Dimethylcurcumin (formerly known as ASC-J9; GO-Y025) is an androgen receptor (AR) degradation enhancer that effectively suppresses castration resistant prostate cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Dimethylcurcumin suppresses renal cell carcinoma progression by targeting an androgen receptor-dependent HIF2α/VEGF signaling pathway.ASC-J9 treatment enhanced BCG efficacy to suppress bladder cancer cell proliferation via increasing the recruitment of monocytes/macrophages that involved the promotion of BCG attachment/internalization to the bladder cancer cells through increased integrin-α5β1 expression and IL6 release.

| ln Vitro |
In a range of human PCa cells, dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) can degrade fAR and AR3 in a dose-dependent manner. In CWR22Rv1-fARKD cells, dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) can also efficiently block genes that are targeted by AR. In all three PCa cell lines, dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) (5 or 10 µM) effectively reduced DHT-induced cell proliferation. Dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) breaks down fAR and ectopic AR3 in C81 and C4-2 cells, which suppresses the development of cells and genes targeted by AR [1]. Dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) breaks off the connection between AR and AR coregulators, hence preferentially promoting the degradation of AR. Cells accumulate less AR when ASC-J9 AR-112Q is present. SBMA PC12/AR-112Q cell aggregation of AR-112Q is inhibited by dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) [2].

| ln Vivo |
In xenograft tumors, dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) (75 mg/kg, i.p.) degrades fAR and AR3, and tumors treated with SC-J9 exhibit a significant reduction in Ki67-positive cells [1]. In AR-97Q mice, intraperitoneal injections of 50 mg/kg dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) every 48 hours markedly reduced the symptoms of SBMA and enhanced neuromuscular pathology. Serum testosterone concentrations in SBMA animals treated with dimethylcurcumin (ASC-J9) are comparatively normal [2]. When compared to mice getting traditional ADT/castration with low serum androgen levels, mice treated with ASC-J9 showed noticeably reduced prostate tumor sizes [3].

| Enzyme Assay |
Western Blot Analysis, Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction, and Luciferase Reporter Assay [1]
Cells were cultured and treated with or without ASC-J9 for 24 hours in 10% charcoal-dextran-stripped fetal bovine serum (CD-FBS) media. Cell lysates were harvested and subjected to Western blot analysis. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed in triplicate with a Bio-Rad iCycler system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA); and messenger RNA (mRNA) levels of PSA, TMPRSS2, FKBP5, and GAPDH were measured. Cells were transiently transfected with mouse mammary tumor virus luciferase reporter (MMTV-Luc) or ARE4-Luc plus pRL-TK as internal control. Luciferase activities were measured using GloMax 20/20 Luminometer (Promega, Madison, WI). |
| Cell Assay |
Cell Growth Assay[1]
Cells were treated with vehicle, 1 nM dihydrotestosterone (DHT), 5 µM Casodex, and 5 or 10 µM ASC-J9 in 10% CD-FBS medium. The media were replenished every other day, and we followed the standard MTT assay protocol. |
| Animal Protocol |
In Vivo Tumor Growth Assay [1]
Animal procedures were conducted in accordance with the protocol approved by the University of Rochester Committee on Animal Resources. CWR22Rv1 cells (1 x 106 cells per site) were injected into both anterior prostates (orthotopic) of castrated nude mouse after 2 weeks of implantation. The mice were randomly divided into two groups (four mice/eight tumors each group) and either received 75 mg/kg ASC-J9 intraperitoneal injection or vehicle control every other day. After 4 weeks of treatment, all mice were killed to examine the tumor growth. Body weights and mice activity were measured weekly. |
