The hybrid promoter retains the tumor specificity of the basal hTERT promoter but is characterized by an enhanced transcriptional activity in cancer cells with abnormal activation of the Nrf2 transcription factor and upon induction of oxidative stress. In the in vitro enzyme-prodrug cancer gene therapy scheme, ARE-hTERT promoter-driven expression of CD : UPRT (yeast cytosine deaminase : uracil phosphoribosyltransferase) chimeric protein induced a more pronounced death of cancer cells either upon treatment with 5-fluorouracil (5FC) alone or when 5FC was combined with chemotherapeutic drugs as compared to the hTERT promoter. The developed hybrid promoter can be considered a better alternative to the hTERT promoter in cancer gene therapy schemes.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Cконструирован новый гибридный опухолеспецифический промотор ARE-hTERT, состоящий из промотора гена TERT человека (hTERT) и генетических элементов антиоксидантного ответа (ARE) из промотора гена GCLM человека. Показано, что транскрипционная активность гибридного промотора повышена в опухолевых клетках с аномально активным фактором транскрипции Nrf2 и при индукции окислительного стресса, но при этом сохраняет опухолеспецифичность базального промотора hTERT. В in vitro схеме генной терапии фермент-пролекарство с применением химерного белка цитозиндезаминаза : урацилфосфорибозилтрансфераза и 5-фторцитозина гибридный промотор ARE-hTERT вызывал более выраженную гибель обработанных/необработанных химиотерапевтическими препаратами опухолевых клеток, чем промотор hTERT. Созданный нами гибридный промотор можно рассматривать в качестве лучшей альтернативы промотору hTERT в схемах генной терапии рака.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>hTERT promoter</kwd><kwd>ARE elements</kwd><kwd>oxidative stress</kwd><kwd>hybrid promoter</kwd><kwd>cancer gene therapy</kwd><kwd>tumor-specific promoter</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>промотор hTERT</kwd><kwd>ARE-элементы</kwd><kwd>окислительный стресс</kwd><kwd>гибридный промотор</kwd><kwd>генная терапия рака</kwd><kwd>опухолеспецифический промотор</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by the RFBR grant No. 13-04-40173.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена при поддержке гранта РФФИ № 13-04-40173.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>[1] Shepelev M.V., Korobko E.V., Georgiev G.P., Sverdlov E.D., Korobko I.V. // Cancer Gene Ther. 2011, V.18, №9, P.682-684</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="B2"><label>2.</label><mixed-citation>[2] Korobko I.V. // Curr.
