Biomarker-driven and gene-enhanced viral therapy for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor

Background: High-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) frequently lose Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), reducing the repressive histone mark, H3K27me3. We hypothesized that H3K27me3 loss sensitizes MPNST to oncolytic HSV due to impaired transcriptional resistance. HSV replication is also restricted by the integrated stress response, normally countered by HSV ICP34.5,…
