Abstract:
To investigate the variation in vitro bystander effect among human lung cancer cell lines after transfection of pCEAcd-tk. Methods: pCEAcd-tk was extracted and transfected to six human lung cancer cell lines. Their sensitivity to 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) and ganciclovir (GCV) was measured by MTT assay. Their bystander effect was also determined. Results: 1. The efficiency of lipid mediated gene transfer was very low; 2. Two out of six human lung cancer cell lines(SPCA-1,A549) have a high sensitivity to 5-FC and GCV; 3.Bystander effect: Two out of six human cancer cell lines(SPCA-1,SC) have a good bystander effect, and one out of them(A49)has a intermediate bystander effect, but three out of them (GLC-82,HLAMP and L-78)have a poor bystander effect. Conclusion: There are a variation in vitro bystander effect in six human lung cancer cell lines after transfected with pCEAcd-tk.
