A bright side of Zika: potent and selective oncolytic properties against aggressive human CNS embryonal tumors

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is largely known for causing brain abnormalities due to its ability to infect neural progenitor stem cells (NPC) during early development. Here we show that ZIKV is also capable of infecting and destroying stem-like cancer cells from aggressive human embryonal tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). When evaluating the oncolytic properties of Brazilian Zika virus strain (ZIKVBR) against human breast, prostate, colorectal and embryonal CNS tumor cell lines, a selective infection of CNS tumor cells, followed by a massive necrotic tumor cell death, was verified. Notably, ZIKVBR was more efficient in destroying CNS tumorspheres than normal stem cell neurospheres. A single intracerebroventricular injection of ZIKVBR in BALB/c nude mice bearing orthotopic human embryonal CNS tumor xenografts resulted in a significantly longer survival, reduced tumor burden, fewer metastasis and complete remission in some animals. Tumor cells closely resembling neural stem cells at the molecular level were more susceptible to ZIKVBR oncolytic effects. Altogether, these preclinical findings indicate that ZIKV could be an efficient oncolytic agent to treat aggressive forms of embryonal CNS tumors. Considering the poor effectiveness and severe side effects of available treatments for these tumors and that most ZIKV infections are asymptomatic, our findings open new avenues for novel therapies.

Zika Virus Has Oncolytic Activity against Glioblastoma Stem Cells

Project description:We explored the utility of oncolytic virus therapy against glioblastoma with Zika virus (ZIKV), a flavivirus that induces cell death and differentiation of neural precursor cells in the developing fetus. ZIKV preferentially infected and killed glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) relative to differentiated tumor progeny or normal neuronal cells. The effects against GSCs were not a general property of neurotropic flaviviruses, as West Nile Virus (WNV) indiscriminately killed both tumor and normal neural cells. ZIKV potently depleted patient-derived GSCs grown in culture and in organoids. Moreover, mice with glioblastoma survived substantially longer and at greater rates when the tumor was inoculated with a murine adapted strain of ZIKV. Our results suggest that ZIKV is an oncolytic virus that can preferentially target GSCs, and thus, genetically modified strains that further optimize safety could have therapeutic efficacy for adult glioblastoma patients.

Expression data from human pancreatic cells PANC-1 infected with oncolytic vaccinia virus GLV-1h153

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is a fatal disease associated with resistance to conventional therapies. GLV-1h153 is an oncolytic virus which has shown promise for the targeted treatment of cancer, and is engineered to carry the human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) for the imaging of viral replication within tumors via enhanced uptake of several radionuclide probes. We used microarrays to determine changes in gene expression patterns over time associated with infection and susceptibility of pancreatic cancer cells to GLV-1h153. Understanding into the molecular mechanisms associated with PANC-1 sensitivity to GLV-1h153 may enable identification of cancers resistant to viral therapy, avoid undesirable side effects associated with the need for higher doses of viral treatment, and development of safer and more efficacious oncolytic virotherapies. PANC-1 cells were infected with GLV-1h153. Zero (T0), 6 (T6) and 24 (T24) hours after infection, 3 samples of each time point were harvested and gene expression patterns assessed using HG-U133A cDNA microarray chips as compared to uninfected control (T0).
