Abstract: BACKGROUND & AIM: To investigate the suppression effect on human gastric carcinoma cell HGC27 by combination of wild-type P53, P16 genes mediated by retrovirus vector. METERIAL AND METHODS:Human gastric carcinoma cell line HGC27 was transfected via two retrovirus vectors pLNCX containing wild-type P53, P16 genes by lipofectamine. By using cell growth curve, MTT growth inhibition rate, Southern blot and flow cytometry assay, the clones obtained were detected and observed for the changes of their biologic characteristics. RESULTS:Overexpression of wild-type P53 and P16 gene inhibited the growth of human gastric carcinoma cell line. The HGC27 cell growth inhibition and apoptosis caused by combination transfection of wild-type P53 and P16 gene were higher than those caused by single gene transfection. CONCLUSION: The therapeutic effect of P53 and P16 gene combination therapy is significantly higher than that of single gene therapy.
