The antitumor effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF‐α) were evaluated following transfection of TNF‐α plasmid DNA into solid mouse tumors using the nanobubbles (NBs) and ultrasound (US) gene delivery system. Murine breast carcinoma (EMT6) cells expressing luciferase (1 × 106cells) were injected intradermally into the flanks of 6–7‐week‐old male SCID mice on day 0. Ten microliters of TNF‐α (5 μg/μL) or TNF‐α mock plasmid DNA (5 μg/μL) with/without NBs (15 μL) and saline was injected intratumorally in a total volume of 30 μL, and tumors were exposed to US (frequency, 1 MHz; intensity, 3.0 W/cm2; duty cycle, 20%; number of pulses, 200; and exposure time, 60 s) on days 2, 4, 7, and 9. Changes in tumor size were measured with anin vivobioluminescent imaging system and a mechanical caliper. Changes in tumor vessel area were quantified using contrast‐enhanced US imaging with Sonazoid and a high frequency US imaging system (40 MHz) and immunohistochemistry (CD31). At the mRNA level, expression of TNF‐α, caspase‐3, and p53 were quantified using real‐time quantitative RT‐PCR. At the protein level, expression of caspase‐3 and p53 were confirmed by immunohistochemistry. We show that repeated TNF‐α gene delivery using NBs and US can lead to the local production of TNF‐α. This results in antitumor effects, including activation of p53‐dependent apoptosis, decrease in tumor vessel density, and suppression of tumor size. In this study, we showed the effectiveness of using NBs and US for TNF‐α gene delivery into tumor cells. (Cancer Sci2011; 102: 2082–2089)
