OBJECTIVE To construct a replication-defective adenovirus containing TK gene and investigate the killing effects of TK gene against human liver cancer cells SMMC-7721. METHODS The recombinant adenovirus ADV-TK was constructed using homologous recombination in the cells. SMMC-7721 cells transfected with recombined adenovirus were exposed to GCV, and the cell viability was measured by MTT assays. RESULTS The recombinant adenovirus containing TK gene was successfully constructed. Transfection by the recombinant adenovirus ADV-TK and GCV exposure significantly suppressed the growth of SMMC-7721 cells. CONCLUSIONS A replication-defective adenovirus containing TK gene has been successfully constructed, and in combination with GCV, the recombinant adenovirus produces significant killing effect against SMMC-7721 cells in vitro.
