Research Abstract |
Tumor-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus is a promising antitumor agent. However, the mechanism on the virus-mediated cell death remains unclear. Here we show that telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenovirus Telomelysin induces autophagic cell death through microRNA-mediated gene regulatory network.
