Intravesical BCG in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer induces trained immunity and decreases respiratory infections by J Alfred Witjes, Alina Vrieling, Mihai G Netea, Leo A B Joosten, Katja K H Aben, Sita H Vermeulen, Joost L Boormans, Antoine G van der Heijden, Boris Novakovic, Jelmer H van Puffelen, Liesbeth van Emst, Denise Kooper, Tahlita C M Zuiverloon, Ursula T H Oldenhof, Tessel E Galesloot, Lambertus A L M Kiemeney, Egbert Oosterwijk

“…An epigenomics approach combining chromatin immuno precipitation-sequencing and RNA-sequencing with in vitro trained immunity experiments identified enhanced inflammasome activity in BCG-treated individuals. Finally, germline variation in genes that affect trained immunity was associated with recurrence and progression after BCG therapy in NMIBC.Conclusion We conclude that BCG immunotherapy induces trained immunity in NMIBC patients and this may account for the protective effects against respiratory infections. …”
