Melanoma differentiation-associated 7 (mda-7) (interleukin 24), when expressed via a recombinant replication-defective adenovirus, adenovirus (Ad).mda-7, has profound antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects in a variety of tumor cells but not in nontransformed cells.
Melanoma Differentiation Associated gene-7 (mda-7)/IL-24 has shown potent tumor cell apoptosis inducing capacity in multiple cancers, making it a strong candidate for use as a human cancer gene therapeutic.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7 (mda-7), recently classified as interleukin-24 (approved gene symbol IL24), is thought to be a tumor suppressor gene based on the loss of its expression in many different types of cancer.
Melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (Mda-7)/IL-24 was previously cloned into ZD55 (an adenovirus with E1B55 deleted) to form ZD55-IL-24, which had much better antitumor effect than Ad-IL-24.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24) is a cancer-specific, growth-suppressing and apoptosis-inducing gene with broad-spectrum antitumor activity.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7 /IL-24 inhibited migration and invasion by down-regulating the production of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and by up-regulating the production of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. relative to PBS and Ad-Luc.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24) is a novel cytokine displaying selective apoptosis-inducing activity in transformed cells without harming normal cells.

Melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin 24 (mda-7/IL-24) is a cytokine displaying selective apoptosis-inducing activity in tumors, including glioblastoma (GBM), without damaging normal cells.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24) has been consistently shown to exert growth inhibitory effects on various tumor types.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24) is a potent cancer gene therapeutic because of its broad-spectrum cancer-specific apoptosis-inducing properties as well as its multipronged indirect antitumor activities.
Melanoma differentiation associated gene-7 (mda-7) is a novel tumor suppressor gene, which has suppressor activity in a broad spectrum of human cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo through activation of various intracellular signaling pathways.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24) is a novel candidate of tumor suppressor that can selectively induce apoptosis experimentally in a spectrum of human cancer cells including leukemia cells.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24), identified by subtraction hybridization in the mid-1990s, is a potent gene therapeutic for cancer.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene 7 (mda-7)/interleukin-24 (IL-24) is a unique member of the IL-10 gene family, which displays a broad range of antitumor properties, including induction of cancer-specific apoptosis.
Melanoma differentiation-associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24), a cytokine belonging to the IL-10 family, selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells without harming normal cells by promoting an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response.
