Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are an important target for cancer therapy. I this study, we examined whether oncolytic reovirus mediated cytotoxic effects on mouse CAF. We demonstrated that reovirus induced apoptosis of mouse CAF. In addition, reovirus-mediated apoptosis of mouse tumor cells and CAF resulted in improvement of tumor accumulation of nanoparticle formulations following subsequent administration. Reovirus induced down-regulation of hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) in the tumor following administration, resulting in malignant transformation of tumors.
