Oncolytic Adenovirus rAd.DCN Inhibits Breast Tumor Growth and Lung Metastasis in an Immune-Competent Orthotopic Xenograft Model

Human Gene Therapy

Abstract

The majority of advanced breast cancer patients develop distal metastasis, including lung and bone metastasis. However, effective therapeutic strategies to prevent metastasis are still lacking. Decorin is a natural inhibitor of transforming growth factor β, which plays a pivotal role in tumor metastasis. An oncolytic adenovirus expressing decorin, rAd.DCN, has been developed previously. In an immune-competent breast tumor (4T1) model, intratumoral (i.t.) as well as intravenous (i.v.) delivery of rAd.DCN inhibited growth of orthotopic tumors and spontaneous lung metastasis. It was shown that i.t. delivery of rAd.DCN produced higher levels of transgene expression and evoked stronger oncolysis of the tumors compared to i.v. delivery. However, i.v. delivery resulted in higher amount of virus accumulation in the lungs and produced stronger responses to prevent tumor lung metastasis. Oncolytic adenovirus-mediated decorin expression in the tumors downregulated the decorin target genes and decreased epithelial mesenchymal transition markers. Decorin expression in lung tissues also increased Th1 cytokine expression, such as interleukin (IL)-2, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor α, and decreased Th2 cytokines, such as transforming growth f...Continue Reading

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

Breast Invasive Carcinoma (Keystone)

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Arterial-Venous in Development & Disease

Arterial-venous development may play a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Here is the latest research.

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Breast Tumorigenesis

Breast tumorigenesis involves the production or formation of tumor(s) in breast tissue. Discover the latest research on breast tumorigenesis here.
