Abstract :
Background: Human malignant Burkitt’s lymphomas are an uncommon type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma commonly affects in children. It is a highly aggressive type of B-cell lymphoma. Treatment for this malignant are still limited. However, a new strategy for refractory cancer, gene therapy is watched with keen interest. Recently, a novel method for high-efficiency and region-controlled in vivo gene transfer was developed by combining in vivo electroporation and plasmid cDNA. In the present study, a non-viral gene transfer system, in vivo electroporation in human malignant Burkitt’s lymphoma (Raji) cell xenograft was investigated. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate p27Kip1 gene therapy in Raji cell xenografts using pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 mutant type (mt) and pcDNA3.1 empty vector (neo) with the local application of electric pulses. Methods: True experimental study using post-intervention with control group design was performed in this study. Material sample was obtained from integrated research laboratory at faculty of dentistry, Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta. The efficiency of transfection of exogenous p27Kip1 gene by electroporation was confirmed by Western bloting analysis. To evaluate the reduction of malignant Burkitt’s lymphoma cell xenografts by this method, the volume of Raji cell xenografts in mice after electroporation with p27Kip1 mt or neo gene was measured. Results: Up-regulation of p27Kip1 protein was detected in pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 mt. Furthermore, the growth of tumors was markedly suppressed by p27Kip1 mt gene transfection compared with transfection of neo. Conclusion: Injection of pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 mt gene followed by in vivo electroporation has a high-potentially to suppress the growth of malignant Burkitt’s lymphoma cells. Furthermore, combination system of pcDNA3.1-p27Kip1 mt-injected tumor and electroporation might be used for human oral cancer.
