A novel library of coumarin tagged 1,3,4 oxadiazole conjugates was synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. The evaluation studies revealed that compound 9d was the most potent molecule with an IC50 value of <5?µM against the MCF-7 cell line. Interestingly, compounds 10b and 11a showed a similar trend with lower inhibitory concentration (IC50?=?7.07?µM), in Estrogen Negative (ER?) cells than Estrogen Positive (ER+) cells. Structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that conjugates bearing benzyl moieties (9b, 9c and 9d) had superior activities compared to their alkyl analogues. The most potent compound 9d showed ~1.4?times more potent activity than tamoxifen against MCF-7 cell line; while the introduction of sulfone unit in compounds 11a, 11b and 11c resulted in significant cytotoxicity against both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. These results were further supported by docking studies, which revealed that the stronger binding affinity of the synthesized conjugates is due to the presence of sulfone unit attached to the substituted benzyl moiety in their pharmacophores.  相似文献

A series of spirochromenocarbazole tethered 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized via click chemistry based one-pot, five component reaction between N-propargyl isatins, malononitrile, 4-hydroxycarbazole, aralkyl halides and sodium azide using cellulose supported CuI nanoparticles (Cell-CuI NPs) as the heterogeneous catalyst. Antiproliferative activity of all the synthesized compounds was investigated against panel of cancer cell lines such as MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, HeLa, PANC-1, A-549, and THP-1. Many of the synthesized compounds exhibited good anti-proliferative activity against breast (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) and cervical (HeLa) cancer cells with IC50 values less than 10 μM. In case of MCF-7 cells, among the nine compounds that showed good anti-proliferative activity, compounds 6f and 6j were found to be highly potent (IC50 = 2.13 μM and 4.80 μM, respectively). In case of MDA-MB-231, three compounds (6k, 6j and 6s) showed antiproliferative activity amongst which 6k was the most potent one (IC50 = 3.78 μM). On the other hand, in cervical cancer HeLa cells, compounds 6b, 6g, 6s and 6u showed excellent antiproliferative activity (IC50 = 4.05, 3.54, 3.83, 3.35 μM, respectively). All the compounds were found to be nontoxic to the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). AO and EtBr staining and fluorescence microscopy studies of the active compounds (IC50 < 5 μM) suggested that these compounds induce cell death by apoptosis.  相似文献

A series of novel chalcones and bis-chalcones containing boronic acid moieties has been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity against the human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 (estrogen receptor-negative) and MCF7 (estrogen receptor-positive) cell lines and against two normal breast epithelial cell lines, MCF-10A and MCF-12A. These molecules inhibited the growth of the human breast cancer cell lines at low micromolar to nanomolar concentrations, with five of them (1-4, 9) showing preferential inhibition of the human breast cancer cell lines. Furthermore, bis-chalcone 8 exhibited a more potent inhibition of colon cancer cells expressing wild-type p53 than of an isogenic cell line that was p53-null.  相似文献

The aim of the study was to discover possible differential cytotoxicity of triptolide towards estrogen-sensitive MCF-7 versus estrogen-insensitive MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells. Considering that MCF-7 cells express functional Estrogen receptor α (ERα) and wild-type p53, whereas MDA-MB-231 cells which are ERα-negative express mutant p53, the anti-proliferation effect of triptolide on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were examined, the apoptotic effect and cell cycle arrest caused by triptolide were investigated, ERα and p53 expression were also observed in this paper. The results showed that the anti-proliferation effects were induced by triptolide in both cell lines. But the value of IC50 in MCF-7 cells for its anti-proliferation effect was about one tenth of that in MDA-MB-231 cells, which indicated that the effect is more potent in MCF-7 cells. Condensed chromatin or fragmented nuclei could be found in MCF-7 cells treated with only 40 nM triptolide but in MDA-MB-231 cells they couldn’t be observed until the concentration reached to 400 nM. Triptolide induced significant S cell cycle arrest along with the presence of sub-G0/G1 peak in MDA-MB-231 cells, whereas there was only slightly S cell cycle arrest on cell cycle distribution in MCF-7 cells. The role of p53 in two breast cancer cells was examined, the results showed that the mutant p53 in MDA-MB-231 cells was suppressed and the wild-type p53 in MCF-7 was increased. Moreover, triptolide could down regulate the expression of ERα in MCF-7 cells. The results showed that triptolide is much more sensitive to ERα-positive MCF-7 cells than to ERα-negative MDA-MB-231 cells, and the sensitivity is significantly associated with the ERα and p53 status.  相似文献

