Systemic delivery of oncolytic viruses has been widely regarded as an impractical option for antitumor treatment. Here, we selected two target genes as leading components, and significant therapeutic effects were obtained by simultaneously reducing the expression of transforming growth factor ß 1 (TGF-ß1) and heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in various cancer cell types. Downregulation of HSP27 reduced the cellular levels of tumor progression-related proteins, and the simultaneous downregulation of HSP27 and TGF-ß1 increased tumor cell death beyond that observed with TGF-ß1 downregulation alone. To increase the potential for systemic administration, we generated modified mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to act as oncolytic adenovirus factories and carriers and assessed bioavailability in tumors after MSC injection. The MSCs were modified to express 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78) and adenovirus early-region 1B 55 kDa (E1B55K). The tightly controlled inducible system permitted selective timing of viral release from carrier MSCs within the tumor. This approach significantly improved viral production, tumor targeting, timely viral release at the tumor site, and antitumor efficacy of the oncolytic adenovirus. These combined results demonstrate that engineered MSCs can significantly enhance the antitumor effects of oncolytic viruses without adverse safety issues, which may greatly extend the clinical applicability of oncolytic adenoviruses.
