The tumor suppressive effect and apoptotic mechanism of TRAIL gene-containing recombinant NDV in TRAIL-resistant colorectal cancer HT-29 cells and TRAIL-nonresistant HCT116 cells, with each cell bearing a mouse model.

ABSTRACT:

Background

TRAIL is an anticancer drug that induces cancer cell apoptosis by interacting with death receptors (DRs). However, owing to low cell-surface expression of DRs, certain colorectal cancer (CRC) cells resist TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection can elevate DR protein expression in cancer cells, potentially influencing their TRAIL sensitivity. However, the precise mechanism by which NDV infection modulates DR expression and impacts TRAIL sensitivity in cancer cells remains unknown.

Methods

Herein, we developed nonpathogenic NDV VG/GA strain-based recombinant NDV (rNDV) and TRAIL gene-containing rNDV (rNDV-TRAIL). We observed that viral infections lead to increased DR and TRAIL expressions and activate signaling proteins involved in intrinsi
