The aim of the study was to use a virus-free system to transfer the Herpes Simplex Virus-thymidine kinase (HSV-TK) gene in mice bearing melanoma tumours. B16 F1 murine melanoma cells were injected subcutaneously. On days 11 and 14, an intratumoral injection of either naked plasmid containing the HSV-TK gene (pAG0) or pAG0-lipofectamine complexes was given. Ganciclovir (120 mg/kg/day) was given for 5 days starting on day 14. Tumour weight reduction (40-50%) was observed in treated animals versus different control groups. Moreover, histopathological analysis on tumours showed large areas of cavitary necrosis (85%) in treated groups compared to controls (10%). Using a simple and safe method, the results presented here demonstrated that virus-free mediated delivery of the HSV-TK gene is efficient in vivo in murine malignant melanoma.
