Malignant mesothelioma is a highly aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. Conventional therapies for mesothelioma are generally non-curative, and new treatment paradigms are urgently needed. We hypothesized that the tumor-specific midkine (Mdk) promoter could confer transcriptional targeting to oncolytic adenoviruses for effective treatment of malignant mesothelioma. We analyzed Mdk expression by quantitative RT-PCR in six human mesothelioma cell lines, and tested Mdk promoter activity by luciferase reporter assay. Based on these data, we constructed a replication-selective oncolytic adenovirus, designated AdMdk-E1-iresTK, which contains an Mdk promoter-driven adenoviral E1 gene and HSV-thymidine kinase (TK) suicide gene, and CMV promoter-driven green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker gene. Selectivity of viral replication and cytolysis were characterized in normal vs. mesothelioma cells in vitro, and intratumoral spread and antitumor efficacy were investigated in vivo. Mdk promoter activity was restricted in normal cells, but highly activated in mesothelioma cell lines. AdMdk-E1-iresTK was seen to efficiently replicate, produce viral progeny, and spread in multiple mesothelioma cell lines. Lytic spread of AdMdk-E1-iresTK mediated efficient killing of these mesothelioma cells, and its in vitro cytocidal effect was significantly enhanced by treatment with the prodrug, ganciclovir. Intratumoral injection of AdMdk-E1-iresTK caused complete regression of MESO4 and MSTO human mesothelioma xenografts in athymic mice. In vivo fluorescence imaging demonstrated intratumoral spread of AdMdk-E1-iresTK-derived signals, which vanished after tumor eradication. These data indicate that transcriptional targeting of viral replication by the Mdk promoter represents a promising general strategy for oncolytic virotherapy of cancers with upregulated Mdk expression, including malignant mesothelioma.
