Cancer is………
Unusual cell growth caused by genetic mutation
Usually in form of tumor
Not all tumors are cancerous. Tumors can be
benign or malignant
Benign tumors are not cancerous and can be
removed and do not spread through out the
body.
A malignant tumor is an aggressive and invasive
tumor which has a tendency to grow and spread in
the body through the lymphatic system or blood
stream.

An Oncolytic virus (OV) is a virus having the ability to specifically infect
and lyse cancer cells, while leaving normal cells unharmed.
Here, certain viral genes act as tumour destructive agent, and the viral
capsid as a nano-sized nucleic acid delivery vehicle.
Oncolytic Onco: prefix for tumor Lytic: relating to lysis(destruction of cell)

![Page 5: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
In general, oncolytic viruses
derive their specificity by
exploiting cell surface receptor
or intracellular aberrations in
gene expression that arise in
malignancies during tumour
development.

A. PRO APOPTOTIC TARGETING :
Many viruses delay apoptosis of
infected cells in order to assist
their replication.
These encode certain proteins
which alter the activity of
important regulators of
programmed cell death such as
p53 and pRb.
E1 A E1 B
Normal cellp53pRb
Delay premature apoptosis
![Page 8: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A. PRO APOPTOTIC TARGETING :
E1 GENE
Normal cell cannot compensate the deleted function
Virus does not replicate
Target cancer cell compensates the
deleted viral function
Viral replication and cell death
Examples:
ONYX-15 – E1 B
HB 101 – E1B &
E3

Chicken anaemia virus derived apoptosis – inducing protein
(apoptin)
Torque teno virus derived protein TTV apoptosis inducing protein
(TAIP),
The human α-lactalbumin made lethal to tumour cells (HAMLET),
Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL),
A. PRO APOPTOTIC TARGETING :
Some viral and non viral proteins are known to induce p53
independent apoptosis in tumour cells:

B. TRANSCRIPTIONAL TARGETING
Oncolytic viruses can be rendered tumour selective by placing
essential viral gene under the regulation of tumour specific
promoter.
However, this technique is limited to DNA viruses (excluding
pox viruses).
For example : Survivin is over expressed in Squamous
carcinoma cell which makes it possible to use
therapies specifically targeting this gene.
Activity of these promoters can be further augmented by binary
regulatory system with recombinant Gal 4 fusion protein.

C. TRANSLATIONAL TARGETING :
Tumour specificity is by mutating the oncolytic virus to induce
more potent IFN response. This will minimize the replication of such
viruses in normal cells but the cancer cells will remain permissive.
Also some viruses block IFN signaling by encoding protein which
inhibits the translation of mRNA for IFN
e.g. matrix (M) protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV).
Such viruses can be rendered tumour specific by mutating the
genes encoding the protein inhibiting IFN release.
The non pathogenic VSVs can still multiply in tumour cells as
these lack ability to produce and respond to IFN.
![Page 14: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
C. TRANSLATIONAL TARGETING :
HSV-1 can be made tumour selective by mutating the γ134.5
gene .The product of this gene (ICP34.5) binds with protein
phosphatase-1 and inhibits phosphorylation of eukaryokotic
initiation factor-2 (eIF-2) by activated PKR (ds RNA induced
protein kinase).
This unphosphorylated eIF-2 cannot inhibit translation of viral
transcripts unlike its phosphorylated counterpart.
Cancer cells are resistant to the PKR activated inhibition of
viral replication due to the high level of Ras activity which
inhibits autophosphorylation of PKR. Thus mutant having
deleted γ134.5 cannot multiply in normal cells but tumour cells
remain permissive.

C. TRANSLATIONAL TARGETING :
![Page 16: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
D.TRANSDUCTIONAL TARGETING :
The fact that tumour cells display high level of tumour specific receptors
can be exploited for targeting of oncolytic viruses specifically to cancer
cells.
For instance, many cancer cells over express intra cellular adhesion
molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and decay accelerating factor (DAF), the receptors for
coxsackievirus A21(CAV21).
ICAM 1 DAF CAV 21
![Page 17: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
D.TRANSDUCTIONAL TARGETING :
Enterovirus, echovirus type 1, gains preferential entry to ovarian
cancer cells due to over expression of the I domain of integrin α2β1
![Page 18: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
D.TRANSDUCTIONAL TARGETING :
Mumps viruses use sialic acid as their
receptor and alpha viruses use heparin
sulphate or ICAM-1, all abundantly expressed
also on many normal cells, these viruses show
high cancer cell selectivity due to defective
interferon (IFN) signaling pathway in tumour
cells.
Alternatively, tumour specificity of viruses
can be reprogrammed by displaying single
chain antibodies or other polypeptide binding
ligands on the viral surface.
![Page 19: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
E . TARGETING STRATEGIES BASED ON TUMOUR MICROENVIRONMENT
To support uncontrolled growth and tissue
invasion, tumour cells develop a modified
microenvironment such as hypoxia, activation
of certain proteases and angiogenesis. This
can be harnessed for developing strategies for
tumour targeting.
![Page 20: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
A dual regulated oncolytic Ad CNHK500 was developed in
which the E1b gene is controlled by a hypoxia responsive
promoter and the E1a gene is controlled by an human
telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter.

F. Targeting tumour using carrier cells as cellular vehicle for oncolytic viruses
Cancer cell secretes a number of
chemokines which helps in trafficking of
immune cells to tumour.
These immune cells can be used as
cellular vehicle for efficient delivery of
OVs to tumour cells.
Other types of cells such as stem cells (mesenchymal, endothelial
progenitor cells) have also been developed as cellular vehicles to
deliver OVs.
The tumour carrier cells can be inactivated by gamma-irradiation after
infection with the OV.

ADENOVIRUS:
Adenovirus has emerged as one of
the most potential viral therapeutic
agent in cancer therapy.
In the late 1950s, adenoviruses were
reported to induce apoptosis in HeLa
cells.
Since then, clinical trials have begun
on different experimental models both
in vivo and in vitro.

![Page 23: Virotherapy,as a key for cancer treatment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/5550023eb4c905bc138b52c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The adenoviral genome consists of linear, dsDNA of 26-45 kb.
It is a non-enveloped, icosahedral virus with capsid of 65-80 nm
diameter
The structural elements of capsid comprise penton, hexon and
fibre proteins which play a crucial role in virus entry into the cells.

In this process, a series of viral proteins
co-operate to promote efficient replication
of the virus and its release.
These major viral proteins include E1A,
E1B-55kD, E1B-19kD, E3-11.6 kD and other
associated proteins..

REOLYSIN
REOLYSIN® is a proprietary variant of the reovirus, an acronym for
Respiratory Enteric Orphan Virus, which is widely found in the
environment.
. It was found that the reovirus was able to infect and selectively
destroy cancer cells.
When a normal cell is infected with the reovirus, an antiviral response
is activated, which prevents the virus from replicating within the cell.
However, inside a cancer cell with one or more mutations on a growth
pathway called the Ras pathway, there is an aberrant antiviral response
that is unable to prevent the virus from replicating.
This abnormality allows the reovirus to multiply to an extent that is
fatal to the cancer cell.
