Abstract
The 2-year survival rate of patients with breast cancer brain metastases is less than 2%. Treatment options for breast cancer brain metastases are limited, and there is an unmet need to identify novel therapies for this disease. Brain angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1) is a GPCR involved in tumor angiogenesis, invasion, phagocytosis, and synaptogenesis. For the first time, we identify that BAI1 expression is significantly reduced in breast cancer and higher expression is associated with better patient survival. Nestin is an intermediate filament whose expression is upregulated in several cancers. We found that higher Nestin expression significantly correlated with breast cancer lung and brain metastases, suggesting both BAI1 and Nestin can be therapeutic targets for this disease. Here, we demonstrate the ability of an oncolytic virus, 34.5ENVE, to target and kill high Nestin-expressing cells and deliver Vstat120 (extracellular fragment of BAI1). Finally, we created two orthotopic immune-competent murine models of breast cancer brain metastases and demonstrated 34.5ENVE extended the survival of immune-competent mice bearing intracranial breast cancer tumors.
