Conditionally replicative oncolytic adenoviruses (CRAds) display significant anti-tumor effects. However, the traditional adenovirus of serotype 5 (Ad5) entering cancer cells via coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) can't be utilized for bladder cancer with low expression of CAR, which limits the application of Ad5.
We utilized Ad5/F11p containing the chimeric fiber gene encoding the Ad5 fiber tail domain and Ad11p fiber shaft and knob domains to construct bladder cancer-specific chimeric type viruses Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A, which can infect bladder cancer cells mediated by CD46 molecule. We carried out series of experiments in vitro to research anti-tumor effect of Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A and the interaction in combination with cisplatin.
The results demonstrated Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A could infect bladder cancer cells (T24, EJ and 5637) in a CAR-independent way, and exert anti-tumor effect by blocking the cancer cells in G1 phase and inducing apoptosis. Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A plus cisplatin enhanced the anti-proliferative effect and increased the number of apoptotic cells compared with viruses or cisplatin alone. Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A plus cisplatin could upregulate the proteins expression of p53, Bax, and cleaved caspase-3, and downregulated Bcl-2 protein expression in T24, EJ and 5637 cells.
We constructed a bladder cancer-specific oncolytic adenovirus and provided new combination treatment strategies for bladder cancer.
条件性复制溶瘤腺病毒(CRAds)具有显著的抗肿瘤作用。然而,传统的5型腺病毒(Ad5)通过柯萨奇病毒和腺病毒受体(CAR)进入癌细胞,对于CAR低表达的膀胱癌无法利用,这限制了Ad5的应用。
我们利用含有编码Ad5纤维尾结构域以及Ad11p纤维杆和纤维结结构域的嵌合纤维基因的Ad5/F11p构建膀胱癌特异性嵌合型病毒Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A,其可通过CD46分子介导感染膀胱癌细胞。我们在体外进行了一系列实验,研究Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A的抗肿瘤作用以及与顺铂联合使用时的相互作用。
结果表明,Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A能够以不依赖CAR的方式感染膀胱癌细胞(T24、EJ和5637),并通过将癌细胞阻滞在G1期和诱导凋亡发挥抗肿瘤作用。与单独使用病毒或顺铂相比,Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A联合顺铂增强了抗增殖作用并增加了凋亡细胞数量。Ad5/F11p-PSCAE-UPII-E1A联合顺铂可上调T24、EJ和5637细胞中p53、Bax和裂解的caspase-3的蛋白表达,并下调Bcl-2蛋白表达。
我们构建了一种膀胱癌特异性溶瘤腺病毒,并为膀胱癌提供了新的联合治疗策略。
