Pyroptosis, driven by the N-terminal domain of gasdermin proteins (GSDM), promotes antitumor immunity by attracting lymphocytes to the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, current pyroptosis-inducing therapies like drug injections and phototherapy are limited to localized treatments, making them unsuitable for widespread or microscopic metastatic lesions. This study engineered oncolytic M1 viruses (rM1-mGSDME_FL and rM1-mGSDME_NT) to selectively deliver GSDME to tumor cells. These modified viruses enhanced tumor cell death in breast cancer models, suppressed tumor growth, extended survival in mice, and boosted immune cell infiltration, demonstrating significant anticancer potential through pyroptosis induction.
由gasdermin蛋白(GSDM)的N端结构域驱动的细胞焦亡,通过将淋巴细胞吸引至肿瘤微环境(TME)来促进抗肿瘤免疫。然而,目前的细胞焦亡诱导疗法,如药物注射和光疗,仅限于局部治疗,不适用于广泛或微小的转移性病变。本研究构建了溶瘤M1病毒(rM1-mGSDME_FL和rM1-mGSDME_NT),以选择性地将GSDME递送至肿瘤细胞。这些修饰病毒在乳腺癌模型中增强了肿瘤细胞死亡,抑制了肿瘤生长,延长了小鼠生存期,并促进了免疫细胞浸润,通过诱导细胞焦亡显示出显著的抗癌潜力。
