We previously showed that E2F1 overexpression radiosensitizes prostate cancer cells in-vitro. Here, we demonstrate the radiosensitization efficacy of Ad-E2F1 in growing LNCaP (orthotopically) and PC3 (subcutaneously) nude mice xenograft tumors. Adenoviral E2F1 was injected intra-tumorally in LNCaP (3×108 PFU) and PC3 (5×108 PFU) tumors treated with or without radiation. Tumor volumes (TV) were measured by MRI in LNCaP tumors, calipers in PC3 tumors and serum PSA levels by ELISA in LNCaP tumors. Apoptosis was measured by TUNEL staining and key proteins involved in cell death signaling were analyzed by Western blot. Intracellular overexpression of Ad-E2F1 had significant effect in the regression of TV and reducing the PSA relative to adenoviral luciferase (Ad-Luc) control. The in-vivo regressing effect of Ad-E2F1 on LNCaP tumor growth was significant (PSA-34 ng/ml/TV-142 mm3) compared to Ad-Luc control (PSA-59 ng/ml/TV-218 mm3; p<0.05). This effect was significantly enhanced by radiation therapy (PSA-16 ng/ml/TV-55 mm3 compared to Ad-Luc/PSA-42 ng/ml/TV-174 mm3; p<0.05). For PC3 tumors, the greatest effect was observed with Ad-E2F1 alone, there was little or no effect when RT was combined. However, addition of RT enhanced the level of in-situ apoptosis in PC3 tumors. Molecularly, Ad-E2F1 in a combination setting abrogated radiation induced BCL-2 protein and was associated with an increase in activated BAX, together caused a potent radiosensitizing effect irrespective of p53 and AR functional status. We show here for the first time that ectopic overexpression of E2F1 in-vivo using an adenoviral vector significantly inhibits orthotopic p53wild-type LNCaP and subcutaneous p53null PC3 tumors in nude mice. Furthermore, we demonstrate that E2F1 strongly sensitizes LNCaP tumors to RT. These findings suggest that E2F1 overexpression can sensitize prostate tumor cells in-vivo independent of p53 or androgen receptor status.
