Mechanism of Increased Coxsackie and Adenovirus Receptor Gene Expression and Adenovirus Uptake by Phytoestrogen and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor in Human Bladder Cancer Cells and the Potential Clinical Application
1 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) is known as a principal receptor for adenovirus commonly used as a gene delivery vector. Down-regulation of CAR is often detected in several cancer types. Epigenetic modifiers such as histone deacetylase inhibitor FK228 (depsipeptide) have been shown to increase CAR expression as well as the uptake of adenovirus in bladder cancer in vivo and in vitro, indicating that...
