Sensitivity of C6 Glioma Cells Carrying the Human Poliovirus Receptor to Oncolytic Polioviruses

Bull Exp Biol Med. 2016 Oct;161(6):821-825. doi: 10.1007/s10517-016-3520-1. Epub 2016 Oct 26.

Abstract

A humanized line of rat C6 glioma cells expressing human poliovirus receptor was obtained and tested for the sensitivity to oncolytic effects of vaccine strains of type 1, 2, and 3 polioviruses. Presentation of the poliovirus receptor on the surface of C6 glioma cells was shown to be a necessary condition for the interaction of cells with polioviruses, but insufficient for complete poliovirus oncolysis.

Keywords: malignant gliomas; oncolytic viruses; poliovirus; poliovirus receptor; virotherapy.
