Epigenetic drugs are promising add‐ons to cancer treatment; still, adverse effects concerning tumour promotion have been reported occasionally. In this in vitro study, we investigated the effect of combination treatment of decitabine with anthracycline‐based chemotherapy [5‐fluorouracil plus epirubicine plus cyclophosphamide (FEC)] on viability and metastatic activity of breast cancer cell lines, MDA‐MB‐231 (estrogen receptor‐negative) and MCF‐7 (estrogen receptor‐positive). The effect of decitabine and its combined treatment with FEC on viability of both cancer cell lines was assessed using the 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazoliumbromide and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cell survival assays. DNA methylation specific real‐time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Methylight®) was employed to document the methylation status of the metastasis‐relevant urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐I (PAI‐1) genes. Additionally, protein expression levels of uPA and PAI‐1 were determined using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays. Invasion capacity of cells was assayed using Matrigel® invasion assay. Decitabine lowered the viability of MCF‐7 cells, although MDA‐MB‐231 cells were not affected. Decitabine did not augment FEC‐mediated cytotoxicity in both cell lines. In MCF‐7 cells, methylation of the uPA and PAI‐1 gene promoter was significantly reduced by decitabine or decitabine plus FEC. Protein levels of uPA and PAI‐1 were induced by all treatments. Decitabine significantly induced the invasion capacity of MCF‐7 cells, whereas all of the drugs resulted in decreased invasion capacity of MDA‐MB‐231. Our results suggest differential effects of single‐dose decitabine and its combination with FEC on the metastatic capacity and survival of breast cancer cell lines endowed with different metastatic behaviour.

Ginsenoside M1 (M1) was considered to be the main antitumor component of ginsenoside metabolites in the body. In order to enhance its potency on antitumor effect, three novel M1 3′–ester derivatives (1c, 2c, 3c) were synthesized and evaluated. The yield of these derivatives was between 41% and 69%. Compared with M1, 2c and 3c can improve the efficacy of the inhibition on breast cancer MCF–7 and MDA–MB–231 cells, especially for MCF–7 (fold: 0.7–4.2, p < 0.0001). Further study suggested that 2c and 3c may cause cell autophagy and promote apoptosis in MCF–7 cells. The results indicated the 3′–ester modified M1 derivatives 2c and 3c possess higher abilities of inhibition growth towards triple–positive breast cancer and provided a new source for synthesis of potential anti-breast cancer drugs. 相似文献

WD‐repeat proteins are implicated in a variety of biological functions, most recently in oncogenesis. However, the underlying function of WD‐repeat protein 41 (WDR41) in tumorigenesis remains elusive. The present study was aimed to explore the role of WDR41 in breast cancer. Combined with Western blotting and immunohistochemistry, the results showed that WDR41 was expressed at low levels in breast cancer, especially in triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). Using methylation‐specific PCR (MSP), we observed that WDR41 presented hypermethylation in MDA‐MB‐231 cells. Methylation inhibitor 5‐aza‐2′‐deoxycytidine (5‐aza‐dC) management increased the expression of WDR41 in MDA‐MB‐231 cells, but not in MCF‐10A (normal mammary epithelial cells) or oestrogen receptor‐positive MCF‐7 breast cancer cells. WDR41‐down‐regulation promoted, while WDR41‐up‐regulation inhibited the tumour characteristics of TNBC cells including cell viability, cell cycle and migration. Further, WDR41‐up‐regulation dramatically suppressed tumour growth in vivo. Mechanistically, WDR41 protein ablation activated, while WDR41‐up‐regulation repressed the AKT/GSK‐3β pathway and the subsequent nuclear activation of β‐catenin in MDA‐MB‐231 cells, and 5‐aza‐dC treatment enhanced this effect. After treatment with the AKT inhibitor MK‐2206, WDR41‐down‐regulation‐mediated activation of the GSK‐3β/β‐catenin signalling was robustly abolished. Collectively, methylated WDR41 in MDA‐MB‐231 cells promotes tumorigenesis through positively regulating the AKT/GSK‐3β/β‐catenin pathway, thus providing an important foundation for treating TNBC. 相似文献

