Resumo
Ovarian cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies with a five-year survival rate around 20% at III–IV stages, which determines the urgent need to develop new therapeutic approaches. Newcastle disease virus (NDV) demonstrated considerable promise as an oncolytic agent, capable of selectively lysing tumor cells, suppressing the metastatic potential and stimulating anti-tumor immunity. Despite the established therapeutic potential, studies that investigate oncolytic properties of this virus within the context of ovarian cancer remain limited. In this work, we evaluated oncolytic activity of the NDV vaccine strain H in SC-OV-3, TOV-21G and OV-90 ovarian cancer cell lines. Such parameters as ability to support viral replication and cell viability after infection were investigated. As a result, all three lines were permissive to NDV-H infection. Therapeutic efficacy in vivo was assessed using a model of TOV-21G subcutaneous xenografts in BALB/c nude mice. Upon intravenous administration of the virus, a statistically significant reduction in tumor volume was observed compared to the control group. Based on these results, NDV-H strain can be considered as a potential oncolytic agent for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
