A novel tumor suppressor, REIC/Dkk-3 gene identified by our in vitro transformation model of normal human fibroblasts works as a potent therapeutic anti-tumor agent.

Abstract:

:Reduced Expression in Immortalized Cell (REIC) was cloned by subtractive hybridization method as a gene whose expression is reduced in many human immortalized and neoplastic tumor cells. The REIC, when over-expressed by an adenovirus (Ad-REIC), exhibited a dramatic therapeutic effect on a wide variety of human cancers through a mechanism triggered by ER-stress-mediated JNK activation. In addition to this direct effect on cancer cells, Ad-REIC exerted another cytotoxicity on human cancers, an indirect host-mediated effect due to overproduction of IL-7 by mis-targeted normal cells. This "one-bullet two-arms" finding may lead to a powerful new therapeutic approach to the treatment of human cancers.
