Abstract
To target brain cancer, various therapeutic options are present to fight against cancer cells. But the existing therapies are not showing a proper curation of cancer patients. Henceforth, activating the immune cells and targeting oncogenes/proteins might be an emerging therapeutic approach to target and destroy malignant brain tumor. Stem cells (SCs) are considered potential immunomodulators that trigger the highly suppressed immune system in the tumor microenvironment. Also, engineered SCs can repress the aberrantly expressed oncoproteins that cause tumor cell proliferation and growth. SCs have an excellent migration capability to reach the infected site and support the regeneration of damaged blood vessels and tissues. Likewise, oncolytic virotherapy (OVT) is a promising novel therapeutic molecule in which genetically modified viruses can selectively replicate and destroy cancer cells without harming healthy cells. Same as SCs, oncolytic viruses (OVs) tend to stimulate the host's innate and adaptive immune response to battle against the advanced brain tumor. In clinical studies, various OVs have shown good immunogenic responses with a high safety profile and tolerability against cancer patients with reduced morbidity and mortality rate. SCs act as an attractive cargo for OVs which helps to influence the tumor site and destroy the tumor volume. SCs protect the OVs from systemic degradation and promote therapeutic efficacy against cancer cells. SCs carried OVs might be a potential therapeutic way to bring an effective treatment option for brain tumors.
Keywords: Brain tumor, oncolytic virotherapy, stem cells, novel delivery vehicle, host immune system, glioblastoma.
