    摘要: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for enhancing the oncolytic activity of replication-competent, target cell-specific adenovirus vectors by modification of the E1A gene product. The target cell-specific replication-competent adenovirus vectors comprise a chimera of an adenovirus gene essential for replication, preferably an early gene, and the Androgen receptor (or a portion thereof) under the transcriptional control of a cell type-specific transcriptional regulatory element (TRE). By providing for cell type-specific transcription through the use of one or more cell type-specific TREs, the adenovirus vectors effect prostate-specific cytotoxicity due to selective replication.

    摘要: The present invention includes the use of a nucleic acid sequence encoding an shRNA to target RNA interference against a cellular factor where such use can enhance oncolytic adenovius replication. The nucleic acid sequence encoding an shRNA can be introduced into an oncolytic adenovius construct via a recombination event, and such nucleic acid sequence encoding an shRNA can reside in either the E1 region or Fiber region of the oncolytic adenovius construct. In particular, the oncolytic adenovius construct optionally include a prostate specific promoter or prostate specific enhancer for issue specific expression in prostate cancer cells. The oncolytic adenovius constructs of the invention provides utility for the treatment of cancers, in particular prostate cancer.
