MAGNETS MADE BY SOIL BACTERIA OFFER HOPE FOR BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCER

In a “bugs as drugs” approach, British medical researchers are using living bacterial magnets to guide viruses engineered to attack cancer tumours.

This process has been shown to be able to successfully attack prostate and breast cancer cancers, and has been awarded the Roger Griffin prize for cancer drug discovery.

Known as an “oncolytic virus”, it naturally occurs in nature, but can be modified to improve its efficacy and limit its virality. It causes cancer cells to burst open and die. However, like all other viruses, they also attract the host’s immune system, meaning if they don’t reach their target fast enough, they can be consumed by immune cells.

Oncologists have successfully used a kind of fat cell known as a liposome to coat and transport intravenous oncolytic viruses, which allows them to be taken up more quickly into tumorous areas.

Researchers at the Sheffield Group, funded by Cancer Research UK, have also found they can guide the viruses more quickly if they’re coated with magnetised particles. Unbelievably, engineers can make magnets fifty one-billionths of a metre, with which to arm the oncolytic viruses. But there’s a much cheaper and easier way of doing this.

It is by using a kind of microbe found in soil that absorbs iron oxides to align itself with Earth’s magnetic field, called magnetosomes.

“These microscopic magnets are perfectly shaped and ideally suited to the microscopic packages we need to target deep cancers,” says Dr Faith Howard, a project leader at the Sheffield Group.
