The development of pancreatic cancer involves an accumulation of genetic changes, including oncogene activation and mutations in tumor suppressor genes important in cell cycle regulation. As a step to developing gene therapies to restore cell cycle control, we hypothesized that adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of a constitutively active, nonphosphorylatable form of the retinoblastoma gene (AdRb) would inhibit human pancreatic tumor cell proliferation.
