title = "Osteonectin promoter-mediated suicide gene therapy of prostate cancer",
abstract = "Suicide gene therapy using the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-tk) gene, combined with the prodrug ganciclovir (GCV) medication, is a promising approach for the treatment of malignant tumors, including prostate cancer. The success of this therapeutic strategy requires tissue- or tumor-specific gene expression and efficient gene delivery. In this chapter, we describe the experimental protocols of key methodologies, including promoter construction, reporter assay, adenoviral vector construction and preparation, HSV-tk enzymatic assay and cytotoxicity assay to evaluate the specificity and efficacy of osteonectin promoter-mediated HSV-tk/GCV suicide gene therapy of prostate cancer.",
