We studied the susceptibility of primary ovarian cancer cells to oncolytic adenoviruses. Using gene expression profiling of cancer cells either resistant or susceptible to viral oncolysis, we discovered that the epithelial phenotype of ovarian cancer represents a barrier to infection by commonly used oncolytic adenoviruses targeted to coxsackie-adenovirus receptor or CD46. Specifically, we found that these adenovirus receptors were trapped in tight junctions and not accessible for virus binding. ...[more]
