Figure Lengend Snippet: Virotherapeutic treatment of GFP/luc-labeled human HT-29 tumor cells in cell culture with GLV-0b347. ( A ) Schematic illustration of the three-step virotherapeutic process and associated detection capabilities: (1) GFP/luc-labeled HT-29 tumor cells were seeded into a 24-well cell culture plate. Successful plating of the cells can be verified by the determination of GFP fluorescence. (2) The treatment of HT-29 cells with oncolytic viruses encoding a red-fluorescent marker protein. The successful infection of the tumor cells can be verified by the determination of red fluorescence. (3)/(4) The viral oncolysis can be determined by a decrease in GFP as well as in luciferase activity. Over time, enhanced red fluorescence indicates an increasing number of tumor cells being infected by the red-fluorescence marker gene encoding virotherapeutic compounds. ( B ) The fluorescence images of HT-29 GFP/luc-labeled cells at 72 h postinfection (hpi) with GLV-0b347 at different multiplicities of infection (MOIs), as depicted. BF, brightfield; OL, overlay of GFP and TurboFP635 signal.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Comparison of different detection options for the oncolytic activity of virotherapeutic compounds GLV-0b347 ( A , images to the left) and MeV-DsRed ( B , images to the right) in HT-29 GFP/luc tumor cells. HT-29 GFP/luc cells were infected with GLV-0b347 ( A ) or MeV-DsRed ( B ) at different multiplicities of infection (MOIs) ranging from 0.0001 to 1 for GLV-0b347, from 0.001 to 10 for MeV-DsRed, or remained uninfected (MOCK). At 72 h postinfection (hpi), remaining tumor cell masses were determined by either (i) SRB viability assays, (ii) the measurement of the luciferase activity, or (iii) the quantification of the GFP or red-fluorescence intensity. Each measurement was calculated relative to the MOCK control. The mean ± SD of at least two independent experiments performed in triplicate is shown. ANOVA test relative to MOCK-infected control: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001.

( A ) Photographic image of the human ex vivo peritoneal model cultivated between stainless steel rings in a 24-well plate. ( B ) Photographic image of the peritoneum in the ex vivo model through a light microscope. ( C ) (1) Preparation of co-cultures of the peritoneum from noncancer patients and human GFP/luc-labeled HT-29 tumor cells. Successful plating of the cells can be verified by fluorescence microscopy. (2) Virotherapeutic treatment of co-cultures with oncolytic viruses carrying a red-fluorescent marker protein. Successful infection of the tumor cells can be verified by the determination of red fluorescence via fluorescence microscopy. (3) Viral oncolysis can be determined by a decrease in GFP and red fluorescence as well as by a decrease in luciferase activity.
