Development of an immunotherapeutic adenovirus targeting hormone-independent prostate cancer.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo develop a targeting therapy for hormone-independent prostate cancer, we constructed and characterized conditionally replicating oncolytic adenovirus (Ad) equipped with mRFP (monomeric red fluorescence protein)/ttk (modified herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase). This construct was then further modified to express both mRFP/ttk and a soluble form of cytokine FLT3L (fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand) simultaneously.
methodsTo construct the recombinant oncolytic adenovirus, E1a and E4 genes, which are necessary for adenovirus replication, were controlled by the prostate-specific enhancer sequence (PSES) targeting prostate cancer cells expressing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Simultaneously, it expressed the mRFP/ttk fusion protein in order to be able to elicit the cytotoxic effect.
resultsThe Ad5/35PSES.mRFP/ttk chimeric recombinant adenovirus was generated successfully. When replication of Ad5/35PSES.mRFP/ttk was evaluated in prostate cancer cell lines under fluorescence microscopy, red fluorescence intensity increased more in LNCaP cells, suggesting that the mRFP/ttk fusion protein was folded functionally. In addition, the replication assay including wild-type adenovirus as a positive control showed that PSES-positive cells (LNCaP and CWR22rv) permitted virus replication but not PSES-negative cells (DU145 and PC3). Next, we evaluated the killing activity of this recombinant adenovirus. The Ad5/35PSES. mRFP/ttk killed LNCaP and CWR22rv more effectively. Unlike PSES-positive cells, DU145 and PC3 were resistant to killing by this recombinant adenovirus. Finally, in order to potentiate therapeutic efficacy, we developed a recombinant adenovirus expressing multiexogenous genes, mRFP/ttk and sFLT3L.
conclusionIn the present study, a replication-competent adenovirus was successfully designed to replicate conditionally in PSA-positive and PSMA-positive prostate cancer cells. This recombinant adenovirus is equipped with the fusion protein of suicidal and red-fluorescence fusion protein together with sFLT3L. This construct would be expected to have potent antitumor effects and deserves more extensive investigation.
