Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The heterogeneity and mutations exhibited by prostate cancer cells often results in the progression to incurable metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Our previous investigations demonstrated that the virus-like particles (VLPs) of JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) can deliver exogenous genes to prostate cancer cells for expression. JCPyV VLPs packaging pPSAtk (PSAtk-VLPs) possess the ability to transcriptionally target and selectively induce cytotoxicity in prostate cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, as pPSAtk can only express the thymidine kinase gene, a suicide gene, in androgen receptor-positive cells. To further investigate whether PSAtk-VLPs inhibit the growth of metastasized prostate cancer cells, we established an animal model of bone-metastatic prostate cancer to compare PSAtk-VLPs with leuprorelin acetate and enzalutamide, hormonal agents commonly used in clinical settings, and investigated the effectiveness of PSAtk-VLPs. In the present study, we observed that PSAtk-VLPs effectively inhibited the growth of prostate cancer cells that had metastasized to the bone in the metastatic animal model. In addition, PSAtk-VLPs showed a higher effectiveness than hormone therapy in this animal model study. These results suggest that PSAtk-VLPs may serve as a treatment option for mCRPC therapy in the future.
