To investigate the feasibility of repeated gene transfection in suicide gene therapy against human solid tumors by a combination of 5- fluorocytosine (5-FC) and its converting enzyme, cytosine deaminase (CD), we repeatedly transfected the yeast CD gene into the human pancreatic cancer cell line BXPC3 using the hemagglutinating virus of Japan-liposome in a new gene transfer method. The in vivo growth of the s.c. transplanted BXPC3 tumor in nude mice given CD-gene transfection was significantly suppressed by i.p. injection of 5-FC when compared with tumors treated with the control vector. Furthermore, the tumor transfected with the CD gene during a 7-day interval was suppressed much more than that of a single transfection. These results suggest that repeated transfection of the suicide gene together with the combination of 5-FC and the yeast CD gene using the hemagglutinating virus of Japan-liposome gene transfer method may be useful for the treatment of human solid tumors, including pancreatic cancer.
