Synergistic antitumor effect of combined use of adenoviral-mediated<i>p53</i>gene transfer and antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting<i>clusterin</i>gene in an androgen-independent human prostate cancer model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Our recent studies showed that antisense oligodeoxynucleotide targeting antiapoptotic gene, clusterin, enhanced apoptosis induced by conventional therapeutic modalities using several prostate cancer models. In this study, to establish a more effective therapeutic strategy against prostate cancer, we investigated the effect of combined treatment with antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide and adenoviral-mediated p53 gene transfer (Ad5CMV-p53) in an androgen-independent human prostate PC3 tumor model. Treatment of PC3 cells with 500 nmol/L antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide decreased clusterin mRNA by >80% compared with that with 500 nmol/L mismatch control oligodeoxynucleotide. Clusterin mRNA expression in PC3 cells was highly up-regulated by Ad5CMV-p53 treatment; however, antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide treatment further suppressed clusterin expression in PC3 cells after Ad5CMV-p53 treatment. Antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide treatment significantly enhanced the sensitivity of Ad5CMV-p53 in a dose-dependent manner, reducing the IC50 of Ad5CMV-p53 by 75%. Apoptotic cell death was detected after combined treatment but not after treatment with either agent alone. In vivo administration of antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide and Ad5CMV-p53 resulted in a significant inhibition of s.c. PC3 tumor growth as well as lymph node metastases from orthotopic PC3 tumors compared with administration of either agent alone. Furthermore, combined treatment with antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide, Ad5CMV-p53, and mitoxantrone completely eradicated s.c. PC3 tumors and lymph node metastases from orthotopic PC3 tumors in 60% and 100% of mice, respectively. These findings suggest that combined treatment with antisense clusterin oligodeoxynucleotide and Ad5CMV-p53 could be a novel strategy to inhibit progression of hormone-refractory prostate cancer and that further addition of chemotherapeutic agents may help to enhance the efficacy of this combined regimen.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
