Enhancing oncolytic virus efficiency with methionine and N-(3-aminoprolil)methacrylamide modified acrylamide cationic block polymer

Oncolytic virus ablation of tumor cells has the advantages of high tumor selectivity, strong immunogenicity, and low side effects. However, the recognition and clearance of oncolytic viruses by the immune system are the main factors limiting their anti-tumor efficiency. As a highly biosafe and highly modifiable oncolytic virus vector, acrylamide can improve the long-term circulation of oncolytic viruses. Still, it is limited in its uptake efficiency by tumor cells. Herein, we constructed an N-hydroxymethyl acrylamide-b-(N-3-aminopropyl methacrylamide)-b-DMC block copolymer (NMA-b-APMA-b-DMA, NAD) as an oncolytic virus carrier, which not only improves the long-term circulation of oncolytic viruses in the body but also shows excellent stability for loading an oncolytic virus. The data shows that there was no obvious difference in the transfection effect of the NAD/Ad complex with or without neutralizing antibodies in the medium, which meant that the cationic carrier mediated by NAD/Ad had good serum stability. Only 10 micrograms of NAD carrier are needed to load the oncolytic virus, which can increase the transfection efficiency by 50 times. Cell experiments and mouse animal experiments show that NAD vectors can significantly enhance the anti-tumor effect of oncolytic viruses. We hope that this work will promote the application of acrylamide as an oncolytic virus vector and provide new ideas for methods to modify acrylamide for biomedical applications.
