| Abstract | BACKGROUND: With the exception of Burkitt lymphoma, almost all solid cancers are susceptible to infection with poliovirus, due to widespread ectopic expression of the poliovirus receptor, the onco-fetal cell adhesion molecule Necl5/CD155. We engineered a profoundly CNS-incompetent and genetically stable variant of polio through recombination of the cognate internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) with its counterpart from human rhinovirus type 2. The resulting PVSRIPO chimera is incapable of causing poliomyelitis or encephalitis in non-human primates or human subjects, even after high-dose intracerebral inoculation, but retains excellent cytotoxic properties in malignant cells. This is due to constitutively active signal transduction pathways via Raf-Erk MAPKs to the MAPK-interacting kinase, Mnk, and the translation apparatus. METHODS: Raf-Erk-Mnk signals favor translation of mRNAs with highly structured, encumbered 5' untranslated regions, typical for mRNAs encoding potent biological response modifiers, survival factors, growth factors or oncogenes. They afford an enormous advantage to PVSRIPO translation, causing irreversible lethal cytotoxicity as early as 60 min after infection. PVSRIPO infection of GBM produces drastic, violent cytotoxicity and a wide range of pro-inflammatory and immunogenic host responses. These are due to virally-induced ‘immunogenic cell death’, forceful activation of innate antiviral type 1 interferon responses, non-lethal infection and pro-inflammatory stimulation of tumor-associated macrophages/dendritic cells and stimulation of cytotoxic T-cell responses directed against the tumor. RESULTS: A currently accruing Phase-1 clinical trial of PVSRIPO with intratumoral, CED-mediated infusion in recurrent GBM is showing promise with the first patients experiencing durable complete clinical and near-complete radiographic responses >20 months post PVSRIPO infusion. The key to PVSRIPO oncolytic immunotherapy is the early acute phase of viral cytotoxicity after intratumoral infusion. Unhinged translation control, enabling unfettered viral, IRES-mediated initiation, is independent of the notorious intratumoral and inter-individual heterogeneity of advanced, treatment-refractory cancers. To define the molecular mechanism of PVSRIPO-mediated immunogenic cell death, we unraveled a signaling network centered on Raf-Erk-Mnk signals and their control over the Ser-Arg-rich protein kinase. CONCLUSIONS: Provided a solid mechanistic rationale exists for their use, oncolytic viruses such as PVSRIPO may induce tumor-cytotoxic, immune-modulatory and immune-stimulatory effects with an extent and biological range that are difficult to achieve with any other type of anti-cancer agent. SECONDARY CATEGORY: Preclinical Experimental Therapeutics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
