<p>The present invention relates to gene therapy methods for the treatment of human disease. More specifically, the invention is directed, in one embodiment, to methods for treating a subject with a hyperproliferative disease. In another embodiment, an adenoviral expression construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding a human MDA-7 protein under the control of a promoter operable in eukaryotic cells is administered to the patient with a hyperproliferative disease. The present invention thus provides a gene therapy for treating hyperproliferative disease by elevating the expression of MDA-7 resulting in inhibition of cell growth and induction of apoptosis in hyperproliferative cells.</p> |
