Introduction to Oncolytic Bacteria Therapy

Oncolytic bacterial therapy is an emerging cancer treatment approach that selectively infects cancer cells, releases anti-tumor factors, or activates the immune system to achieve therapeutic effects. In recent years, it has gradually become a research hotspot in the field of tumor therapy due to its unique targeting and immune activation capabilities.

As an innovative approach in cancer treatment, oncolytic bacterial therapy demonstrates distinct advantages compared to conventional therapies:

  • Tumor Selectivity: Oncolytic bacteria selectively infect and colonize malignant cells while sparing healthy tissues, leveraging unique tumor microenvironment conditions (e.g., hypoxia, immunosuppression) for targeted action.
  • Immune Activation: Through tumor cell lysis, these bacteria release tumor-associated antigens and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), triggering dendritic cell maturation and cytotoxic T-cell responses, thereby amplifying systemic antitumor immunity.
  • Synergistic Therapeutic Effects: Preclinical studies confirm enhanced efficacy when combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy, attributed to bacterial-induced tumor vascular normalization and microenvironment remodeling.

Workflow of Oncolytic Bacteria Therapy Development

Bacterial Strain Screening

  • Providing a variety of candidate strain libraries (such as Salmonella, Listeria, etc.) and screen out the optimal strains based on your target tumor type.
  • Providing toxicity assessment and infection tests to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the strains.

Genetic Engineering in Bacteria

  • Designing genetic engineering schemes for oncolytic bacteria, including toxin gene insertion, immune activation factor expression, tumor-targeting molecule modification, etc.
  • Providing a variety of expression vectors and promoter libraries to support personalized modification needs.

In Vitro Functional Validation

  • Testing the infectivity, toxin release ability, immune activation effect, etc., of oncolytic bacteria in vitro environments.
  • Providing a variety of cell models (such as cancer cell lines, immune cell co-culture models).

In Vivo Efficacy Evaluation

  • Evaluating the anti-tumor effects, safety, and immune activation ability of oncolytic bacteria in animal models.
  • Providing a variety of tumor models (such as subcutaneous tumor models, orthotopic tumor models)
