Abstract excerpt
The present study was designed to investigate the efficacy of combination gene therapy using adenoviral vectors expressing gene products shown to possess apoptotic activity: E2F-1 (Ad-E2F-1) and a C-terminal deletion mutant of p21(WAF1/cIP1) (Ad-p21(-PCNA)), on growth inhibition and apoptosis of human colon cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Marked E2F-1 and p21(-PCNA) overexpression in response to adenovirus...
