Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is currently being studied as a candidate oncolytic virus for tumor therapies due to its potent tumoricidal activity. Previous studies have demonstrated that VSV selectively infects tumor cells due to defects in their antiviral pathways. These defects make them more susceptible to VSV-induced killing than normal cells. However, some cancer cells display differential sensitivity to VSV. Specifically, LNCaP prostate cancer cells are sensitive to infection with VSV, while PC3 prostate cancer cells are relatively resistant to VSV. This suggests that tumor cells vary in the extent to which they develop defects in antiviral pathways and, thus, permit virus replication. The goal of these studies was to identify the step(s) of the viral replication cycle that is inhibited in PC3 cells. Results showed that although attachment of VSV was not significantly different among cell types, penetration was delayed by 10 to 30 min in PC3 cells relative to LNCaP cells. Primary transcription was delayed by 6 to 8 h in PC3 cells relative to LNCaP cells. Similarly, both secondary transcription and viral protein synthesis rates were delayed by about 6 to 8 h. The progressively increasing delay suggests that more than one step is affected in PC3 cells. Analysis of cellular gene expression showed that in contrast to LNCaP cells, PC3 cells constitutively expressed numerous antiviral gene products, which may enhance their resistance to VSV. These data indicate that the use of VSV for oncolytic virus therapy for prostate tumors may require prescreening of tumors for their level of susceptibility.
