We have developed unique replication-competent retroviral (RCR) vectors based on murine leukemia virus that provide improved efficiency of viral delivery, allow for long-term transgene expression and demonstrate an intrinsic selectivity for transduction of rapidly dividing tumor cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vivo transduction efficiency and the therapeutic efficacy of the RCR vector mediated delivery of Escherichia coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) in combination with fludarabine phosphate for bladder cancer. We constructed vectors containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene (ACE)-GFP) or PNP gene (ACE-PNP). KU-19-19 bladder tumors exhibited 28.3+/-16.1, 46.6+/-5.8 and 93.7+/-7.8% of GFP expression on 14, 18 and 26 days after intratumoral injection of ACE-GFP, respectively. GFP expression could not be observed in normal tissues surrounding the injected tumors. No detectable polymerase chain reaction products of GFP gene could be observed in any distant organs. Intratumoral injection of ACE-PNP, followed by systemically administered fludarabine phosphate, significantly inhibited the growth of pre-established KU-19-19 tumors. Our results indicate that RCR vectors are a potentially efficient gene delivery method and that the RCR vector mediated PNP gene transfer and fludarabine phosphate treatment might be a novel and potentially therapeutic modality for bladder cancer.
