Enhanced antitumor efficacy of an oncolytic adenovirus armed with an EGFR-targeted BiTE using menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells as carriers.

Abstract:

:Poor tumor targeting of oncolytic adenoviruses (OAdv) after systemic administration is considered a major limitation for virotherapy of disseminated cancers. The benefit of using mesenchymal stem cells as cell carriers for OAdv tumor targeting is currently evaluated not only in preclinical models but also in clinical trials. In this context, we have previously demonstrated the enhanced antitumor efficacy of OAdv-loaded menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs). However, although significant, the antitumor efficacy obtained was modest, and we hypothesized that a greater antitumor efficacy could be obtained arming the OAdv with a therapeutic transgene. Here we show that combining MenSCs with ICOVIR15-cBiTE, an OAdv expressing an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeting bispecific T-cell engager (cBiTE), enhances the antitumor efficacy compared to MenSCs loaded with the unarmed virus ICOVIR15. We found that MenSCs properly produce cBiTE after viral infection leading to a greater antitumor potency both in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate the mutual benefit of combining MenSCs and armed OAdv and support the combination of ICOVIR15-cBiTE and MenSCs as a cancer treatment.
