Effective Treatment of Tumors with Strong β-Catenin/T-Cell Factor Activity by Transcriptionally Targeted Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Vector
15 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
The Wnt/beta-catenin/T-cell factor (Tcf) pathway is aberrantly up-regulated in the majority of colorectal cancers (CRC) and hepatoblastomas due to either an APC or beta-catenin gene mutation. We constructed synthetic promoters, T and TE, which contain tandem repeats of a Tcf responsive element without and with the human 4F2 gene intronic enhancer, respectively. Although the T and TE promoters showed higher...
