Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It is the third most common cancer worldwide and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death. FOLFOX, a combination of leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, is the first-line chemotherapy for stage III and stage IV CRC. However, patients with FOLFOX-resistant CRC have a poor prognosis. In recent years, virochemotherapy has been proposed as a potential treatment for chemotherapy-resistant cancer. Materials and Methods: Through our first screening assay, we found that coxsackievirus A11 (CVA11) displayed potent oncolytic activities. We tested whether coxsackievirus A11 (CVA11) has oncolytic activity in human CRC cells in vitro and in vivo. We also examined whether pretreatment of oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells with oxaliplatin enhances the oncolytic activity of CVA11. Results: We found that CVA11 was potently oncolytic against the oxaliplatin-sensitive Caco-2 cell line, but had little effect on the oxaliplatin-resistant line WiDr. However, pretreatment of WiDr cells with oxaliplatin enhanced the oncolytic activity of CVA11, and the combination therapy was more cytotoxic than either oxaliplatin treatment or CVA11 infection alone. Furthermore, growth of subcutaneous WiDr tumors in a xenograft model was significantly lower in mice treated with oxaliplatin followed by intratumoral CVA11 injection compared with mice receiving either treatment alone. Conclusion: Oxaliplatin pretreatment sensitized oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells to lysis by CVA11 infection in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, these findings identify a novel potential chemovirotherapeutic modality for the treatment of oxaliplatin-resistant human CRC.

Adenocarcinoma of the colon and rectum (colorectal cancer, CRC) is the third most common cancer and the fourth most common cause of cancer death worldwide. Approximately 3.5 million people are currently living with CRC, and there are an estimated 1.3 million new diagnoses and 0.7 million deaths from CRC annually (1). In Japan, treatment for CRC depends on the disease stage at initial diagnosis. Approximately 95% of stage I and 65-80% of stage II CRC cases are curable with surgery, which is the accepted treatment modality for early-stage CRC, but rectal cancer may require additional radiation therapy to minimize the risk of recurrence. Advanced-stage CRC (stages III and IV) is often treated with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, plus leucovorin (FOLFOX) therapy has been shown to provide significant, but modest, improvement of disease-free survival for patients with CRC. However, patients with FOLFOX-resistant CRC have the worst prognosis (2).

Oncolytic virotherapy using enteroviruses is a promising new strategy to treat various types of human cancers. RNA viruses seem to be a relatively safer modality, as most single-stranded RNA viruses replicate in the host cytosol without a DNA phase. Therefore, they lack the genotoxicity caused by integration of the viral genome into the host DNA (3). In particular, enteroviruses, members of the Picornaviridae family, a diverse group of small RNA viruses, have emerged as promising candidates for oncolytic virotherapeutic modalities. Their use has several therapeutic advantages: these viruses immediately induce robust cytolytic changes, they do not possess oncogenes that may lead to tumorigenesis, and they can be easily genetically manipulated by reverse genetics systems for the rescue of positive strand RNA viruses from complementary DNA. Furthermore, most non-polio enteroviruses are common and highly prevalent and are mainly associated with asymptomatic infection or mild diseases (4). Although coxsackievirus A21 is reported to be a potent oncolytic enterovirus against several types of human cancer cell, such as breast cancer, multiple myeloma and malignant melanoma, coxsackievirus A21-infected mice died of lethal myositis with paralysis (5).

In order to develop a novel virotherapy with an improved safety profile, we focused on an enterovirus strain of coxsackievirus A11 (CVA11), which has low pathogenicity, but possesses broad oncolytic activity against solid cancer, as demonstrated by our screen of 38 enteroviruses (data not shown). In the present study, we found that oxaliplatin pretreatment rendered an oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell line sensitive to CVA11 oncolytic activity in vitro and in vivo.

Materials and Methods

Mice. Four-week-old female BALB/c nude mice were purchased from Charles River (Yokohama, Japan). All animal experiments (approval number: A26-086) were carried out under the Guidelines for Animal Experiments of Kyushu University and Law 105 Notification 6 of the Japanese Government.

Cell culture. The CRC cell lines WiDr and Caco-2 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA), expanded for one passage, and then frozen at −80°C until use. Thawed cells were resuspended in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and then plated on 10-mm diameter dishes at a density of 2×104 cells/cm2. Cells were incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.

Oxaliplatin. Oxaliplatin (Wako, Japan) was purchased from Seiko Co., Ltd, and used at 50 μM for in vitro experiments and at 100 μg/mouse for in vivo experiments.

Enterovirus. CVA11 (the prototype Belgium-1 strain) was obtained from H. Shimizu (National Institute of Infectious Disease, Tokyo, Japan) and was propagated in HeLa cells. The 50% tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) per milliliter on HeLa cell monolayers was determined as previously described (6).

Cell viability. Cells were infected with CVA11 at multiplicity of infection (MOI) 0.1, 0.01, or 0.001 for 1 h, and cell viability was assessed by crystal violet staining as previously described (7).

