    Figure 1.

    Artistic Illustration of DNG64-CAR-V. The DNG64 chimeric amphotropic RNA vector [CAR-V] displaying a SIG targeting peptide (A-C), for binding to abnormally exposed Signature [SIG] proteins in the tumor microenvironment (TME) (B), and encoding a cytocidal dominant negative human cyclin G1 inhibitor gene (C). Injected intravenously, DNG64-CAR-V nanoparticles find and bind to abnormal SIG proteins exposed in the TME, which augments effective vector concentration in tumors. DNG64-CAR-V kills not only cancer cells and tumor associated vasculature, but also kills cancer associated fibroblasts and reduces stroma production which facilitates entry of immune cells, cancer drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors into the TME (adapted from Chawla 2019).

    Figure 3.

    Dramatic reduction in tumor volume with proton therapy and DNG64-CAR-V. Sagittal T1-postcontrast, axial T2 and axial T1 postcontrast magnetic resonance (MR) images of thoracic spine are shown before (A, B, C) and after (D, E, F) treatment with proton therapy and concurrently with DNG64-CAR-V, a tumor targeted gene therapy bearing a cytocidal CCNG1 inhibitor gene. There is a 16×14×25 mm mass in the ventral epidural space at T5-T6 level with heterogenous T2 hyperintense signal (arrows on B) and postcontrast enhancement (arrows on A and C). MR images obtained two months after proton therapy and DNG64-CAR-V show significant decrease in the size (10×14×14 mm) and degree of T2 signal and postcontrast enhancement suggestive of treatment response.
