Microtubule disruption synergizes with oncolytic virotherapy by inhibiting interferon translation and potentiating bystander killing
30 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
In this study, we show that several microtubule-destabilizing agents used for decades for treatment of cancer and other diseases also sensitize cancer cells to oncolytic rhabdoviruses and improve therapeutic outcomes in resistant murine cancer models. Drug-induced microtubule destabilization leads to superior viral spread in cancer cells by disrupting type I IFN mRNA translation, leading to decreased IFN protein...
