Research Abstract |
We investigated the chemosensitizing effect of a telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus, OBP-301, in human osteosarcoma cells. OBP-301 infection enhanced the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapy and increased chemotherapy-mediated apoptosis through downregulation of Mcl-1 expression. Combination therapy significantly suppressed tumor growth in a subcutaneous xenograft model. These results suggest that combination therapy provides a novel therapeutic strategy for human osteosarcomas.
