Abstract

We recently obtained 3 cloned cell lines demonstrating the p53 mutation from a lung metastatic nodule of a rat transplantable osteosarcoma. In this study, we applied wild-type p53 gene transfer to the rat osteosarcoma cells by lipofection to investigate the effects on cell growth, expression of genes such as waf1/p21, bcl-2, and bax, and nucleosomal DNA fragmentation due to apoptosis. Reconstitution of the p53 gene inhibits cellular growth, and this growth-suppressive effect is partly due to apoptosis involving bcl-2 gene suppression in this tumor type. This rat osteosarcoma model is similar in biologic behavior to human cases and thus is very suitable for further investigation of tumorigenesis and gene therapy for osteosarcoma.
