Activated Ras Signaling Pathways and Reovirus Oncolysis: An Update on the Mechanism of Preferential Reovirus Replication in Cancer Cells

Frontiers in Oncology, 2014
The development of wild-type, unmodified Type 3 Dearing (T3D) strain reovirus as an anticancer agent has currently expanded to 32 clinical trials (both completed and ongoing) involving reovirus in the treatment of cancer.

Reovirus: Friend and Foe [PDF]

Current Clinical Microbiology Reports, 2019
Mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus) is a powerful tool for studying viral replication and pathogenesis. Most reovirus infections are subclinical, however recent work has catapulted reovirus into the clinical spotlight.Owing to its capacity to kill cancer cells more efficiently than normal cells, reovirus is under development as a therapeutic for a ...

Potential for Improving Potency and Specificity of Reovirus Oncolysis with Next-Generation Reovirus Variants

Viruses, 2015
Viruses that specifically replicate in tumor over normal cells offer promising cancer therapies. Oncolytic viruses (OV) not only kill the tumor cells directly; they also promote anti-tumor immunotherapeutic responses.

Paired immunoglobulin-like receptor B is an entry receptor for mammalian orthoreovirus

Nature Communications, 2023
Mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus) infects most mammals and is associated with celiac disease in humans. In mice, reovirus infects the intestine and disseminates systemically to cause serotype-specific patterns of disease in the brain.

Preinduced reovirus-specific T-cell immunity enhances the anticancer efficacy of reovirus therapy

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2022
Background Many solid tumors do not respond to immunotherapy due to their immunologically cold tumor microenvironment (TME). We and others found that oncolytic viruses (OVs), including reovirus type 3 Dearing, can enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy by

Activation of p53 by chemotherapeutic agents enhances reovirus oncolysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mammalian reovirus is a benign virus that possesses the natural ability to preferentially infect and kill cancer cells (reovirus oncolysis). Reovirus exploits aberrant Ras signalling in many human cancers to promote its own replication and spread.

Oncolytic reovirus in canine mast cell tumor. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The usage of reovirus has reached phase II and III clinical trials in human cancers. However, this is the first study to report the oncolytic effects of reovirus in veterinary oncology, focusing on canine mast cell tumor (MCT), the most common cutaneous ...

Reovirus infection of tumor cells reduces the expression of NKG2D ligands, leading to impaired NK-cell cytotoxicity and functionality

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
In recent years, reoviruses have been of major interest in immunotherapy because of their oncolytic properties. Preclinical and clinical trials, in which reovirus was used for the treatment of melanoma and glioblastoma, have paved the way for future ...

Reovirus Low-Density Particles Package Cellular RNA

Viruses, 2021
Packaging of segmented, double-stranded RNA viral genomes requires coordination of viral proteins and RNA segments. For mammalian orthoreovirus (reovirus), evidence suggests either all ten or zero viral RNA segments are simultaneously packaged in a ...