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a decoy receptor for receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL) and TNF‐related apoptosis‐inducing ligand (TRAIL). While RANKL is essential for osteoclastogenesis and facilitates breast cancer migration into bone, TRAIL promotes breast cancer apoptosis. We analyzed the expression of OPG and TRAIL and its modulation in estrogen receptor‐positive MCF‐7 cells and receptor‐negative MDA‐MB‐231 cells. In both cells, OPG mRNA levels and protein secretion were dose‐ and time‐dependently enhanced by interleukin (IL)‐1β and suppressed by dexamethasone. In contrast to MCF‐7 cells, MDA‐MB‐231 abundantly expressed TRAIL mRNA, which was enhanced by IL‐1β and inhibited by dexamethasone. TRAIL activated pro‐apoptotic caspase‐3, ‐7, and poly‐ADP‐ribose polymerase and decreased cell numbers of MDA‐MB‐231, but had no effect on MCF‐7 cells. Gene silencing siRNA directed against OPG resulted in a 31% higher apoptotic rate compared to non‐target siRNA‐treated MDA‐MB‐231 cells. Furthermore, TRAIL induced significantly less apoptosis in cells cultured in conditioned media (containing OPG) compared to cells exposed to TRAIL in fresh medium lacking OPG (P < 0.01) and these protective effects were reversed by blocking OPG with its specific ligand RANKL (P < 0.05). The association between cancer cell survival and OPG production by MDA‐MB‐231 cells was further supported by the finding, that modulation of OPG secretion using IL‐1β or dexamethasone prior to TRAIL exposure resulted in decreased and increased rate of apoptosis, respectively (P < 0.05). Thus, OPG secretion by breast cancer cells is modulated by cytokines and dexamethasone, and may represent a critical resistance mechanism that protects against TRAIL‐induced apoptosis. J. Cell.

A series of coumarin‐tagged β‐lactam triazole hybrids ( 10a – 10o ) were synthesized and tested for their cytotoxic activity against MDA‐MB‐231 (triple negative breast cancer), MCF‐7 (estrogen receptor positive breast cancer (ER+)) and A549 (human lung carcinoma) cancer cell lines including one normal cell line, HEK‐293 (human embryonic kidney). Two compounds 10b and 10d exhibited substantial cytotoxic effect against MCF‐7 cancer cell lines with IC50 values of 53.55 and 58.62 μm , respectively. More importantly, compounds 10b and 10d were non‐cytotoxic against HEK‐293 cell lines. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies suggested that the nitro and chloro group at the C‐3 position of phenyl ring are favorable for anticancer activity, particularly against MCF‐7 cell lines. Furthermore, antimicrobial evaluation of these compounds revealed modest inhibition of examined pathogenic strains with compounds 10c and 10i being the most promising antimicrobial agents against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans, respectively. 相似文献

To investigate the effects of PA‐MSHA (Pseudomonas aeruginosa‐mannose sensitive hemagglutinin) on inhibiting proliferation of breast cancer cell lines and to explore its mechanisms of action in human breast cancer cells. MCF‐10A, MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐468, and MDA‐MB‐231HM cells were treated with PA‐MSHA or PA (Heat‐killed P. aeruginosa) at different concentrations and different times. Changes of cell super‐microstructure were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induced by PA‐MSHA were measured by flow cytometry (FCM) with PI staining, ANNEXIN V‐FITC staining and Hoechst33258 staining under fluorescence microscopy. Western blot was used to evaluate the expression level of apoptosis‐related molecules. A time‐dependent and concentration‐dependent cytotoxic effect of PA‐MSHA was observed in MDA‐MB‐468 and MDA‐MB‐231HM cells but not in MCF‐10A or MCF‐7 cells. The advent of PA‐MSHA changed cell morphology, that is to say, increases in autophagosomes, and vacuoles in the cytoplasm could also be observed. FCM with PI staining, ANNEXIN V‐FITC and Hoechst33258 staining showed that the different concentrations of PA‐MSHA could all induce the apoptosis and G0–G1 cell cycle arrest of breast cancer cells. Cleaved caspase 3, 8, 9, and Fas protein expression levels were strongly associated with an increase in apoptosis of the breast cancer cells. There was a direct relationship with increased concentrations of PA‐MSHA but not of PA. Completely different from PA, PA‐MSHA may impart antiproliferative effects against breast cancer cells by inducing apoptosis mediated by at least a death receptor‐related cell apoptosis signal pathway, and affecting the cell cycle regulation machinery.

