Virus-PCION complex having enhanced antitumor effect by using electromagnetic field
The present disclosure relates to a composition for transduction of a virus in a cell by using a crosslinked product of PEGylated magnetic nanoparticles and catechol grafted poly-L-lysine by application of an external magnetic field. When the composition is used, a virus may be delivered into cells more rapidly and efficiently than in intracellular uptake of a virus by CAR-mediated endocytosis.
1. A method of treating cancer, the method comprising:
administering a complex comprising: (a) magnetic nanoparticles cross-linked with catechol grafted poly-L-lysine and having PEGylated surfaces; and (b) an oncolytic andenovirus to an individual in a presence of a magnetic field,
wherein a molar ratio of the magnetic nanoparticles to the oncolytic andenovirus in the complex ranges from about 1:1×10 6 to about 1:8×10 7 .
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic nanoparticles comprise one selected from the group consisting of maghemite (Fe 2 O 3 ), magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ), and mixtures thereof.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the catechol grafted poly-L-lysine, a degree of substitution of a catechol functional group with respect to the poly-L-lysine ranges from about 5 to about 30.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic nanoparticles and the catechol grafted poly-L-lysine are mixed in a weight ratio of about 10:1 to about 1:5.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the complex exhibits decreased liver tropism by application of an external MGF.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer is selected from the group consisting of stomach cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, bronchial cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, and cervical cancer.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cancer comprises a coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) negative tumor.
