Abstract
Oncolytic viral therapy for neuroblastoma (NB) cells with Sindbis virus (SINV) is a promising strategy for treating high-risk NB. Here, we evaluated the possibility of using SINV structural proteins as therapeutic agents for NB since UV-inactivated SINV could induce cytopathogenic effects. The cytotoxicity of UV-inactivated SINV toward human NB cell lines NB69, NGP, GOTO, NLF, SK-N-SH, SH-SY5Y, CHP134, NB-1, IMR32, and RT-BM-1 were analyzed. Apoptosis was confirmed by TUNEL assays. To determine the components of SINV responsible for the cytotoxicity of UV-inactivated SINV, expression vectors encoding the structural proteins, namely capsid, E2, and E1, were transfected in NB cells. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assays. UV-inactivated SINV elicited more significant cytotoxicity in NB69, NGP, and RT-BM-1 than in normal human fibroblasts. Results of the transfection experiments showed that all NB cell lines susceptible to UV-inactivated SINV were highly susceptible to the E1 protein, whereas fibroblasts transfected with vectors harboring capsid, E1, or E2 were not. We demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of the UV-inactivated SINV is due to apoptosis induced by the E1 structural protein of SINV, which can be used selectively as a...Continue Reading
