Adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of the apoptotic gene e2f-1 has been shown to induce apoptosis in a variety of tumor cells and acts in an additive or cooperative fashion with several specific chemotherapeutic agents to induce tumor cell death. The apoptotic function of E2F-1 is dependent on its ability to bind DNA; cyclin A kinase activity has been shown to negatively regulate the DNA-binding capacity of E2F-1. In the present study, we sought to determine whether cyclin A kinase activity is involved in mediating the interaction between E2F-1 and chemotherapeutic agents in colon cancer cells. Therefore, human colon adenocarcinoma (SW620) cells were treated with an adenovirus expressing E2F-1 (Ad-E2F-1, multiplicity of infection 20). Immediately following infection, a panel of conventional chemotherapeutic agents with varying modes of cytotoxic action were administered at LD25 doses. Three days following treatment, viability and growth inhibition were determined by trypan blue exclusion assay. Apoptosis was confirmed using cellular morphology, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and flow-cytometric analysis. E2F-1 overexpression and cyclin A protein expression were monitored by immunoblot, and cyclin A kinase activity was determined by kinase assay. Vincristine (VIN), camptothecin (CPT), and actinomycin D were found to have a cooperative (>38% over the additive single therapy values) effect on E2F-1-mediated apoptosis. Etoposide, cisplatin (CIS), and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) showed the least cooperation (less than or equal to11.5% over the additive single therapy values) with E2F-1. Ad-E2F-1 treatment alone results in 3.4-fold increase of cyclin A kinase activity compared to Ad-LacZ control (p
