Advanced gastric cancer, especially scirrhous gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination, remains refractory to conventional therapies. G47 Delta, a third-generation oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1, is an attractive novel therapeutic agent for solid cancer. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of G47 Delta for human gastric cancer. In vitro, G47 Delta showed good cytopathic effects and replication capabilities in nine human gastric cancer cell lines tested. In vivo, intratumoral inoculations with G47 Delta (2 x 10(5) or 1 x 10(6) plaqueforming units [PFU]) significantly inhibited the growth of subcutaneous tumors (MKN45, MKN74, and 44As3). To evaluate the efficacy of G47 Delta for advanced-stage models of gastric cancer, we generated an orthotopic tumor model and peritoneal dissemination models of human scirrhous gastric cancer (MKN45-luc and 44As3Luc), which have features mimicking intractable scirrhous cancer patients. G47 Delta (1 x 10(6) PFU) was constantly efficacious whether administered intratumorally or intraperitoneally in the clinically relevant models. Notably, G47 Delta injected intraperitoneally readily distributed to, and selectively replicated in, disseminated tumors. Furthermore, flow cytometric analyses of tumor-infiltrating cells in subcutaneous tumors revealed that intratumoral G47 Delta injections markedly decreased M2 macrophages while increasing Ml macrophages and natural killer (NK) cells. These findings indicate the usefulness of G47 Delta for treating human gastric cancer, including scirrhous gastric cancer and the ones in advanced stages.
