Recombinant Newcastle disease virus (rNDV) as antitumor agent has been shown to be effective for cancer therapy. And TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) also has been demonstrated potentially cancer-therapeutic effects. In this study, we constructed TRAIL delivered by rNDV (rNDV-TRAIL) and investigated whether TRAIL would generate the potential synergistic therapeutic effects with rNDV for cancer therapy. In vitro experiments indicated that TRAIL expressed by rNDV demonstrated good biological activity. TRAIL significantly enhanced inducing apoptosis of rNDV in death receptor expression cancer cell lines. Experiments in malignant melanoma-bearing mice demonstrated that expression of TRAIL delivered by rNDV significantly inhibited the tumor growth and prolonged the survival of treated animals compared to control. In conclusion, oncolytic capacity of rNDV was augmented by TRAIL and the inherent anti-neoplastic properties of NDV were enhanced by the introduction of therapeutic TRAIL gene.

African Swine Fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease threatening the global pig industry. Currently, only two gene-deleted live attenuated vaccines are approved, exclusively in Vietnam, and their long-term effectiveness and safety are unproven, prompting the need for safer alternatives. This study assessed a cocktail of African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) antigens delivered via a recombinant Newcastle Disease Virus (rNDV) vector against the genotype II ASFV-SY18.

NDV as an attractive candidate for oncolytic immunotherapy selectively lyses tumor cells but shows limited anti-tumor immunity. Immune co-stimulator OX40 ligand (OX40L) boosts anti-tumor immunity response by delivering a potent costimulatory signal to CD4 and CD8 T cells. To improve the anti-tumor immunity of NDV, the recombinant NDV expressing the murine OX40L (rNDV-mOX40L) was engineered.

Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain carcinoma in the world and has a poor survival rate. Previous studies have demonstrated that p53 dysfunction contributes to the development and severity of malignant glioma. It has also been demonstrated that Newcastle disease virus (NDV) may be a viable candidate for the treatment of various types of cancer.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an intrinsically tumor-specific virus, many researchers have reported that lentogenic NDV is a safe and effective agent for human cancer therapy. It had been demonstrated that the amino acid sequence of the fusion protein cleavage site is a major factor in the pathogenicity and anti-tumor efficacy of rNDV. However, the role of Hemagglutinin-Neuraminidase (HN) gene that contributes to virulence and anti-tumor efficacy remains undefined.
