Oncolytic virotherapy is a novel and intriguing treatment strategy for cancer therapy. However, the clinical potential of oncolytic virus as single agent is limited. M1 virus is a promising oncolytic virus that has been tested in preclinical studies. In this study, we investigated the effect of the combination use of M1 virus and Bcl-2 family inhibitors. A chemical compounds screening including ten Bcl-2 family inhibitors demonstrated that pan-Bcl-2 inhibitors selectively augmented M1 virus oncolysis in cancer cells at very low doses. The mechanism of the enhanced antitumor effect of pan-Bcl-2 inhibitors with M1 virus is mainly due to the inhibition of Bcl-xL, which synergizes with M1-induced upregulation of Bak to trigger apoptosis. In xenograft mouse models and patient-derived tumor tissues, the combination of M1 and pan-Bcl-2 inhibitors significantly inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival, suggesting the potential therapeutic value of this strategy. These findings offer insights into the synergy between Bcl-xL inhibition and oncolytic virus M1 as a combination anticancer treatment modality.
