Definitions
- the present invention relates to recombinant oncolytic virus and its medicinal use.
- Oncolytic viruses rely on their own specificity to replicate in tumor cells to lyse tumor cells, and the viruses or toxins released after cell lysis can further infect surrounding tumor cells without damaging or affecting normal cells and tissues. smaller.
- Oncolytic viruses are generally divided into two categories: one is a wild-type virus and a naturally mutated attenuated virus strain, which naturally has an affinity for some tumor cells, such as reovirus, Newcastle disease virus, and self-replicating small viruses. Viruses, etc., these viruses can reproduce and lyse cells in some tumor cells, and have natural specific oncolytic activity; the other is viruses that can only replicate in tumor cells after the virus genome is modified.
- adenovirus is a relatively early oncolytic virus, and the oncolytic mechanism is relatively clear, and adenovirus type 5 is more clearly studied.
- Adenovirus was used to treat head and neck malignant tumors soon after its discovery. The tumor was shrunk to varying degrees after adenovirus injection, but the tumor was easy to recur after treatment, and the effect was difficult to last; it was not until 1996 that Bischoff et al. Recombinant adenovirus Onyx-015 can selectively replicate in tumor cells with abnormal p53 and cause tumor killing.
- Oncolytic adenovirus research has received widespread attention again and has developed rapidly. Therefore, many new types of oncolytic adenovirus have emerged. Characteristic has been committed to the development and marketing of oncolytic viruses into therapeutic drugs.
- Adenovirus H101 (Ankerui) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which has been marketed in China, and Imlygic (talimogene laherparepvec), a herpes simplex virus for melanoma approved by the US FDA for marketing, etc.
- Imlygic titaniumimogene laherparepvec
- a herpes simplex virus for melanoma approved by the US FDA for marketing, etc.
- there are multiple clinical trials of oncolytic virus therapy in progress as shown in the table in Figure 8.
- the oncolytic virus As a foreign body of the immune system, will be discovered by the immune system and eliminated or eliminated after entering the solid tumor tissue. Therefore, the oncolytic virus has a limited time to act in the body. Or a larger amount is administered by injection at the tumor site.
- oncolytic viruses For blood cancers, since T lymphocytes or B lymphocytes are in the circulating blood system, oncolytic viruses must circulate in the blood system before they can take effect. However, as foreign bodies in the immune system, oncolytic viruses are bound to be attacked by the immune system. Therefore, its action time is necessarily shorter than that of solid tumors. Because of this, there is no oncolytic virus for the treatment of blood cancer on the market, and there is no related clinical research and development project.
- one of the current strategies for using oncolytic viruses to treat tumors is to genetically modify the oncolytic viruses to carry genes of therapeutic significance, and to introduce such genes into specific tumor cells. expression of related proteins.
- the tumor suppressor properties of the expressed protein or antibody are used to treat tumors in combination.
- a key factor in the design of oncolytic virus constructs is to consider the expression time of the transfected gene and the rupture time due to viral replication.
- the inventor envisages that the targeted protein can be highly expressed before the tumor ruptures caused by virus replication by using early promoter gene transcription, and then administering the targeted protein or enzyme-activated chemotherapeutic drugs, so that the chemotherapeutic drugs can enter the oncolytic virus after infection. Under the activation of highly expressed targeting proteins or enzymes, it exerts its medicinal effect and releases cytotoxins to directly kill cancer cells. In this way, cancer cells are infected by oncolytic viruses integrated with specific targeting protein genes, and then the targeting proteins are administered.
- oncolytic viruses only need to infect cancer cells without eventually lysing cancer cells to kill cancer cells under the action of targeted proteins or enzyme-activated chemotherapy drugs, so the administration of oncolytic viruses The amount can be greatly reduced, and the impact on the human immune system is also smaller.
- the final result is that the combination or compound of an oncolytic virus with a specific targeted protein gene and a targeted protein or enzyme-activated chemotherapeutic drug can greatly improve the immune system. Anticancer effects of oncolytic viruses.
- Chemotherapy drugs have a long history and their efficacy has been verified for a long time, but they have the disadvantage of large side effects. It is an important direction to reduce toxic and side effects by redesigning chemotherapeutic drugs as prodrugs.
- the prodrugs obtained by the structural modification of chemotherapeutic drugs are a kind of compounds which have little or no activity in vitro, and release active substances through enzymatic or non-enzymatic action in vivo to exert pharmacological effects. In most cases, prodrugs are simple chemical derivatives that can be converted to the active parent drug in one or two steps of chemical or enzymatic catalysis.
