BackgroundThe full realization of the therapeutic potential of conditionally replicative adenoviruses (CRAds) in the field of pancreatic cancer has been hindered by limited tumor transduction and suboptimal replication control.MethodsWe optimized infectivity enhancements and tumor-specific promoters (tsps) for pancreatic cancer. Infectivity was enhanced both by incorporating an RGD motif and by substituting the knob region with Ad serotype 3 knob (Ad5/Ad3). An optimized CRAd was tested in an orthotopic pancreatic cancer model by systemic administration.ResultsAmong a panel of 8 tsps, the 1.5-kb cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2L) promoter profile was most advantageous in the pancreatic cancer cell lines, whereas 4 more promoters were also promising. An infectivity-enhanced Ad5/Ad3 CRAd controlled with Cox-2L promoter was found to safely exhibit replication within a tumor in this model and was found to suppress tumor growth after systemic delivery.ConclusionsThe infectivity-enhanced, promoter-controlled CRAd promises useful clinical applications for pancreatic cancer gene therapy.
