AbstractPurpose/Objective.: To investigate whether exogenous PUMA expression suppresses the growth of drug-resistant choriocarcinoma cells and sensitizes them to chemotherapeutic agents. Methods.: An adenovirus expressing PUMA (Ad-PUMA), alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents( 5-FU, vp16, MTX), was used to treat drug-resistant choriocarcinoma cells jeg-3/vp16 and parental jeg-3. The growth inhibitory and proapoptotic effects of Ad-PUMA both in vitro and in vivo were examined. The mechanisms of PUMA-mediated growth suppression and apoptosis were investigated by an analysis of caspase 3 activation and the change of mitochondrial membrane potential. The levels of PUMA, p53 and caspase 3 were detected by Western blotting. Result.: PUMA was expressed lower in jeg-3/vp16 than in jeg-3. jeg-3/vp16 responded much less sensitively to 5-FU and vp16 treatment than jeg-3, though PUMA was up-regulated in both cells. Exogenous PUMA expression resulted in potent growth suppression of jeg-3/vp16 and jeg-3 through induction of apoptosis. Ad-PUMA sensitized jeg-3 and jeg-3/vp16 to chemotherapeutic agents. When Ad-PUMA 10MOI and 5-FU, vp16 or MTX were combined respectively, IC50 of drugs decreased by 8.66-, 18.66- and 13.06-fold compared with those treated by anticancer drugs alone in jeg-3/vp16, while in jeg-3, IC50 decreased only by 1.80-, 1.78- and 2.76-fold. Ad-PUMA restored the sensitivity of choriocarcinoma cells to chemotherapeutic agents by enhancing apoptosis induced by anticancer drugs. Similar results could be observed in vivo. Xenograft tumors were inhibited by Ad-PUMA or vp16. In the drug-resistant group, the inhibitory rate increased from 14.57% to 78.93% in vp16 and vp16 combined with Ad-PUMA subgroups. While in the parental group, the inhibitory rate increased but slightly, from 66.39% to 71.56%. Conclusion.: PUMA is an important player in the therapeutic responses to chemotherapeutic agents of choriocarcinoma cells. In addition to its role in inhibiting tumor growth, low dose of Ad-PUMA significantly restored the sensitivity of choriocarcinoma cells to chemotherapeutic agents in vitro and in vivo. Exogenous PUMA is potentially useful as a sensitizer in treating drug-resistant choriocarcinoma. © 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
