Clinical trials of adenoviral p53 gene therapy provide the evidence that the bystander effect induced by the wild-type p53 gene transfer on adjacent tumor cells contributes to tumor progression; its mechanism, however, remains uncharacterized. We report in this work that injection of adenovirus expressing the human wild-type p53 gene (Ad5CMVp53) into established human colorectal tumors in nu/nu mice resulted in CD95 ligand (CD95L) overexpression, followed by a massive neutrophil infiltration. Culture supernatants of human colorectal cancer cells infected with Ad5CMVp53 exhibited a potent chemotactic activity against murine polymorphonuclear neutrophils, which could be abolished by the anti-CD95L mAb (NOK-1). In vivo cell depletion experiments indicated that neutrophils were in part responsible for the antitumor effect of the Ad5CMVp53 infection. Our data directly suggest that overexpression of CD95L by the wild-type p53 gene transfer induces neutrophil infiltration into human colorectal tumors, which may play a critical role in the bystander effect of p53 gene therapy.
