ONYX-015 is an E1B-55K-deleted adenovirus that has promising clinical activity as a cancer therapy. However, many tumor cells fail to support ONYX-015 oncolytic replication. E1B-55K functions include p53 degradation, RNA export, and host protein shutoff. Here, we show that resistant tumor cell lines fail to provide the RNA export functions of E1B-55K necessary for ONYX-015 replication; viral 100K mRNA export is necessary for host protein shutoff. However, heat shock rescues late viral RNA export and renders refractory tumor cells permissive to ONYX-015. These data indicate that heat shock and late adenoviral RNAs may converge upon a common mechanism for their export. Moreover, these data suggest that the concomitant induction of a heat shock response could significantly improve ONYX-015 cancer therapy.
