Abstract
Background Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a has considerable anti-tumour
activity and may have potential as a treatment for metastatic colorectal
cancer. However, TNF-a responses in patients and cell lines are variable and
TNF-a treatment is associated with dose limiting clinical toxicity. Activation of
NF±kB is protective against TNF-a induced cell death, and this may explain
tumour resistance.
Methods In order to provide further understanding of determinants of TNF-
a responses, we studied TNF-a induced NF±kB activation and variable tumour
responses. We analysed the kinetics of TNF-a induced NF±kB activation in
colorectal cancer cells and determined whether it is possible to sensitize
colorectal tumour cells to TNF-a by modulation of NF±kB signalling.
Results We demonstrated that sustained NF±kB activation exceeding 16 h
was observed in HRT18 and SW480 cells and was associated with TNF-a
resistance. In contrast, transient NF±kB activation in HCT116 cells was
associated with sensitivity to cytotoxic TNF-a effects, suggesting that NF±kB
kinetics may have utility as clinical marker of TNF-a tumour resistance.
Despite variable TNF-a responses and NF±kB kinetics, all three colorectal
cancer cell lines were highly sensitive to treatment with the TNF-related
apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) which induced only transient NF±kB
activation. This further supports the notion of a pre-determined NF±kB
response in¯uencing receptor-mediated cell death. We also show that stable
transfection and adenoviral-mediated expression of IkB(A32/36) can be used
to confer TNF-a sensitivity to colorectal tumour cells previously resistant.
Conclusions These ®ndings indicate that a combined approach using gene
therapy and recombinant TNF-a merits further appraisal. Furthermore, the
kinetics of the TNF-a response could be determined using a `test-dose' to
indicate whether individual patients might bene®t from this gene therapy
approach. Copyright # 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Introduction
Current treatment regimens for hepatic colorectal metastases rarely effect a
cure and only marginally prolong survival. Hence, there is a clear need for
novel approaches to treat such established disease. Combination chemo-
therapeutic approaches that incorporate gene therapy are attractive since
genetic manipulation has the potential to sensitize cancer cells. Initial

anti-neoplastic agent [1,2] waned as it became clear that
some tumours are relatively resistant to TNF-a and its use
is limited by toxicity [3±5].
Recently, a molecular mechanism, which can account
for at least part of the observed TNF-a resistance has
become evident [6±8]. TNF-a induces a pro-apoptotic
molecular cascade mediated by death domain proteins
that associate with the TNF-a receptor [9]. This results in
activation of a cascade of caspase proteases [10].
However, tumour cells also initiate a protective anti-
apoptotic pathway mediated by activation of NF±kB.
Thus, the ability of TNF-a to elicit cell death depends on
the balance between apoptotic and protective signals.
Several NF±kB target genes such as A20, MnSOD, the bcl-
2 homologue b¯-1/A1 as well as TRAF-1 and 2, in
conjunction with c-IAP-1 and 2, have been implicated in
the anti-apoptotic functions. Overexpression of these
genes has been shown to protect cells from TNF-a
cytotoxicity [11±13]. Since NF±kB activation plays such
a pivotal role in cellular protective responses it might also
have a role in determining TNF-a resistance in colorectal
and other cancer cells. Furthermore, NF±kB responses
may have relevance to drug resistance in other chemo-
therapeutic approaches such as CPT11 [14].
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is
another factor shown to activate NF±kB and to induce
cell death in several tumour cell lines [15], but seems to
induce very limited NF±kB mediated anti-apoptotic
responses [16]. It has also been shown to have anti-
tumour activity in xenografts of human colon cancer cell
lines [17]. TRAIL (also known as Apo2), induces
programmed cell death following binding to surface
receptors [18] by utilizing the same cellular death
pathway as TNF-a [19].