Taking into account the rising trend of the incidence of cancers of various organs, effective therapies are urgently needed to control human malignancies. However, almost all chemotherapy drugs currently on the market cause serious side effects. Fortunately, several studies have shown that some non‐toxic biological macromolecules, including algal polysaccharides, possess anti‐cancer activities or can increase the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy drugs. Polysaccharides are characteristic secondary metabolites of many algae. The efficacy of polysaccharides on the normal and cancer cells is not well investigated, but our investigations proved a cell specific effect of a newly isolated extracellular polysaccharide from the red microalga Porphyridium sordidum. The investigated substance was composed of xylose:glucose and galactose:manose:rhamnose in a molar ratio of 1:0.52:0.44:0.31. Reversible electroporation has been exploited to increase the transport through the plasma membrane into the tested breast cancer tumor cells MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB231. Application of 75 µg/mL polysaccharide in combination with 200 V/cm electroporation induced 40% decrease in viability of MDA‐MB231 cells and changes in cell morphology while control cells (MCF10A) remained with normal morphology and kept vitality. 相似文献

In our study, we aimed to investigate the role of CDR1as during competitive inhibition of miR‐7 in the regulation of cisplatin chemosensitivity in breast cancer via regulating REGγ. RT‐qPCR was applied to detect the expression of CDR1as and miR‐7 in breast cancer tissues, breast cancer cell lines and corresponding drug‐resistant cell lines. The correlation between CDR1as and miR‐7 and between miR‐7 and REGγ was evaluated. MCF‐7‐R and MDA‐MB‐231‐R cells were selected followed by transfection of a series of mimics, inhibitors or siRNA. The effect of CDR1as on the half maximal inhibitor concentration (IC50), cisplatin sensitivity and cell apoptosis was also analysed. Furthermore, a subcutaneous xenograft nude mouse model was established to further confirm the effect of CDR1as on the chemosensitivity of breast cancer to cisplatin in vivo. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted to test the Ki‐67 expression in nude mice. A positive correlation was found between the drug resistance and CDR1as expression in breast cancer. CDR1as could increase the resistance of breast cancer cells to cisplatin. miR‐7 expression was low, while REGγ was highly expressed in MCF‐7‐R and MDA‐MB‐231‐R cells. CDR1as competitively inhibited miR‐7 and up‐regulated REGγ. Overexpression of miR‐7 could reverse the enhanced sensitivity of silenced CDR1as to drug‐resistant breast cancer cells. Additionally, in vivo experiments demonstrated that CDR1as mediated breast cancer occurrence and its sensitivity to cisplatin. Silencing CDR1as decreased Ki‐67 expression. Silencing CDR1as may inhibit the expression of REGγ by removing the competitive inhibitory effect on miR‐7 and thus enhancing the sensitivity of drug‐resistant breast cancer cells. 相似文献

