Project Summary/Abstract Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and worldwide. Appropriate activation of the immune system and effective targeting of tumor cells are the primary hurdles to be overcome for successful cancer immunotherapy. Microbes-based therapy was extensively studied recently to fill the critical unmet needs of cancer patients, where the current treatment options have been exhausted. We have developed genetically engineered Salmonella (GMS), which can actively search for cancer cells, induce tumor regression, prolong survival time, and inhibit cancer metastasis in multiple mouse models. They can also eradicate themselves from the host after treatment. Interestingly, Salmonella also processes multiple natural killer (NK) cell stimulators. On the other hand, oncolytic viruses are new cancer immunotherapeutics and have been approved to use in the clinic. Oncolytic Myxoma virus (MYXV) has been tested in multiple preclinical cancer models and has demonstrated immune stimulating properties for cancer treatment. MYXV was able to bring CD45+ leukocytes to the tumor bed. In addition, these large DNA viruses can be armed to express additional immune activating molecules. In this study, we propose to explore a novel cancer treatment approach that combines the targeted cancer cell killing ability of bacteria and immune stimulating abilities of both oncolytic bacteria and viruses. Apart from the direct killing of cancer cells, improved GMS will stimulate NK cells and MYXV will recruit other tumor-infiltrating leukocytes to activate the anti-tumor immune responses. In addition, we will explore the transgene expressing armed MYXVs that will express cytokines and chemokines to recruit more specific tumor-infiltrating leukocytes. The success of our efforts would turn microbes to appropriate onsite attractors and activators of the immune system for effective cancer therapy to be successful and applicable across a wide range of tumor types.

项目摘要/摘要 癌症是美国和全球死亡的主要原因之一。适当激活 免疫系统和有效靶向肿瘤细胞是成功克服的主要障碍 癌症免疫疗法。最近对基于微生物的治疗进行了广泛的研究，以填补关键的未满足 癌症患者的需求，目前的治疗选择已经用尽。我们已经发展了 基因工程沙门氏菌（GMS），可以主动寻找癌细胞，诱导肿瘤消退， 延长生存时间，并抑制多种小鼠模型中的癌症转移。他们也可以根除 在治疗后您自己从宿主那里。有趣的是，沙门氏菌还处理多个自然杀手（NK） 细胞刺激剂。另一方面，溶瘤病毒是新的癌症免疫治疗药，已经 批准在诊所使用。溶瘤粘液瘤病毒（MyXV）已在多种临床前癌症中进行了测试 模型并显示出用于癌症治疗的免疫刺激特性。 myxv能够带来 CD45+白细胞到肿瘤床。此外，这些大型DNA病毒可以武装以表达额外 免疫激活分子。在这项研究中，我们建议探索一种新颖的癌症治疗方法 结合了细菌的靶向癌细胞杀伤能力和两种溶瘤的免疫刺激能力 细菌和病毒。除了直接杀死癌细胞外，改善的GMS还将刺激NK细胞和 MYXV将募集其他肿瘤浸润的白细胞以激活抗肿瘤免疫反应。此外， 我们将探索将表达细胞因子和趋化因子以募集的转基因表达的武装myxvs 更具体的肿瘤浸润白细胞。我们努力的成功将使微生物成为适当的现场 有效癌症治疗的免疫系统的吸引子和激活剂成功且适用 跨多种肿瘤类型。
