Herein we present a novel molecular mechanism of the antitumor effects of live-attenuated measles virus (MV) vaccine in ovarian cancer. Using a 2-DE/MS-based comparative proteomics strategy, we identified 17 proteins differentially expressed in live-attenuated MV vaccine-treated SKOV-3 ovarian cancer cells, including oxidative stress-associated enzymes and cell contact-related proteins, which indicated that live-attenuated MV vaccine could induce aberrant ROS activation. It further mediated epigenetic silencing of E-cadherin via upregulating DNMT3a that conferred both cell-cell and cell-matrix contact loss and apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. This process could be reversed through ROS inhibition. Our study lays the theoretical foundation for the clinical application of live-attenuated MV vaccine as a potential oncotherapeutic agent for ovarian cancer treatment.
