Abstract
Oncolytic viruses are being developed as novel strategies for cancer therapy. Our previous studies have shown that vaccinia viruses armed with marine lectins improved the antitumor efficacy in diverse cancer types. The objective of this study was to assess the cytotoxic effects of oncoVV harboring Tachypleus tridentatus lectin (oncoVV-TTL), Aphrocallistes vastus lectin (oncoVV-AVL), white-spotted charr lectin (oncoVV-WCL), and Asterina pectinifera lectin (oncoVV-APL) on HCC. Our data revealed that the effects of recombinant viruses on Hep-3B cells were oncoVV-AVL > oncoVV-APL > oncoVV-TTL > oncoVV-WCL; oncoVV-AVL showed stronger cytotoxicity than oncoVV-APL, while oncoVV-TTL/WCL had no effect on cell killing in Huh7 cells, and PLC/PRF/5 cells exhibited sensitivity to oncoVV-AVL/TTL but not to oncoVV-APL/WCL. The cytotoxicity of oncoVV-lectins could be enhanced by apoptosis and replication in a cell-type-dependent manner. Further research revealed that AVL may mediate various pathways, including MAPK, Hippo, PI3K, lipid metabolism, and androgen pathways through AMPK crosstalk, to promote oncoVV replication in HCC in a cell-dependent manner. OncoVV-APL replication could be affected by AMPK/Hippo/lipid metabolism pathways in Hep-3B cells, AMPK/Hippo/PI3K/androgen pathways in Huh7 cells, and AMPK/Hippo pathways in PLC/PRF/5 cells. OncoVV-WCL replication was also multi-mechanistic, which could be affected by AMPK/JNK/lipid metabolism pathways in Hep-3B cells, AMPK/Hippo/androgen pathways in Huh7 cells, and AMPK/JNK/Hippo pathways in PLC/PRF/5 cells. In addition, AMPK and lipid metabolism pathways may play critical roles in oncoVV-TTL replication in Hep-3B cells, and oncoVV-TTL replication in Huh7 cells may depend on AMPK/PI3K/androgen pathways. This study provides evidence for the application of oncolytic vaccinia viruses in hepatocellular carcinoma.
