Fhit gene therapy prevents tumor development in fhit-deficient mice

TL;DR: This study was able to inhibit tumor development by oral gene transfer, using adenoviral or adenoassociated viral vectors expressing the human FHIT gene, in heterozygous Fhit+/− knockout mice, that are prone to tumor development after carcinogen exposure.
Journal Article

WW domain containing oxidoreductase gene expression is altered in non-small cell lung cancer.

TL;DR: It is concluded that WWOX alterations occur in a significant fraction of lung cancers and may contribute to the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer.
Journal Article

Effect of Adenoviral Transduction of the Fragile Histidine Triad Gene into Esophageal Cancer Cells

TL;DR: Results showed suppression of cell growth in vitro in three of seven esophageal cancer cell lines, all seven of which showed abundant expression of the FHIT gene, suggesting that adenoviral-FHIT infection should be explored as a therapeutic strategy.
Journal Article

Fragile Histidine Triad Expression Delays Tumor Development and Induces Apoptosis in Human Pancreatic Cancer

TL;DR: In vivo results show that FHit gene transfer delays tumor growth and prolongs survival in a murine model mimicking human disease, and viral FHIT gene delivery results in apoptosis by activation of the caspase pathway.