The NF±kB transcription factor [20] is normally
sequestered in the cytoplasm by IkB±a, or other members
of the IkB family [21]. Following stimulation by
extracellular signals such as TNF-a, IL-1 or LPS, IkBis
phosphorylated at serine residues 32 and 36 by the IKK-
(IkB±a kinase) complex [22±24]. Such phosphorylation
leads to proteolytic degradation of IkB which in turn
unmasks a nuclear target sequence within NF±kB and
leads to its translocation to the nucleus. The expression of
a super-repressor form of IkB±a mutated at residues 32
and 36, designated IkB(A32/36) or IkB-SR has been
shown to block the nuclear translocation of NF±kBin
Hela, Jurkat and ®brosarcoma cells leading to increased
TNF-a sensitivity [6±8,14]. Inhibition of NF±kB by this
super-repressor prevents the activation of anti-apoptotic
genes such as cIAP-1 and 2 that block a pro-apoptotic
response by inhibition of caspase-8 [13]. Hence, a gene
therapy strategy could be envisaged that exploits mutant
IkB to selectively increase in vivo tumour sensitivity but
with a concomitant TNF-a dose reduction to minimize
clinical toxicity. This strategy requires only transient
expression of IkB (A32/36), and so replication-defective
adenoviral vectors are an attractive gene delivery system.
Several suicide gene approaches are currently in experi-
mental and clinical trials with some degree of success
[25]. Adenoviral mediated IkB (A32/36) tumour trans-
duction followed by TNF-a treatment might have
particular advantages, because TNF-a increases tumour
sensitivity to the chemotherapeutic agent 5-FU [26]. A
combination approach is attractive in view of potential
synergism between agents.
In this article we show that the kinetics of NF±kB
activation have a major in¯uence on the TNF-a response.
Sustained NF±kB activation was associated with TNF-a
resistance and transient NF±kB activation with TNF-a
sensitivity. We provide further evidence that receptor-
mediated apoptosis is in¯uenced by NF±kB activation
kinetics since treatment with TRAIL induced a transient
NF±kB response that resulted in apoptosis in all colorectal
cancer cells studied. The NF±kB response could be used as
a biological marker to predict individual TNF-a responses
with respect to its anti-neoplastic function and could aid
in the tailoring of TNF-a based therapies. We show that
colorectal cancer cells that are resistant to TNF-a can be
sensitized by expression of a dominant negative IkB,
which inhibits the NF±kB mediated anti-apoptotic cellular
programme.
Materials and methods
Cell culture and viral infection
HCT116, HRT18 and SW480 human colorectal cancer
cells were grown in McCoy, RPMI and L-15 medium
(Gibco BRL, Paisley, UK), respectively, containing 10%
fetal calf serum (FCS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin.
For functional studies, cells were treated with TNF-a
(R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) of concentrations
of 0, 1, 10 and 100 ng/ml in 2% serum-containing
medium and harvested at different time-points. TRAIL
(R&D Systems) was used at a concentration of 10 ng/ml.
Stable transfectants were generated by transfection of a
pcDNA construct containing an IkB(A32/36) cDNA under
the control of a CMV early promoter/enhancer element
[27]. A standard lipofection method was used (Gibco).
The transfected cells were selected under 1.5 mg/ml
G418 (Gibco) and 20 individual clones picked, expanded
and tested for transgene expression. Despite several
attempts we have not been able to identify any IkB-
expressing SW480 clones. We believe that such clones
might have signi®cant survival disadvantages during
G418 selection.
Adenovirus infections were performed in medium
containing 2% FCS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin for
24 h, after which cells were harvested for transgene
analysis, or TNF-a treatment was started. Multiplicity of
infection (MOI) of 0, 1000, 5000 and 10 000 particles/
cell corresponding to 0, 40, 200 and 400 pfu/cell (25
particles required to infect one cell of the reference cell
line 293), respectively were used. For growth studies and
EMSA analysis an MOI of 5000 was used. Growth was
measured by seeding 10
4
cells into each well of a 24-well
plate, and treated with TNF-a, as described above, 2 days
