Survivin promoter-based conditionally replicative adenoviruses target cholangiocarcinoma.
Cholangiocarcinoma is a highly malignant neoplasm with no effective treatment. Conditionally replicative adenoviruses (CRAds) represent a promising new modality for the treatment of cancer in general. A key contribution in this regard was the introduction of tumor-selective viral replication for amplification of the initial inoculum in the neoplastic cell population. Under ideal conditions foll...
متن کاملConditionally replicative adenoviruses for ovarian cancer therapy.
The purpose of this review article is to present a logical rationale for the investigation of conditionally replicative adenoviral vectors for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma. A medline database search was performed to identify relevant articles in the English language for the years 1966 to present. The key words used included replicative adenovirus, conditionally replicative adenovirus, tra...
متن کاملVascular endothelial growth factor promoter‐based conditionally replicative adenoviruses effectively suppress growth of malignant pleural mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) incidence is increasing drastically worldwide as an occupational disease resulting from asbestos exposure. However, no curative treatment for MM of advanced stage is available. Thus, new therapeutic approaches for MM are required. Because malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells spread along the pleural surface in most patients, MPM can be targeted using intrapleur...
متن کاملThe development of conditionally replicative adenoviruses for cancer therapy.
Replicative viral agents represent a novel approach for treating neoplastic disease. Tumor cell killing by the viral agent is achieved by direct consequence of the viral replication. Relative sparing of nontumor is, however, required to provide a therapeutic index of utility for cancer treatment. To this end, an ideal viral agent would, thus, possess several logical attributes, including stabil...
متن کاملInfectivity-enhanced cyclooxygenase-2-based conditionally replicative adenoviruses for esophageal adenocarcinoma treatment.
The employment of conditionally replicative adenoviruses (CRAd) constitutes a promising alternative for cancer treatment; however, in the case of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) the lack of an appropriate tumor-specific promoter and relative resistance to adenovirus infection have hampered the construction of CRAds with clinically applicable specificity and efficacy. By combining transcriptiona...
