Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway enhances cancer cell oncolysis mediated by M1 virus.
Nature Communications 2018 April 19
Oncolytic virus is an attractive anticancer agent that selectively lyses cancer through targeting cancer cells rather than normal cells. Although M1 virus is effective against several cancer types, certain cancer cells present low sensitivity to it. Here we identified that most of the components in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway are downregulated after M1 virus infection. Further functional studies illustrate that mevalonate/protein farnesylation/ras homolog family member Q (RHOQ) axis inhibits M1 virus replication. Further transcriptome analysis shows that RHOQ knockdown obviously suppresses Rab GTPase and ATP-mediated membrane transporter system, which may mediate the antiviral effect of RHOQ. Based on this, inhibition of the above pathway significantly enhances the anticancer potency of M1 virus in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo. Our research provides an intriguing strategy for the rational combination of M1 virus with farnesyl transferase inhibitors to enhance therapeutic efficacy.