Aberrant constitutive expression of the NF‐κB c‐Rel and RelA subunits in breast cancer cells was shown to promote their survival. Recently, we demonstrated that aggressive breast cancers constitutively express high levels of the RelB subunit, which promotes their more invasive phenotype via induction of the BCL2 gene. As these cancers are frequently resistant to therapy, here we tested the hypothesis that RelB promotes their survival. High RelB expressing Hs578T and MDA‐MB‐231 breast cancer cells were more resistant to γ‐radiation than MCF7 and ZR‐75 cells, which express lower RelB levels. Knockdown of RelB in Hs578T led to decreased survival in response to γ‐irradiation, while conversely ectopic expression of RelB in MCF7 cells protected these cells from radiation. Similar data were obtained upon treatment of Hs578T or MCF7 cells with the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin. High serum levels of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D are associated with decreased breast cancer risk and mortality, although, the mechanisms of its protective actions have not been fully elucidated. Treatment of Hs578T and Her‐2/neu‐driven NF639 cells with 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3 decreased RelB/RELB gene expression and levels of pro‐survival targets Survivin, MnSOD and Bcl‐2, while increasing their sensitivity to γ‐irradiation. Thus, RelB, which promotes survival and a more highly invasive phenotype of breast cancer cells, is a target of 1,25‐dihydroxyvitamin D3, providing one mechanism for the observed protective role of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D in patients with breast cancer.

The in vitro cytotoxic activity on human cancer cell lines of sixteen commercial EOs such as Aloysia citriodora, Boswellia sacra, Boswellia serrata, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Cistus ladanifer, Citrus × aurantium, Citrus limon, Citrus sinensis, Cymbopogon citratus, Foeniculum vulgare, Illicium verum, Litsea cubeba, Satureja montana, Syzygium aromaticum, Thymus capitatus and Thymus vulgaris was performed using the MTT reduction assay. The screening was carried out on human cancer cells of breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7, T47D and MDA‐MB‐231), chronic myelogenous erythroleukemia (K562) and neuroblastoma cell lines (SH‐SY5Y). C. zeylanicum and L. cubeba EOs were the most active on almost all the cell lines studied and thus could be promising as an anticancer agent. These two species showed a difference in their composition even though they belong to the Lauraceae family. Almost 57 % of the true cinnamon composition was made of (E)‐cinnamaldehyde, while L. cubeba showed citral as the major compound (68.9 %). The K562 cells were the most sensitive to these oils with an IC50 ranging from 5.2 parts‐per million (ppm) (C. zeylanicum) to 11.1 ppm (L. cubeba). The latter oil also showed an important cytotoxicity on MDA‐MB‐231 (13.4 ppm). 相似文献

Chemotherapy is one of the standard strategies for treatment of breast cancer. Adriamycin (Dox) is a first‐line chemotherapy agent for breast cancer. However, the gastrointestinal reactions, myocardial toxicity and other side effects caused by Dox due to its un‐specific cytotoxicity limit the clinical treatment effect. To address this need, aptamer has been regarded as an ideal target molecular carrier. In the present study, we selected an aptamer 5TR1 that can specifically bind to the MUC1 protein which has been regarded as an important tumor biomarker, as well as a potential target in anticancer therapies. Dox was loaded on the modified 5TR1‐GC, which specifically targets breast cancer cell MDA‐MB‐231. Cell viability and apoptosis assays demonstrated that the 5TR1‐GC‐Dox exhibited target specificity of cytotoxicity in MDA‐MB‐231. Moreover, in vivo xenograft study also confirmed that 5TR1‐GC‐Dox had a more effective effect on tumor growth inhibition and induced the apoptosis of malignant tumor cells compared to Dox. We provided a novel experimental and theoretical basis for developing an aptamer targeted drug system, thus to promote the killing effect of drugs on breast cells and to reduce the damage to normal cells and tissues for breast cancer. 相似文献

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed tumor type and the primary leading cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide and multidrug resistance is the major obstacle for breast cancer treatment improvement. Emerging evidence suggests that metformin, the most widely used antidiabetic drug, resensitizes and cooperates with some anticancer drugs to exert anticancer effect. However, there are no data regarding the reversal effect of metformin on chemoresistance in breast cancer. In the present study, we investigated the resistance reversal effect of metformin on acquired multidrug-resistant breast cancer cells MCF-7/5-Fu derived from MCF-7 breast cancer cells and innate multidrug-resistant MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells, and we found that metformin resensitized MCF7/5-FU and MDA-MB-231 to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), adriamycin, and paclitaxel. We also observed that metformin reversed epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype and decreased the invasive capacity of MCF7/5-FU and MDA-MB-231 cells. However, there were no significant changes upon metformin-treated MCF7 cells. Moreover, we found metformin treatment activated AMPK signal pathway in MCF7/5-FU and MDA-MB-231 cells and compound C, the AMPK inhibitor, could partly abolish the resensitization and EMT reversal effect of metformin. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to report that metformin can resensitize multidrug-resistant breast cancer cells due to activating AMPK signal pathway. Our study will help elucidate the mechanism of chemoresistance and establish new strategies of chemotherapy for human breast cancer. 相似文献

