Advanced gastric cancer cannot be treated with surgery or conventional cancer therapy, which has prompted a search for new therapeutic modalities. Previously, we and other groups showed that E1B 55 kDa-deleted recombinant adenoviruses, such as YKL-1, effectively replicate and induce cytotoxicity in p53-deficient cancer cells while sparing normal cells. Here, we investigated selective YKL-1 replication and resultant cytolysis in human gastric cancer cells. The cytopathic effects were obvious in all five gastric cancer cell lines we examined. Evaluation of p53 expression indicated that only the AGS cell line retained functionally normal p53. Nevertheless, AGS was 10-fold more sensitive to YKL-1 than the other cell lines. Transmission electron microscopy showed typical morphological alterations along with efficient replication of YKL-1 in AGS cells. Therefore, YKL-1 induces preferential cytotoxic effects in human gastric cancer cells in a p53-independent manner, making YKL-1 a promising therapeutic agent for human gastric cancers.
