| Research Abstract |
Our new oncolytic adenovirus, in which adenoviral replication and HSV-TK suicide gene expression was transcriptional regulated by tumor-specific midkine promoter, achieved:1) tumor-specific lytic spread of the virus, 2) anti-tumor effect in subcutaneous, intrathoracic, and intraperitoneal mesothelioma mouse models, and 3) enhanced anti-tumor effect by suicide gene activation. The midkine-promoter regulated oncolytic virus represents a promising general strategy for oncolytic virotherapy of cancers withupregulated midkine expression, including malignant mesothelioma.
