The present disclosure relates to synthetic oncolytic viruses comprising a lipid nanoparticle comprising one or more types of lipid and a self-amplifying replicon RNA comprising a sequence that encodes an immunomodulatory molecule.

The present invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to use of VCP (valosin-containing protein, VCP) inhibitor and oncolytic virus in the preparation of an anti-tumor drug. The present invention firstly discovers that VCP inhibitor can be used in the preparation of an anti-tumor synergist for oncolytic virus. Meanwhile, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising VCP inhibitor and oncolytic virus, a pharmaceutical kit comprising VCP inhibitor and oncolytic virus, and use of VCP inhibitor and oncolytic virus for treating tumor, especially a tumor that is not sensitive to oncolytic virus. The present invention also relates to an anti-tumor administration system, characterized in that, comprising oncolytic virus and a reagent for detecting the expression level of VCP.

The invention relates to an adenovirus comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a Helicobacter pylori neutrophil-activating protein (NAP) and/or a nucleic acid sequence encoding an immunologically equivalent fragment of NAP and a nucleic acid sequence encoding an immunomodulator capable of inducing an immune response in a subject. The adenovirus has enhanced clinical effects in terms of delaying tumor growth and prolonging survival.

Provided are polynucleotides and viral vectors, particularly, Alphavirus vectors such as Sindbis viral vectors, which encode an immune checkpoint protein, or a ligand binding portion of the checkpoint protein, or an immune checkpoint protein or ligand binding portion thereof fused to one or more immunoglobulin (Ig) domains, e.g., an Ig hinge region and an Ig heavy chain constant domain. Methods of treating a mammalian subject having a cancer or tumor are provided, in which the viral vectors, e.g., a Sindbis virus vector, encoding the immune checkpoint protein, a ligand binding portion thereof, or a checkpoint protein fusion protein as described, are administered to the subject, resulting in an anti-cancer or anti-tumor immune response, significant reduction in tumor growth in the treated subject and increased survivability.

The present disclosure relates to synthetic oncolytic viruses comprising a lipid nanoparticle comprising one or more types of lipid and a self-amplifying replicon RNA comprising a sequence that encodes an immunomodulatory molecule.

The invention relates to compositions and methods for the preparation, manufacture and therapeutic use of oncolytic defective virus compositions and methods of in vivo synthesis thereof. The composition includes a first nucleic acid construct encoding a self-amplifying mRNA (sa-mRNA) encoding at least one gene of interest (GOI) or a plurality of GOIs, a second nucleic acid construct encoding an mRNA encoding at least one virus structural protein, and at least one payload delivery system.

The present disclosure relates to synthetic oncolytic viruses comprising a lipid nanoparticle comprising one or more types of lipid and a self-amplifying replicon RNA comprising a sequence that encodes an immunomodulatory molecule.

The present invention relates to high-titer hybrid vims vectors which produce virus-like vesicle (VLVs) and compositions and methods thereof for targeting a malignancy or infectious disease. VLVs are a capsid-free, self-replicating artificial virus platform carrying positive-strand capped and polyadenylated RNA encoding an in vitro evolved Semliki Forest vims (SFV) RNA-dependent RNA replicase and the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) glycoprotein. The VLVs of the present invention and pharmaceutical compositions thereof encode for polynucleotide and/or polypeptide therapeutic agents useful in methods for the treatment, prophylaxis, and prevention of malignancies and infectious diseases.
