Doxorubicin hydrochloride enhanced antitumour effect of CEA-regulated oncolytic virotherapy in live cancer cells and a mouse model.

ABSTRACT: Oncolytic adenovirus (OA) has attracted increasing attention due to their specific proliferation in tumour cells and resulting in lysis of tumour cells. To further improve the antitumour effect of OA, in this study, we combined CD55-TRAIL-IETD-MnSOD (CD55-TMn), a CEA-controlled OA constructed previously, and chemotherapy to investigate their synergistic effect and possible mechanisms. MTT assay was performed to detect antitumour effects. Hoechst 33 342 and flow cytometric analysis were used to examine cell apoptosis. Western blotting was performed to examine cell pyroptosis and apoptosis mechanism. Animal experiment was used to detect antitumour effect of doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox) combined with CD55-TMn in vivo. We firstly found that Dox promotes gene expression mediated by CEA-regul
