  • Publication number: 20230250451
    Abstract: Disclosed is an application of methioninase gene therapy in the treatment of a malignant tumor. In the gene therapy, a virus is used as a vector to insert an exogenous methioninase gene to constitute a methioninase expression system inside a tumor, thus providing an endogenous mechanism for further consumption of methionine. In vitro cytology experiments indicate that the methioninase gene therapy significantly reduces the level of intracellular methionine, effectively inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells, and can be used in an application in preparing a drug for the targeted treatment of a malignant tumor.

  • Patent number: 9439934
    Abstract: The current invention discloses an attenuated Salmonella typhimurium, a genetically engineered bacterium and applications thereof in preparing drugs for the treatment of prostate cancer. The attenuated Salmonella typhimurium has tumor targeting and significant inhibitory effects on prostate cancer cells. A genetically engineered bacterium bearing a L-methioninase gene plasmid also has tumor targeting ability. The attenuated Salmonella typhimurium with the plasmid can constitutively express L-methioninase in the tumor tissues, consume a significant amount of methionine and other nutrients, which in turn causes lack of nutrition and slow growth of tumor cells. Therefore, it can be used as drugs for treating prostate cancer.
