Oncolytic virotherapies (OV) hold immense clinical potential. OV based on human adenoviruses (HAdV) derived from HAdV with naturally low rates of pre-existing immunity will be beneficial for future clinical translation. We generated a low-seroprevalence HAdV-D10 serotype vector incorporating an αvβ6 integrin-selective peptide, A20, to target αvβ6-positive tumor cell types. HAdV-D10 has limited natural tropism. Structural and biological studies of HAdV-D10 knob protein highlighted low-affinity engagement with native adenoviral receptors CAR and sialic acid. HAdV-D10 fails to engage blood coagulation factor X, potentially eliminating "off-target" hepatic sequestration . We engineered an A20 peptide that selectively binds αvβ6 integrin into the DG loop of HAdV-D10 fiber knob. Assays in αvβ6+ cancer cell lines demonstrated significantly increased transduction mediated by αvβ6-targeted variants compared with controls, confirmed microscopically. HAdV-D10.A20 resisted neutralization by neutralizing HAdV-C5 sera. Systemic delivery of HAdV-D10.A20 resulted in significantly increased GFP expression in BT20 tumors. Replication-competent HAdV-D10.A20 demonstrated αvβ6 integrin-selective cell killing and . HAdV-D10 possesses characteristics of a promising virotherapy, combining low seroprevalence, weak receptor interactions, and reduced off-target uptake. Incorporation of an αvβ6 integrin-selective peptide resulted in HAdV-D10.A20, with significant potential for clinical translation.

Purpose: αvβ6 integrin is exclusively expressed in epithelial cells and is upregulated in many carcinomas, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (H&NSCCs). Trivehexin is a recently synthesized trimerized αvβ6 integrin selective nonapeptide, which can be labeled with a positron emitter like 68 Ga. This is a pilot study to assess the potential role of 68 Ga-Trivehexin PET/CT in patients with H&NSCC and PDAC and their correlation with αvβ6 integrin expression by the tumor tissue on immunohistochemistry (IHC).

"RGD" is frequently pictured as a ligand for αvβ3-integrin and useful for molecular targeting of angiogenesis-which is about as simplistic as the idea that laser beams are green or red and particularly useful for arming spaceships. There is, however, much more to RGD. In particular, targeting angiogenesis is likely not the most significant stronghold of RGD-comprising constructs.

Titanium is considered to be the most essential metal in the field of implantology. The main factors determining metal biocompatibility, among others, include the morphology and chemical composition of the titanium surface. Therefore, the aim of this work was to develop approaches to control the biological activity of the titanium surface by creating coatings that combine both an inorganic phase with a given morphology and organic molecules containing an integrin-selective peptide that regulate cell adhesion and proliferation.

Expression of the cellular transmembrane receptor αvβ6 integrin is mostly restricted to malignant epithelial cells in a wide variety of carcinomas, including pancreatic and others derived from epithelial tissues. Thus, this protein is considered an attractive target for tumour imaging and therapy. Two different Ga hexadentate tris (3,4-hydroxypyridinone) (THP) chelators were produced in this study and coupled to the αvβ6 integrin-selective peptide (FRGDLAFp(NMe)K) NHS chemistry.
