• Objective：To generate recombinant adenovirus that could simultaneously express ornithine decarboxylase（ODC） and S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase（AdoMetDC） antisenses specifically in prostate cancer cells,and evaluate its inhibitory effect on prostate cancer in vivo.Methods：Fragments of ODC and AdoMetDC genes were generated by PCR,cloned into the pPGL-PSES,and then recombined with pAdEasy-1 vectors in AdEasy-1 cells.Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas virus was produced in HEK293 cells.Following transfection with Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas,the levels of ODC or AdoMetDC were determined by RT-PCR and western blot assays.The effect of Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas treatment on tumor formation and growth was evaluated in xenograft models of prostate cancers in vivo.Results：The plasmid pAdEasy-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas was successfully constructed and the recombinant Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas adenovirus was produced.Transfection with Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas adenovirus significantly inhibited the expression of ODC and AdoMetDC genes specifically in prostate DU145 cells,but not H1299,HT29 and HepG2 cancer cells,and disrupted the ability of DU145 cells to form solid prostate cancer in vivo.Intratumoral treatment with Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas adenovirus significantly inhibited the growth of engrafted prostate tumors in vivo.Conclusion：The recombinant Ad-PSES-ODC-AdoMetDCas adenovirus specifically reduces the expression of both ODC and AdoMetDC genes in prostate cells and may be used for treatment of prostate cancers at the clinic.
