摘要

Introduction of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) thymidine kinase (TK) gene in tumor cells, followed by treatment of the transfected tumor cells with an antiherpes drug has shown promise in the treatment of solid tumors. We have recently shown that the HSV-1 TK fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) was localized almost exclusively in the nuclei of HSV-1 TK-GFP fusion gene-transfected human osteosarcoma cells, due to the presence of a nuclear localization signal (NLS) at the N-terminus of the HSV-1 TK. A deletion mutant, lacking the N-terminal 34 amino acids [ (AA1-34)HSV-1 TK-GFP], was distributed throughout the cytoplasm and nucleus of transfected tumor cells. In addition, varicella-zoster virus (VZV) TK-GFP, which lacks the NLS and which is uniformly distributed in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the VZV TK-GFP gene- transfected tumor cells, could be specifically targeted to the nucleus by ligating the HSV-1 TK nuclear localization signal to the VZV TK-GFP sequence. Two pairs of osteosarcoma cell lines stably expressing HSV-1 TK-GFP or VZV TK-GFP either in the nucleus or throughout the cell were established and compared for their sensitivity to the cytostatic effects of a variety of antiherpetic nucleoside analogues. In addition, the efficacy of nucleoside analogues in contributing to the bystander effect (i.e., the killing of non-transfected tumor cells by neighbouring TK gene- transfected cells after gap junctional transfer of phosphorylated nucleoside metabolites), was evaluated using the HSV-1 TK-GFP and (AA1-34)HSV-1 TK-GFP gene constructs. From our experiments it is inferred that there is no difference in cytostatic activity of the antiherpetic??123Degrève et al: Antiherpetic drugs in combined gene/chemotherapy of cancernucleoside analogues against TK gene-transfected cells, whether the TK activity is solely localized in the nucleus or spread over the nucleus and cytosol. Also, the bystander killing effect of the antiviral compounds was independent of the nature of the intracellular compartment in which the HSV-1 TK-GFP fusion protein was expressed.
