Purpose: Oral leukoplakia is a well-recognized precancerous lesion of squamous cell carcinoma. When accompanied with abnormal p53 expression, it suffered a higher risk of canceration. The present study was carried out to test whether the recombinant human adenovirus-p53 could introduce wild-type p53 gene to oral leukoplakia cells and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.Experimental Design: We select p53(-) oral dysplastic keratinocyte POE-9n, to observe the growth inhibition, cell cycle change, apoptosis-incluced effects, and elaborate the corresponding molecular mechanism of recombinant adenovirus-p53 on POE-9n cells. Meanwhile, we evaluate the feasibility, safety, and biological activity of multipoints intraepithelial injections of recombinant adenovirus-p53 in 22 patients with dysplastic oral leukoplakia.Results: Exogenous p53 could be successfully transduced into POE-9n cells by recombinant adenovirus-p53. The optimal infecting titer in this study was multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 100. Recombinant adenovirus-p53 could strongly inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and arrest cell cycle in stage G, in POE-9n cells by inducing p21(CIP/WAF) and downregulating bcl-2 expression. In the posttreatment patients, p53 protein and p21(CIP/WAF) protein expression were significantly enhanced, yet bcl-2 protein presented low expression. Sixteen patients showed clinical response to the treatment, and 14 patients showed obvious histopathologic improvement.Conclusion: Intraepithelial injections of recombinant human adenovirus-p53 were safe, feasible, and biologically active for patients with dysplastic oral leukoplakia.
