MAP3K7 and CHD1 Are Novel Mediators of Resistance to Oncolytic Vesicular Stomatitis Virus in Prostate Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: A key principle of oncolytic viral therapy is that many cancers develop defects in their antiviral responses, making them more susceptible to virus infection. However, some cancers display resistance to viral infection. Many of these resistant cancers constitutively express interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). The goal of these experiments was to determine the role of two tumor suppressor genes, MAP3K7 and CHD1, in viral resistance and ISG expression in PC3 prostate cancer cells resistant to oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). MAP3K7 and CHD1 are often co-deleted in aggressive prostate cancers. Silencing expression of MAP3K7 and CHD1 in PC3 cells increased susceptibility to the matrix (M) gene mutant M51R-VSV, as shown by increased expression of viral genes, increased yield of progeny virus, and reduction of tumor growth in nude mice. Silencing MAP3K7 alone had a greater effect on virus susceptibility than did silencing CHD1. Silencing MAP3K7 and CHD1 decreased constitutive expression of ISG mRNAs and proteins, whereas silencing MAP3K7 alone decreased expression of ISG proteins, but actually increased expression of ISG mRNAs. These results suggest a role for the protein product of MAP3K7, transforming growth factor ?-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), in regulating translation of ISG mRNAs and a role of CHD1 in maintaining the transcription of ISGs.

Project description:UnlabelledA major challenge to oncolytic virus therapy is that individual cancers vary in their sensitivity to oncolytic viruses, even when these cancers arise from the same tissue type. Variability in response may arise due to differences in the initial genetic lesions leading to cancer development. Alternatively, susceptibility to viral oncolysis may change during cancer progression. These hypotheses were tested using cells from a transgenic mouse model of prostate cancer infected with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Primary cultures from murine cancers derived from prostate-specific Pten deletion contained a mixture of cells that were susceptible and resistant to VSV. Castration-resistant cancers contained a higher percentage of susceptible cells than cancers from noncastrated mice. These results indicate both susceptible and resistant cells can evolve within the same tumor. The role of Pten deletion was further investigated using clonal populations of murine prostate epithelial (MPE) progenitor cells and tumor-derived Pten(-/-) cells. Deletion of Pten in MPE progenitor cells using a lentivirus vector resulted in cells that responded poorly to interferon and were susceptible to VSV infection. In contrast, tumor-derived Pten(-/-) cells expressed higher levels of the antiviral transcription factor STAT1, activated STAT1 in response to VSV, and were resistant to VSV infection. These results suggest that early in tumor development following Pten deletion, cells are primarily sensitive to VSV, but subsequent evolution in tumors leads to development of cells that are resistant to VSV infection. Further evolution in castration-resistant tumors leads to tumors in which cells are primarily sensitive to VSV.ImportanceThere has been a great deal of progress in the development of replication-competent viruses that kill cancer cells (oncolytic viruses). However, a major problem is that individual cancers vary in their sensitivity to oncolytic viruses, even when these cancers arise from the same tissue type. The experiments presented here were to determine whether both sensitive and resistant cells are present in prostate cancers originating from a single genetic lesion in transgenic mice, prostate-specific deletion of the gene for the tumor suppressor Pten. The results indicate that murine prostate cancers are composed of both cells that are sensitive and cells that are resistant to oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV). Furthermore, androgen deprivation led to castration-resistant prostate cancers that were composed primarily of cells that were sensitive to VSV. These results are encouraging for the use of VSV for the treatment of prostate cancers that are resistant to androgen deprivation therapy.