Breast cancer constitutes the second most prevalent cancer in Egypt, the problem needs more trends in treatment and treatment development either by regimen modification or introducing new drugs, and the main objective of this study is to screen the effects of the aqueous ethanol herbal extract of Luffa cylindrica leaves on different types of breast cancer cell lines representing different molecular subtypes of the disease. The major active constituents of the extract were tentatively identified by LC/MS which revealed the presence of phenolic compound derivatives and saponin that may be responsible in part for the activity of the extract. The emphasis was laid on the main apoptotic pathways as well as the extract effect on the normal cell line. Results of phytochemical investigation, cell cycle analysis, and molecular analysis of apoptotic and proliferative markers have shown effective anticancer activity against MCF‐7, BT‐474, and MDA‐MB‐231 cell lines which represent three subtypes of breast cancer, luminal A, luminal B, and triple negative, respectively. On the other hand, the effects on normal lung fibroblast cell line are less prominent at the dose used for treating breast cancer cell lines. 相似文献

Numb is known as a cell fate determinant as it identifies the direction of cell differentiation via asymmetrical partitioning during mitosis. It is considered as a tumour suppressor, and a frequent loss of Numb expression in breast cancer is noted. Numb forms a tri‐complex with p53 and E3 ubiquitin ligase HDM2 (also known as MDM2), thereby preventing the ubiquitination and degradation of p53. In this study, we examined Numb expression in 125 patients with triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). The results showed that 61 (48.8%) patients presented with a deficient or decreased Numb expression. The percentage of Ki67 > 14% in the retained Numb group was significantly lower than that in the decreased and deficient Numb groups (86.00% vs. 98.40%, P = .0171). This study aimed to detect the expression and migration of Numb, HDM2 and p53 in the membrane, cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions of normal mammary epithelial cell line MCF‐10A and basal‐like TNBC cell line MDA‐MB‐231. We obtained the cell fractions to identify changes in these three protein levels after the re‐expression of NUMB in the MDA‐MB‐231 cells and the knocking down of NUMB in the MCF‐10A cells. Results showed that Numb regulates p53 levels in the nucleus where the protein levels of Numb are positively correlated with p53 levels, regardless if it is re‐expressed in the MDA‐MB‐231 cells or knocked down in the MCF‐10A cells. Moreover, HDM2 was remarkably decreased only in the membrane fraction of NUMB knock‐down cells; however, its mRNA levels were increased significantly. Our results reveal a previously unknown molecular mechanism that Numb can migrate into the nucleus and interact with HDM2 and p53. 相似文献

Anti-breast cancer action of novel human carbonic anhydrase IX (hCA IX) inhibitor BSM-0004 has been investigated using in vitro and in vivo models of breast cancer. BSM-0004 was found to be a potent and selective hCA IX inhibitor with a Ki value of 96 nM. In vitro anticancer effect of BSM-0004 was analysed against MCF 7 and MDA-MA-231 cells, BSM-0004 exerted an effective cytotoxic effect under normoxic and hypoxic conditions, inducing apoptosis in MCF 7 cells. Additionally, this compound significantly regulates the expression of crucial biomarkers associated with apoptosis. The investigation was extended to confirm the efficacy of this hCA IX inhibitor against in vivo model of breast cancer. The results specified that the treatment of BSM-0004 displayed an effective in vivo anticancer effect, reducing tumour growth in a xenograft cancer model. Hence, our investigation delivers an effective anti-breast cancer agent that engenders the anticancer effect by inhibiting hCA IX. 相似文献
