A Vesicular Stomatitis Virus‐Inspired DNA Nanocomplex for Ovarian Cancer Therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gene therapy provides a novel method for cancer therapy. This study shows a DNA nanocomplex that is inspired from vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) for ovarian cancer therapy. This DNA nanocomplex consists of a cationized monomethoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-poly (d,l-lactide) (MPEG-PLA) nanoparticle and a plasmid encoding the matrix protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSVMP) that plays a critical role in the VSV-induced apoptosis of cancer cells. The cationized MPEG-PLA nanoparticle that is self-assembled by MPEG-PLA copolymer and N -[1-(2,3-dioleoyloxy) propyl]-N,N,N-trimethylammonium chloride (DOTAP) has low cytotoxicity and high transfection efficiency (>80%). Intraperitoneal administration of the p VSVMP nanocomplex remarkably inhibits the intraperitoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer and does not cause significant systemic toxicity. The apoptosis induction and anti-angiogenesis are involved in the anticancer mechanism. This work demonstrates a VSV-inspired DNA nanocomplex that has potential application for the treatment of intraperitoneal metastasis of ovarian cancer.

Potential of vesicular stomatitis virus as an oncolytic therapy for recurrent and drug-resistant ovarian cancer
In the last decade, we have gained significant understanding of the mechanism by which vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) specifically kills cancer cells. Dysregulation of translation and defective innate immunity are both thought to contribute to VSV oncolysis. Safety and efficacy are important objectives to consider in evaluating VSV as a therapy for malignant disease. Ongoing efforts may enab...

Previously, we described an oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus variant pseudotyped with the nonneurotropic glycoprotein of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, VSV-GP, which was highly effective in glioblastoma. Here, we tested its potency for the treatment of ovarian cancer, a leading cause of death from gynecological malignancies. Effective oncolytic activity of VSV-GP could be demonstra...

OBJECTIVE Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) matrix protein (MP) has been reported to be capable of inducing apoptosis in vitro in the absence of other viral components. In the present study, the antitumor effect of a recombinant plasmid encoding VSVMP on human ovarian cancer and its apoptosis-inducing efficacy in vivo were further investigated. METHODS The recombinant plasmid DNA carrying VSVM...
متن کاملAptamer-facilitated Protection of Oncolytic Virus from Neutralizing Antibodies
Oncolytic viruses promise to significantly improve current cancer treatments through their tumor-selective replication and multimodal attack against cancer cells. However, one of the biggest setbacks for oncolytic virus therapy is the intravenous delivery of the virus, as it can be cleared from the bloodstream by neutralizing antibodies before it reaches the tumor cells. We have selected DNA ap...