Natural isoflavones have demonstrated numerous pharmacological activities in breast cancer cells, including antiproliferative activities and binding affinities for estrogen receptors (ERs). Chemical modifications on the isoflavone ring system have been prepared and explored for the development of new therapeutics for hormone-dependent breast cancer. The antiproliferative actions of the synthesized isoflavones on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were examined, as well as cytotoxicity, interaction with estrogen receptors, and proapoptotic activity. The compounds were screened in the absence and in the presence of estradiol to evaluate whether or not estradiol could rescue cell proliferation on MCF-7 cells. Several compounds were able to inhibit cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, and compounds containing the bulky 7-phenylmethoxy substituent resulted in cell toxicity not only in MCF-7 cells but also in MDA-MB-231 cells. Selected synthetic isoflavones were able to bind to estrogen receptor with low affinity. Apoptotic pathways were also activated by these compounds in breast cancer cells. The majority of the compounds can bind to both ERs with low affinity, and their effects on hormone-independent breast cancer cells suggest that their ability to inhibit cell growth in breast cancer cells is not exclusively mediated by ERs. Thus, the synthetic trisubstituted isoflavones act on multiple signaling pathways leading to activation of mechanisms of cell-death and ultimately affecting breast cancer cell survival.  相似文献

A small library of novel benzocoumarin derivatives based on naturally occurring neo-tanshinlactone scaffold was constructed and their antiproliferative activities against breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 were evaluated. A number of derivatives showed good anti-breast cancer activity, in some cases higher to that of the reference compound tamoxifen. In particular, benzocoumarins Bc-5, Bc-8 and Bc-9 strongly inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cancer cell line with the IC(50) values of 3.8, 7.9 and 6.5 μM, respectively. The compounds were capable of inducing nuclear fragmentation, cell cycle arrest and caspase dependent apoptosis in MCF-7 cell lines. In addition, these derivatives were devoid of cytotoxic effect against normal osteoblast cells. These synthetic benzocoumarins hold promises for developing safer alternative to the existing anti-breast cancer agents.  相似文献

Lack of estrogen receptor (ER) and presence of vimentin (VIM) associate with poor prognosis in human breast cancer. We have explored the relationships between ER, VIM, and invasiveness in human breast cancer cell lines. In the matrigel outgrowth assay, ER+/VIM- (MCF-7, T47D, ZR-75-1), and ER-/VIM- (MDA-MB-468, SK-Br-3) cell lines were uninvasive, while ER-/VIM+ (BT549, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435, MDA-MB-436, Hs578T) lines formed invasive, penetrating colonies. Similarly, ER-/VIM+ cell lines were significantly more invasive than either the ER+/VIM- or ER-/VIM- cell lines in the Boyden chamber chemoinvasion assay. Invasive activity in nude mice was only seen with ER-/VIM+ cell lines MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435 and MDA-MB-436. Hs578T cells (ER-/VIM+) showed hematogenous dissemination to the lungs in one of five mice, but lacked local invasion. The ER-/VIM+ MCF-7ADR subline was significantly more active than the MCF-7 cells in vitro, but resembled the wild-type MCF-7 parent in in vivo activity. Data from these cell lines suggest that human breast cancer progression results first in the loss of ER, and subsequently in VIM acquisition, the latter being associated with increased metastatic potential through enhanced invasiveness. The MCF-7ADR data provide evidence that this transition can occur in human breast cancer cells. Vimentin expression may provide useful insights into mechanisms of invasion and/or breast cancer cell progression.  相似文献

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring anticancer compound present in grapes and wine with antiproliferative properties against breast cancer cells and xenografts. Our objective was to investigate the metabolic alterations that characterize the effects of resveratrol in the human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 using high-throughput liquid chromatography-based mass spectrometry. In both cell lines, growth inhibition was dose dependent and accompanied by substantial metabolic changes. For all 21 amino acids analyzed levels increased more than 100-fold at a resveratrol dose of 100?μM with far lower concentrations in MDA-MB-231 compared to MCF-7 cells. Among the biogenic amines and modified amino acids (n?=?16) resveratrol increased the synthesis of serotonin, kynurenine, and spermindine in both cell lines up to 61-fold indicating that resveratrol strongly interacts with cellular biogenic amine metabolism. Among the eicosanoids and oxidized polyunsaturated fatty acids (n?=?17) a pronounced increase in arachidonic acid and its metabolite 12S-HETE was observed in MDA-MB-231 and to a lesser extent in MCF-7 cells, indicating release from cell membrane phospholipids upon activation of phospholipase A? and subsequent metabolism by 12-lipoxygenase. In conclusion, metabolomic analysis elucidated several small molecules as markers for the response of breast cancer cells to resveratrol.  相似文献

We present here a novel semi-synthetic cyclic ether fluorinated noscapine analog (CEFNA) that shows potent antiproliferative and anticancer activity in both hormone-responsive (MCF-7) and hormone non-responsive (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells. Interestingly, it is also effective against MCF-7/Adr, an adriamycin-resistant variant of MCF-7 cells. Immunofluorescence experiments showed numerous micronuclei, indicative of apoptotic cell death triggered by this novel analog. Mechanistically, CEFNA exerts a strong antimitotic effect as revealed by cell-cycle studies that show a dose-dependent increase in G2/M population preceding a rising sub-G1 population, suggesting apoptosis.  相似文献

