Enhanced Cytotoxicity of Anti-ROR1 CAR NK Cells Against Glioblastoma via Combined Treatment with Oncolytic Virus and NKTR-255
(SITC 2025)
- "Our group has successfully ex vivo expanded functional peripheral blood NK cells (exPBNK) and electroporated with anti-ROR1 CAR mRNA.3 Oncolytic herpes simplex viruses C134, a neurovirulent deleting γ134.5 and expressing the human cytomegalovirus IRS1, is a promising experimental therapy.4 We previously demonstrated enhanced cytotoxicity against neuroblastoma using HSV expressing human IL-21(HSV C021) in combination with ROR1.CAR.5 NKTR-255 is an investigational IL-15Rα-dependent, polymer-conjugated IL-15 agonist that promotes NK cell expansion. Increased IFNγ secretion was also confirmed by ELISA assay (p < 0.05) (figure 1C).Conclusions The combination of HSV C021 with NKTR-255 significantly enhanced ROR1.CAR cytotoxicity against GBM in vitro, accompanied by elevated IFNγ secretion. In vivo evaluation using humanized NSG models is currently underway."

oHSV-IL27 expression improves survival and induces protective immune memory in a CD4 T cell dependent mechanism in a preclinical murine glioma model
(SITC 2025)
- "To test this, CT-2A MG brain tumors were orthotopically established in (C57BL/6) mice and treated 7d later with equivalent virus dose of C027 (C134+IL27) or parent virus (C134) or vehicle control...Within this CD4 depleted cohort, ~10% survive in repeated studies but these LTS mice fail to reject their tumors on tumor rechallenge, unlike CD4-intact C027-LTS mice, suggesting CD4 T cells are essential for the development of durable immune memory. IL-27 expression by oHSV is a promising approach to enhance anti-glioma activity and immune memory formation.Ethics Approval All animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at Nationwide Children's Hospital (AR16-00057, AR21-00145)."

Zoonotic potential of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolated from pets and their owners in Bangladesh.
(PubMed, Sci Rep)
- "The MRSA isolates exhibited resistance to penicillin (94.9%), azithromycin (82%), and ciprofloxacin (53.9%), in addition to their intrinsic resistance to cefoxitin. Multidrug resistance was observed in 94.9% of MRSA isolates, though all were sensitive to amikacin, clindamycin, linezolid, and vancomycin...Two pairs of isolates, C134-P134 and C185-P185, showed clonality based on whole genome and core genome SNP analysis, and other genetic parameters, suggesting clonal transmission between the pets and their respective owners...The detection of diverse MRSA lineages, including human lineages ST80, ST88, and ST6-t304 in pets, underscores their zoonotic potential and emphasizes the necessity for targeted MRSA surveillance and effective infection control measures. A collaborative One Health approach is therefore imperative to address the spread of MRSA between pets and their owners, thereby mitigating associated risks."

Single cell sequencing delineates immune features of oncolytic virus therapeutic response in murine high-grade gliomas
(AACR 2025)
- P1 | "Our labs developed OV C134, now under evaluation in a phase I clinical trial of recurrent glioblastoma (NCT03657576)...Further, cell type-specific immune signatures of C002 therapeutic responders as compared to nonresponders were identified, including responder-specific increases in major histocompatibility complex class II in macrophages/monocytes, interferon gamma in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, tumor necrosis factor-alpha in CD4+ T cells, and a decrease in interferon gamma receptor 1 in T regulatory cells. Collectively, our findings contribute to the knowledge of how OV therapy alters tumor immune microenvironments and reveal prioritized candidates whose further study could advance the understanding of how to achieve positive responses to OV therapy in patients."

Combinatorial immunotherapy with anti-ROR1 CAR NK cells and an IL-21 secreting oncolytic virus against neuroblastoma.
(PubMed, Mol Ther Oncol)
- "Furthermore, the combination of C021 and anti-ROR1-CAR-NK cells significantly extended the survival of human NB xenografted NSG mice compared to controls (mock NK, ROR1-CAR-NK, C134, C021, C134+ROR1-CAR-NK, and C021+mock NK). Our results suggest that cytokine-secreting oncolytic virus in combination with CAR-NK cells is a novel, effective immunotherapeutic approach for high-risk NB."
