The invention relates to the technical field of biological medicines, and particularly discloses application of an adeno-associated
virus vector in preparation of a
medicine for treating
ovarian cancer. The adeno-associated
virus vector comprises a modified AAV2
capsid and
polynucleotide which is loaded in the modified AAV2
capsid and carries a therapeutic
gene; wherein the EC1 targeting
peptide is inserted into the
amino terminal of the VP2
protein of the AAV2
capsid, and the VP1
protein has R585A and R588A mutations. Compared with a conventional
virus vector, the vector can specifically target the
ovarian cancer cells, efficient infection is achieved, the infection capacity of the vector on normal tissues such as the liver is remarkably reduced, and the vector has the
advantage in the aspect of safety. In-vivo experiments show that by combining
caudal vein injection of the adeno-associated virus vector carrying the HSV-TK with
ganciclovir, tumor proliferation of mice with
ovarian cancer transplanted tumors can be remarkably inhibited, and tissue organs such as
liver and kidney of the mice are not obviously damaged.
