Suicidal gene therapy in an NF-κB-controlled tumor environment as monitored by a secreted blood reporter by Zalloua, P. A.

“…The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is known to be activated in many cancer types including lung, ovarian, astrocytomas, melanoma, prostate as well as glioblastoma, and has been shown to correlate with disease progression. We have cloned a novel NF-κB-based reporter system (five tandem repeats of NF-κB responsive genomic element (NF; 14 bp each)) to drive the expression cassette for both a fusion between the yeast cytosine deaminase and uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (CU) as a therapeutic gene and the secreted Gaussia luciferase (Gluc) as a blood reporter, separated by an internal ribosomal entry site (NF-CU-IGluc). …”