In vivo therapeutic study. WiDr cells (5×106 cells) were injected subcutaneously into the right flanks of nude mice. When tumors reached a diameter of 0.4 cm, mice were assigned to one of four treatment groups (n=5): untreated, or therapy with oxaliplatin alone, CVA11 alone, or the combination of oxaliplatin plus CVA11. Mice received an intraperitoneal injection of oxaliplatin (100 μg/mouse) on day 1 with/without intratumoral injections of CVA11 (4×104 TCID50) on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. The tumor volume was calculated as (length × width × width)/2 as described elsewhere (6). Data are expressed as the means±standard error (SEM). Animals were euthanized when the tumor diameter exceeded 1 cm.

RNA extraction and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Total RNA was extracted from tumors from WiDr cells after 30 h incubation using an RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hidden, Germany). RT was carried out using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Quantitative real-time RT–PCR was monitored using the StepOnePlus Real-Time PCR System (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) and the results were analyzed with the accompanying software, as described elsewhere (8). Reactions were carried out in Taq Man PCR Master Mix (Foster City, CA, USA) with primers specific for human CD55 molecule (Cromer blood group) (CD55), intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1), coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CXADR), and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (SELPLG). Data are shown as the means±SEM.

Statistical analysis. All analyses were conducted with GraphPad Prism 5.0d software (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Data were analyzed using two-tailed unpaired Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test, or nonparametric Mann–Whitney U-test. A value of p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Survival curves were plotted according to the Kaplan–Meier method (log-rank test).

Results

Oxaliplatin increases the oncolytic activity of CVA11 against oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells in vitro. We previously carried out a large-scale screening of enteroviruses to identify viruses with potent oncolytic activity against human cancer cell lines. Several enteroviruses displayed marked cytotoxic activity, particularly coxsackievirus B3, which was highly cytolytic against non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (6). However, we later found that wild-type coxsackievirus B3 caused unacceptable side-effects such as pancreatitis. Thus, we turned our focus to another enterovirus, CVA11, which was not expected to elicit similar side-effects. Using crystal violet staining to measure cell viability, we first examined whether CVA11 infection was oncolytic towards two human CRC cell lines, Caco2 and WiDr. We found that CVA11 was cytotoxic against Caco2 at a MOI as low as 0.001 (Figure 1A). Since Caco-2 is well-established as being sensitive to oxaliplatin, a standard chemotherapeutic agent for CRC (1), we also asked whether CVA11 was cytolytic against the oxaliplatin-resistant WiDr cell line, either alone or after pretreatment with oxaliplatin. Notably, CVA11 infection alone had little effect on the viability of these cells (Figure 1B). However, pretreatment with oxaliplatin for 12 h rendered WiDr cells sensitive to subsequent infection with CVA11, whereas oxaliplatin treatment or CVA11 infection alone had little effect on cell viability (Figure 1B).

Oxaliplatin pretreatment increases the oncolytic activity of coxsackievirus A11 (CVA11). A: Caco2 cells were infected with CVA11 at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.1, 0.01, or 0.001, and cell viability was assessed 30 h later by crystal violet staining. B: WiDr cells were treated with oxaliplatin (50 μM) for 12 h with/without infection with CVA11 for 30 h before measurement of cell viability. I: MOCK, no pretreatment or infection; II: pretreated with oxaliplatin only; III: pretreated with oxaliplatin and CVA11-infected at MOI 0.01; IV: CVA11-infected only at MOI 0.01; V: pretreated with oxaliplatin and CVA11-infected at MOI 0.001; VI: CVA11-infected only at MOI 0.001.

Oxaliplatin improves the oncolytic efficiency of CVA11 in oxaliplatin-resistant CRC xenografts in mice. We next investigated whether combination oxaliplatin and CVA11 therapy also had an enhanced activity against oxaliplatin-resistant CRC xenografts in vivo. WiDr cells were injected subcutaneously into nude mice and the mice were then treated or not with oxaliplatin alone, CVA11 alone, or the combination of oxaliplatin plus CVA11. The results showed that tumor volumes were significantly smaller in mice treated with the combination therapy compared with either monotherapy (p<0.05, Figure 2A). None of the treatments affected the animals' body weights (Figure 2B). Mouse survival was assessed by the Kaplan–Meier method. This analysis revealed that mice in the combination group survived longer than mice in groups untreated, or treated with oxaliplatin or CVA11 alone (Figure 3).

Oxaliplatin induces expression of CD55 and ICAM1 in oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells. In order to investigate the mechanism by which oxaliplatin pretreatment might enhance the oncolytic activity of CVA11, we examined the mRNA expression levels of the enterovirus receptors CD55, ICAM1, CXADR and SELPLG in oxaliplatin-resistant WiDr cells. SELPLG is an enterovirus 71 receptor required for viral replication in leukocytes (9), while CD55, ICAM1 and CXADR facilitate the entry of coxsackie viruses into the cells (10). After 30 h incubation, the relative expression levels of CD55 and ICAM1 mRNA were significantly higher in oxaliplatin-treated cells compared with untreated cells (Figure 4).

