Name of the project: New approaches in developing medications: scoring and constructing virus strains that are non-pathogenic for humans that are prospective as oncolyic medications

Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development Priority Level: в, д

Research directions: Developing and research of onclytic viruses, molecular epidemiology of viral infections, taxonomy of viruses

Project objective:

Developing concepts of creating oncolytic medications based on viruses
Broadening fundamental knowledge of mechanisms of virus–cell interaction, of functions and structure of virus-specific cell proteins that are linked to cancerogenesis and defense against it
Creation of a world class research and education laboratory with state -of-the-art infrastructure aimed at developing new highly efficient oncolytic medications based on non-pathogenic viruses
Training highly qualified professionals in molecular biology and biotechnologies who will have fundamental knowledge and experimental skills in life sciences and will be able to apply their knowledge to create new technologies and medications

Our researchers have obtained a collection of potentially oncological strains of enteroviruses, paramyxoviruses and adenoviruses and characterized their anti-tumor activity.
We have shown high oncoselectivity of the Russian strain of the L-IVP vaccinia virus and anti-tumor activity of the VVdGF-ApoS24/2 recombinant strain synthesized on its basis.
We have synthesized a series of recombinant strains of vaccinia expressing proteins that strengthen their oncolytic qualities. We have shown increased oncolytic activity of these strains. Pre-clinical tests of one of the strains have been started within the «Pharma-2020» Federal Target Program.
The Laboratory has created a genetic engineering vectors based on a full-scale copy of genome of a 6th type adenovirus and started constructing its derivatives to synthesize therapeutic anti-tumor medications. We have obtained several recombinant oncolytic strains of adenovirus of the 6th serotype and started studying their oncolytic characteristics.
We have studied oncolytic and cultural characteristics of a number of strains of enteroviruses. Several prospective strains have been selected for pre-clinical tests.
Several most promising oncolytic strains of paramyxovirus Sendai have been selected. Comparative research of their oncolytic qualities has been started.
We have started assembling a reverse genetics system for conservation and reproduction of original properties of the Sendai virus and synthesizing recombinant oncolytic strains based on it.

Implemented results of research: Highly prospective stamps of enteroviruses have been selected for pre-clinical testing.

Education and career development:

We have opened a masters program in biotechnologies, students complete pre-thesis and thesis research at the Laboratory in the «Oncolytic viruses» domain (2016).
We have developed and tested the «Oncolytic viruses» course for medical students, interns and resident doctors (2012).
The «Basics of virology» online course has been launched at the Coursera platform (2016).

Organizational and structural changes: We have organized collaboration between the Laboratory and students of the microbiology case study. On the basis of this collaboration we have published the «Case study in biotechnology. Part 1» textbook (2017).

Other results:

Textbook «Basics of biosecurity» (with contributions by S. V. Netyosov) has received an award for the best textbook in «Health sciences» at the «Academus» contest by the «Infra-M» publishing house (2017).
