Abstract

Objective  To test the oncolytic activity of cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2) promoter–based conditional replication-selective adenovirus vector for squamous cell carcinoma cells of the head and neck.

Design  In vitro study.

Subjects  None.

Interventions  A conditional replication-selective adenovirus vector in which the expression of E1a, required for viral replication, is controlled by the COX-2 promoter, Ad-COX2-E1a, was generated. Its oncolytic activity according to the levels of COX-2 and of Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor expression was tested in a series of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell lines.

Results  The respective COX-2 messenger RNA expression ratios of KB, H891, T891, T892, and L871 were 1.5, 60.0, 1.0, 14.6, and 1.3. The corresponding Coxsackie and adenovirus receptor messenger RNA expression ratios were 1, 1, 5, 3, and 1. In vitro assays showed significant growth suppression of cancer cell lines with strong expressions of COX-2.

Conclusion  This study demonstrated the possibility of oncolytic therapy using the COX-2 promoter–based conditional replication-selective adenovirus for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma expressing COX-2.
