[Transfection of thymidine phosphorylase cDNA with lentiviral vector enhances the anticancer effect of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine on colorectal cancer cell lines HT29 and LS174T].

Transfection of TP cDNA into colorectal cancer cell lines HT29 and LS174T with lentiviral vector can improve the expression of both TP mRNA and TP protein levels in passaged cells, enhance the conversion of 5-Fu from 5'-DFUR in the medium, and result in an enhanced anticancer effect on these two cell lines.
