| Research Abstract |
Bone and soft tissue sarcoma cells treated by telomerase-specific oncolytic adenovirus showed a dose- and time-dependent viral replication and cytolysis, which were positively associated with the expression levels of coxackie-adenoviral receptor and hTERT. Oncolytic adenoviral infection also induced both apototic and autophagic cell death in these cells, and also showed inhibition of tumor growth in osteosarcoma xenograft mouse model.
