Photodynamic therapy augments the efficacy of oncolytic vaccinia virus against primary and metastatic tumours in mice

Abstract: Background:Therapies targeted towards the tumour vasculature can be exploited for the purpose of improving the systemic delivery of oncolytic viruses to tumours. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a clinically approved treatment for cancer that is known to induce potent effects on tumour vasculature. In this study, we examined the activity of PDT in combination with oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV) against primary and metastatic tumours in mice.Methods:The effect of 2-[1-hexyloxyethyl-]-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-a (… Show more

“…Tumor progression was monitored by bioluminescence imaging. For experiments in CAOV2-challenged SCID mice, animals were treated with a lower titer of the virus (2.5 × 10 7 PFU) and vaccinia virus-specific antibodies (100 μg of antibodies with neutralizing titer of 1 : 100) were delivered 7 days after viral challenge to inhibit spreading infection as described (47). Control mice received PBS or UV-inactivated virus.…”

“…First, low-dose vascular PDT can be used to transiently enhance blood vessel permeability, enabling an increased delivery of macromolecular and nanoparticle drug payloads to the tumor 49–51 . Although this phenomenon has been known for over a decade, more recently it has been termed “super-enhanced permeability and retention (SUPR)”, in reference to further boosting the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect well known in tumor biology 52 .…”

“…An early demonstration of this concept by Henderson’s group showed dramatic enhancements in the delivery of fluorescent microspheres (0.1–2 µm) and of a liposome-encapsulated formulation of doxorubicin (Doxil) to subcutaneous tumors 49 . This strategy has also been applied to enhance oncolytic virus accumulation in subcutaneous tumor models 51 .…”

“…The changes in tumor vasculature after treatments with the armed and OVV-EGFP viruses were also reflected in tumor perfusion visualized by accumulation of fluorescence beads (39). Fluorescence microscopy of tumor sections revealed a relatively uniform distribution of fluorescence beads in the periphery and core of control tumors (Fig.…”
