Recent studies suggested that the androgen receptor (AR) might play important roles to influence the bladder cancer (BCa) progression, yet its clinical application remains unclear. Here we developed a new combined therapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and the AR degradation enhancer ASC-J9® or anti-androgen hydroxyflutamide (HF) to better suppress the BCa progression. Mechanism dissection revealed that ASC-J9® treatment enhanced BCG efficacy to suppress BCa cell proliferation via increasing the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages that involved the promotion of BCG attachment/internalization to the BCa cells through increased integrin-α5β1 expression and IL-6 release. Such consequences might then enhance BCG-induced BCa cell death via increased TNF-α release. Interestingly, we also found ASC-J9® treatment could directly promote BCG-induced HMGB1 release to enhance the BCG cytotoxic effects for the suppression of BCa cell growth. In vivo approaches also concluded that ASC-J9® could enhance the BCG efficacy to better suppress the BCa progression in BBN-induced BCa mouse models. Together, these results suggest that the newly developed therapy combining BCG plusASC-J9® may become a novel therapy to better suppress BCa progress.
