PG - 1576-81 LID - 10.1073/pnas.0912344107 [doi] AB - Oncolytic viruses constitute a promising therapy against malignant gliomas (MGs). However, virus-induced type I IFN greatly limits its clinical application. The kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) stimulates type I IFN production via phosphorylation of its effector proteins, 4E-BPs and S6Ks. Here we show that mouse embryonic fibroblasts and mice lacking S6K1 and S6K2 are more susceptible to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection than their WT counterparts as a result of an impaired type I IFN response. We used this knowledge to employ a pharmacoviral approach to treat MGs. The highly specific inhibitor of mTOR rapamycin, in combination with an IFN-sensitive VSV-mutant strain (VSV(DeltaM51)), dramatically increased the survival of immunocompetent rats bearing MGs. More importantly, VSV(DeltaM51) selectively killed tumor, but not normal cells, in MG-bearing rats treated with rapamycin. These results demonstrate that reducing type I IFNs through inhibition of mTORC1 is an effective strategy to augment the therapeutic activity of VSV(DeltaM51).
