Therapeutic effect of neutrophil-activating protein (NAP)-expressing measles virus (MV) strains against lung metastatic breast cancer compared to control MV-NIS. (a) Engraftment of the systemically injected MDA231-lu-P3 or P4 cells was confirmed by bioluminescence imaging. (b,c) The animals with MDA231-lu-P3 lung tumors (8 per group) were treated with 10 repeat intravenous (i.v.) injections of 2 × 106 TCID50 of MV-lambda-NAP or heat-inactivated (HI-control) control. In a separate in vivo experiment MDA231-lu-P4 lung metastatic xenografts (9 mice per group) were treated by 7 i.v. injections of 106 TCID50 of MV-s-NAP, MV-NIS or the corresponding heat-inactivated controls (d–f). Both MV-lambda-NAP and MV-s-NAP improved the median survival with 10–12 days (P < 0.05) in this aggressive model of breast cancer metastatic to the lungs.