- chemotherapeutic drugs targeting protein or enzyme activation include macromolecular antitumor prodrugs targeting enzyme activation and small molecule antitumor prodrugs targeting enzyme activation.
- Macromolecular antitumor prodrugs targeting enzyme activation in ADEPT (Antibody-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy), the administered enzyme antibody and antigen present on the surface of target cells. Subsequently, a prodrug activated by this enzyme is administered, resulting in the formation of a toxic drug. In most cases, toxic drugs must penetrate the cell membrane to kill the cell.
- the drug can cause cell death without penetrating cell membranes (eg, the anemone toxin palytoxin) (Rooseboom M, Commandeur J N M, Vermeulen N P E. Enzyme-Catalyzed Activation of Anticancer Prodrugs[J].Pharmacological Reviews, 2004, 56(1):53-102, DOI: 10.1 124/pr.56.1.3).
- penetrating cell membranes eg, the anemone toxin palytoxin
- Small molecule anti-tumor prodrugs activated by targeting enzymes which can be combined with exogenous enzymes introduced into tumor sites or enzymes expressed in tumor cells (GDEPT and VDEPT, Gene-Directed Enzyme Prodrug Therapy and Virus directed enzyme prodrug therapy) namely Targeted enzymatic interactions for translation into cytotoxic drugs.
- Small molecule antitumor prodrugs activated by targeting enzymes can improve the targeting of antitumor drugs, and the expression of targeting enzyme genes integrated in oncolytic viruses can enable cancer cells to express higher levels of targeting enzymes that can activate prodrugs , so as to better exert the anti-tumor effect of small molecule anti-tumor prodrugs activated by targeting enzymes and reduce the toxic and side effects.
- prodrugs that are activated by specific enzymes. These enzymes include endogenous enzymes as well as exogenous enzymes.
- Endogenous enzymes include oxidoreductases, transferases, transferases, hydrolases, and lyases.

- Hacat cells are human immortalized epidermal cells, a non-tumor derived human normal skin immortalized keratinocyte cell line, as experimental control cells.
- HepG2 cells are human hepatoma cells, derived from a 15-year-old white man's liver cancer tissue, the cells secrete a variety of plasma proteins: albumin, ⁇ 2-macroglobulin, plasminogen, transferrin and so on.
- the OVAD-hAKR1C3-3Flag-OE oncolytic virus carries the hTERT promoter (human telomere reverse transcriptase), it can be greatly amplified in tumor cells with high expression of this protein, but in non-tumor cells with low expression of hTERT protein Can't be copied in bulk. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment is to detect whether the constructed oncolytic virus can replicate in tumor cells in large quantities and lead to the overexpression of the target protein hAKR1C3. At the same time, in non-tumor cells, because the oncolytic virus cannot replicate, the target protein hAKR1C3 is underexpressed.
- hTERT promoter human telomere reverse transcriptase
- Part 3 Verification that for cancer cells or tumors with low expression of AKR1C3 (hAKR1C3) enzyme, the combination of recombinant oncolytic adenovirus with hAKR1C3 gene and AKR1C3 enzyme-activated anticancer drug AST-3424 can improve AST-3424 or oncolysis The effect of virus alone in inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells or tumors
- nitroreductase-activating prodrug PR-104 was used in combination with the oncolytic virus ONYX-411 NTR with the nitroreductase gene fragment inserted, and the combined effect was better than that of PR-104 and ONYX- 411.
- the anti-cancer prodrug activated by a specific enzyme protein is used in combination with the oncolytic virus, and its anti-tumor effect is stronger than that alone.
- Anticancer prodrugs activated by oncolytic viruses and individual specific enzymatic proteins are used in combination with the oncolytic virus, and its anti-tumor effect is stronger than that alone.
- the AKR1C3 gene is inserted into the oncolytic virus, and the oncolytic virus can express the AKR1C3 protein after infecting the tumor cell HepG2, so those skilled in the art can predict the anticancer prodrug AST-
- the combination of 3424 and the oncolytic virus inserted with the AKR1C3 gene has a stronger antitumor effect than the oncolytic virus alone and the anticancer prodrug AST-3424 activated by the AKR1C3 enzyme alone;
- the oncolytic virus inserted with the AKR1C3 gene is administered first, and then the prodrug AST-3424 activated by the AKR1C3 enzyme is administered, which will have a better therapeutic effect.
