Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Carrying Lectin (oncoVV-AVL) Enhances Inflammatory Response in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells.

lectin (AVL) is a C-type marine lectin derived from sponges. Our previous study demonstrated that oncolytic vaccinia virus carrying AVL (oncoVV-AVL) significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of oncoVV in cervical cancer, colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma through the activation of Ras/ERK, MAPK/ERK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. In this study, the inflammatory response induced by oncoVV-AVL in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell (HCC) model was investigated.

Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Harboring Lectin Inhibits the Growth of Cervical Cancer Cells Hela S3.

lectin (AVL) is a C-type marine lectin produced by sponges. Our previous study demonstrated that genes encoding AVL enhanced the cytotoxic effect of oncolytic vaccinia virus (oncoVV) in a variety of cancer cells. In this study, the inhibitory effect of oncoVV-AVL on Hela S3 cervical cancer cells, a cell line with spheroidizing ability, was explored.
