Gene Therapy of Cancer: Activation of Nucleoside Prodrugs withE. coliPurine Nucleoside Phosphorylase
摘要:
During the last few years, many gene therapy strategies have been developed for various disease targets. The development of anticancer gene therapy strategies to selectively generate cytotoxic nucleoside or nucleotide analogs is an attractive goal. One such approach involves the delivery of herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase followed by the acyclic nucleoside analog ganciclovir. We have developed another gene therapy methodology for the treatment of cancer that has several significant attributes. Specifically, our approach involves the delivery off. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase, followed by treatment with a relatively non-toxic nucleoside prodrug that is cleaved by the enzyme to a toxic compound. This presentation describes the concept, details our search for suitable prodrugs, and summarizes the current biological data.

This disclosure relates to methods of treating cancer or initiating, enhancing, or prolonging an anti-tumor response in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a checkpoint inhibitor in combination with a purine cleaving enzyme or a vector encoding expression thereof, and a prodrug cleaved by said purine cleaving enzyme. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to methods of treating cancer or initiating, enhancing, or prolonging an anti-tumor response in a subject in need thereof comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a checkpoint inhibitor in combination with a purine cleaving enzyme, or a vector encoding expression thereof, in the absence of a prodrug cleaved by said purine cleaving enzyme.
