Zusammenfassung
Oncolytic Therapy using conditionally replicating adenoviral vectors provides a challenging tool for the treatment of solid tumors. Recently, the proteasome inhibitor Bortezomib has been established as novel anti-cancer agent. However, exact molecular mechanisms of Bortezomib induced cell death are not fully understood and potential interference with virotherapy if applied as combination treatment is unkown. Aim of this work was to investigate adenoviral replication under Bortezomib treatment in Huh–7 cells. Huh–7 cells were treated with single or combined treaments of Bortezomib (10 nM) and hTERT-Ad virotherapy…