Discussion

Standard chemotherapy against advanced CRC has only limited efficacy. Although FOLFOX is a standard treatment for stage III and IV CRC, patients with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy-resistant advanced CRC have very poor prognosis (11). The antitumor effects of oxaliplatin are thought to be mediated by its biotransformation products, which induce cellular DNA damage. However, this also affects non-tumor cells and is the source of oxaliplatin toxicity (12). The cytotoxicity of oxaliplatin is approximately proportional to its cellular uptake (13).

Oxaliplatin improves the oncolytic efficiency of coxsackievirus A11 (CVA11) in vivo. A: WiDr xenograft-bearing mice were assigned to four groups (n=5/group): untreated (●), treated with oxaliplatin alone (▪), treated with CVA11 alone (▵), or treated with oxaliplatin followed by CVA11 infection (▿). Mice were injected intraperitoneally with oxaliplatin (100 μg/mouse) on day 1 with/without intratumoral injection with CVA11 (4×104) on days 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (n=5). B: Body weights were measured on the indicated days. *Significantly different p<0.05. Data are shown as the means±SEM.

Oncolytic viruses are viral strains that can infect and kill malignant cells without injuring normal cells. Oncolysis can be either a natural property of the virus or a consequence of manipulation of the viral genome, and oncolytic virotherapy has developed into an important modality for cancer treatment. Oncolytic virotherapy began in the early 1990s when a genetically modified, live-attenuated, thymidine kinase-negative herpes simplex virus (HSV) strain showed promising results in human glioma xenograft models (14). In 2015, T-VEC (IMLYGIC™), a genetically engineered HSV, became the first oncolytic virus approved for use in the United States and the European Union for patients with locally advanced or non-resectable melanoma (15). Oncolytic viruses enter cells by binding to cell surface receptors or by fusion with the plasma membrane. An essential characteristic of an oncolytic virus is the ability to establish a lytic cycle in malignant tissues through an inherent tumor abnormality.

Oncolytic viruses have the ability to establish a niche of continuous viral replication within the tumor (16). Some oncolytic viruses, such as reovirus (17), HSV (18, 19) and vaccinia virus (20), indirectly cause the death of malignant cells by inducing tumor-specific adaptive immune responses. Others, such as adenovirus (21), coxsackie virus B3 (6) and measles virus (22), cause endoplasmic reticulum stress and immunological cell death resulting from the release of molecules known as danger-association molecular patterns, including adenosine triphosphate, calreticulin, and high-mobility group box-1, which attract immune cells (23). Combination treatment with an oncolytic virus and chemotherapy was reported by Sung et al. in 2008 (24, 25), who showed that combination treatment with vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and cisplatin increased cancer cell death compared with VSV monotherapy both in vitro and in vivo. Although the mechanism of oncolysis of VSV was not clear, the combination therapy was thought to be immunomodulatory (24, 26). In our experiments, we found that oxaliplatin increased the oncolytic activity of CVA11 in oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cells in vitro and in the tumor xenograft mouse model. Importantly, serious side-effects were not observed in mice treated with the combination therapy. Our assessment of viral receptor expression indicated that CD55 and ICAM1 were up-regulated by oxaliplatin treatment. Several cytokines have been reported to enhance the expression of both CD55 and ICAM1, including tumor necrosis factor-α (27, 28), transforming growth factor-β1 (29, 30), and interferon-γ (31, 32). It is possible that oxaliplatin may have increased the expression of CD55 and ICAM1 via up-regulation of cytokines, leading to enhanced oncolytic activity. However, the precise mechanism underlying the superior antitumor effects of the combination therapy remains unclear. A previous report suggested that SELPLG expressed on leukocytes might contribute to the replication of enterovirus 71 and the subsequent induction of cytopathic effect on infected cells (9). Based on our experiments, CD55 and ICAM1 might contribute to the observed increase in CVA11-mediated oncolysis following oxaliplatin treatment.

Oxaliplatin treatment enhances the expression of CD55 molecule (Cromer blood group) (CD55) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) viral receptors. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis was carried out of the relative mRNA expression of CD55, ICAM1, coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CXADR), and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (SELPLG) in WiDr cells treated with oxaliplatin (50 μM) or infected with coxsackievirus A11 (CVA11). Data are shown as the means±SEM, n=4. *Significantly different at p<0.05.

In conclusion, in this study, we showed that CVA11 infection following oxaliplatin pretreatment was an effective therapy for human oxaliplatin-resistant CRC in mouse xenografts, raising the possibility that it may have a therapeutic potential. Further preclinical studies are required to validate this concept before starting clinical studies.
