Herpes Simplex Virus Oncolytic Immunovirotherapy: The Blossoming Branch of Multimodal Therapy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Oncolytic viruses are smart therapeutics against cancer due to their potential to replicate and produce the needed therapeutic dose in the tumor, and to their ability to self-exhaust upon tumor clearance. Oncolytic virotherapy strategies based on the herpes simplex virus are reaching their thirties, and a wide variety of approaches has been envisioned ...

Herpes simplex virus oncolytic vaccine therapy in melanoma

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2010
Advanced melanoma is a devastating disease with a five year survival for Stage IV disease of 10 - 20% and a median survival of 6 - 18 months depending on sub-stage. Current FDA approved therapies demonstrate limited response rates, few complete remissions and no proven survival benefit. New therapies are clearly needed. JSI/34.5-/47-/GM-CSF is a herpes

Rethinking herpes simplex virus: the way to oncolytic agents

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2011
SUMMARYOncolytic viruses infect, replicate in and kill cancer cells. HSV has emerged as a most promising candidate because it exerts a generally moderate pathogenicity in humans; it is amenable to attenuation and tropism retargeting; the ample genome provides space for heterologous genes; specific antiviral therapy is available in a worst case scenario.

Characterization of an Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Drug Candidate

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015
The structural integrity and conformational stability of a genetically modified live, oncolytic herpes simplex virus (o-HSV) were investigated across a wide pH (5.5-8.0) and temperature (10°C-87.5°C) range. A combination of circular dichroism, intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence, and static light scattering results was visualized using an empirical ...

Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Engineering and Preparation

2011
Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) is an enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus that has been used with modification as an oncolytic virus against a number of tumor types. Modifications that make HSV-1 replication--conditional, i.e., selectively divide in replicating cells make it fulfill a prerequisite criteria for oncolytic viruses.

Construction of Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus with Therapeutic Genes of Interest

2019
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is one of the most extensively studied oncolytic virus platforms. The recent FDA approval of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) has been accelerating translational research of oncolytic HSV (oHSV) as a promising therapeutic for refractory cancers such as glioblastoma, the deadliest primary malignancy in the brain.

Preclinical Safety Evaluation of Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2

Human Gene Therapy, 2019
Oncolytic virotherapy is a new and safe therapeutic strategy based on the inherent cytotoxicity of oncolytic viruses and their ability to replicate and spread within tumors in a selective manner. In a previous study, a new type of oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 2 (oHSV-2, named OH2) was constructed to treat human cancers.

Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus Vectors Fully Retargeted to Tumor- Associated Antigens

Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2018
Oncolytic virotherapy is a novel therapeutic modality for malignant diseases that exploits selective viral replication in cancer cells. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a promising agent for oncolytic virotherapy due to its broad cell tropism and the identification of mutations that favor its replication in tumor over normal cells.

Oncolytic virus therapy using genetically engineered herpes simplex viruses

Frontiers in Bioscience, 2002
Genetically engineered, conditionally replicating herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) are promising therapeutic agents for cancer. They can replicate in situ, spread, and exhibit oncolytic activity via a direct cytocidal effect. In addition, oncolytic HSV-1 can transfer and express foreign genes in host cells.
