To evaluate the expression of the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and alpha(v) integrins in clinical specimens of bladder cancer to determine the susceptibility to adenoviral gene therapy. Efficient adenovirus-based gene therapy requires binding of the virus to CAR and involves the alpha(v) integrins. Studies on bladder cancer cell lines have shown that low adenoviral transduction rates were associated with low-level expression of CAR. Integrin alpha(v) expression increases in various tumors suggest its importance in differentiation, proliferation, and migration. CAR is structurally a member of the Ig-type superfamily of cell-cell adhesion molecules, suggesting that its expression may also be related to the state of tumor differentiation.
