Gene Expression Changes Induced by a Recombinant E1–/E3– Adenovirus Type 5 Vector in Human Mammary Epithelial Cells

Objectives: Adenoviral vectors are used in transferring exogenous genes to a variety of cells and tissue types both in vitro and in vivo. Gene expression changes induced by an E1/E3-defective adenovirus vector have been studied in human mammary epithelial cells by comparing the gene expression profile in infected and uninfected cells. Methods: The human mammary epithelial cell line HB2 was infected with an E1/E3-defective adenovirus type 5 vector. Total RNA was extracted from infected and uninfected cells 24 and 72 h after infection and subjected to microarray analysis using the Affymetrix U133A genomic chip system. Semiquantitative RT-PCR confirmed the regulation of genes observed by microarray analysis. Results: The microarray analysis showed 24 and 95 transcripts to be regulated 24 and 72 h after infection, respectively. A relatively high number of genes involved in innate and inflammatory host immune responses, including interleukin-8, interleukin-6, NF-ĸB2, RELB and fos, were induced. As expected from an E1-defective virus, changes in the expression of genes involved in the G1-S transition and in the activation of cell proliferation were not detected. Conclusion: Our study provides insight into the host transcriptional response following transduction of an adenoviral vector into mammary epithelial cells.
