Our preclinical and clinical trials using a replication-defective adenoviral vector expressing IFN-beta have shown promising results for the treatment of malignant mesothelioma. Based on the hypotheses that a replication-competent vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) oncolytic vector would transduce more tumor cells in vivo, that coexpression of the immunostimulatory IFN-beta gene would enhance the immune-based effector mechanisms associated both with regression of mesotheliomas and with VSV-mediated virotherapy, and that virus-derived IFN-beta would add further safety to the VSV platform, we tested the use of IFN-beta as a therapeutic transgene expressed from VSV as a novel treatment for mesothelioma. VSV-IFN-beta showed significant therapy against AB12 marine mesotheliomas in the context of both local and locoregional viral delivery. Biologically active IFN-beta expressed from VSV added significantly to therapy compared with VSV alone, dependent in part on host CD8+ T-cell responses. Immune monitoring suggested that these antitumor T-cell responses may be due to a generalized T-cell activation rather than the priming of tumor antigen-specific T-cell responses. Finally, IFN-beta also added considerable extra safety to the virus by providing protection from off-target viral replication in nontumor tissues and protected severe combined immunodeficient mice from developing lethal neurotoxicity. The enhanced therapeutic index provided by the addition of IFN-beta to VSV therefore provides a powerful justification for the development of this virus for future clinical trials.