Based on the efficacy of EHop-016 as an inhibitor of migration and Rac1 activation, a new series of carbazole derivatives has been synthesized. Cytotoxic and anti-migratory effects of these compounds were evaluated in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Preliminary investigations of their anticancer activity demonstrated that several compounds have moderate antiproliferative effects on cancer cell lines with GI50 values in the range of 13–50?µM. Furthermore, compounds 3b and 11b inhibit migration activity of metastatic cell line MDA-MB-231 by 32% and 34%, respectively. Compound 11b was shown to inhibit activation of the Rho GTPase Rac1 by 55% at 250?nM in both MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-435 cell lines. Compared with the IC50 of Rac1 inhibition by lead compound EHop-016 of 1.1?µM, compound 11b demonstrates 4X improved in vitro efficacy.  相似文献

A new series of N-sec/tert-butyl 2-arylbenzimidazole derivatives was synthesised in 85–96% yields within 2–3.5?min by condensing ethyl 3-amino-4-butylamino benzoate with various substituted metabisulfite adducts of benzaldehyde under focused microwave irradiation. The benzimidazole analogues were characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, high resolution MS and melting points. Evaluation of antiproliferative activity of the benzimidazole analogues against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 revealed several compounds with unexpected selective inhibitions of MDA-MB-231 in micromolar range. All analogues were found inactive towards MCF-7. The most potent inhibition against MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell line came from the unsubstituted 2-phenylbenzimidazole 10a.  相似文献

BackgroundBreast cancer is a leading cause of death in women and with an increasing worldwide incidence. Doxorubicin, as a first-line anthracycline-based drug is conventional used on breast cancer clinical chemotherapy. However, the drug resistances limited the curative effect of the doxorubicin therapy in breast cancer patients, but the molecular mechanism determinants of breast cancer resistance to doxorubicin chemotherapy are not fully understood. In order to explore the association between metadherin (MTDH) and doxorubicin sensitivity, the differential expressions of MTDH in breast cancer cell lines and the sensitivity to doxorubicin of breast cancer cell lines were investigated.MethodsThe mRNA and protein expression of MTDH were determined by real-time PCR and Western blot in breast cancer cells such as MDA-MB-231, MCF-7, MDA-MB-435S, MCF-7/ADR cells. Once MTDH gene was knocked down by siRNA in MCF-7/ADR cells and overexpressed by MTDH plasmid transfection in MDA-MB-231 cells, the cell growth and therapeutic sensitivity of doxorubicin were evaluated using MTT and the Cell cycle assay and apoptosis rate was determined by flow cytometry.ResultsMCF-7/ADR cells revealed highly expressed MTDH and MDA-MB-231 cells had the lowest expression of MTDH. After MTDH gene was knocked down, the cell proliferation was inhibited, and the inhibitory rate of cell growth and apoptosis rate were enhanced, and the cell cycle arrest during the G0/G1 phase in the presence of doxorubicin treatment. On the other hand, the opposite results were observed in MDA-MB-231 cells with overexpressed MTDH gene.ConclusionMTDH gene plays a promoting role in the proliferation of breast cancer cells and its high expression may be associated with doxorubicin sensitivity of breast cancer.  相似文献

A series of novel amyl ester tethered dihydroartemisinin-isatin hybrids 4a–d and 5a–h were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as anti-breast cancer agents. The synthesized hybrids were preliminarily screened against estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR) and triple-negative (MDA-MB-231 and) breast cancer cell lines. Three hybrids 4a , d and 5e not only were more potent than artemisinin and adriamycin against drug-resistant MCF-7/ADR and MDA-MB-231/ADR breast cancer cell lines, but also displayed non-cytotoxicity towards normal MCF-10 A breast cells, and the SI values were >4.15, indicating their excellent selectivity and safety profiles. Thus, hybrids 4a , d and 5e could act as potential anti-breast cancer candidates and were worthy of further preclinical evaluations. Moreover, the structure–activity relationships which may facilitate further rational design of more effective candidates were also enriched.  相似文献

The correlation between diet and variation in gene-expression is an important field which could be considered to approach cancer pathways comprehension. We examined the effects of lycopene on breast cancer cell lines using pangenomic arrays. Lycopene is derived predominantly from tomatoes and tomato products and there is some epidemiologic evidence for a preventive role in breast cancer. Previously, we investigated lycopene in breast cancer using a dedicated breast cancer microarray. To confirm these results and explore pathways other than those implicated in breast cancer, for this study we used pangenomic arrays containing 25,000 oligonucleotides. This in vitro study assayed two human mammary cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231), and a fibrocystic breast cell line (MCF-10a) treated or not with 10 microM lycopene for 48 h. A competitive hybridization was performed between Cy3-labeled lycopene treated RNA and Cy5-labeled untreated RNA to define differentially expressed genes. Using t-test analysis, a subset of 391 genes was found to be differentially modulated by lycopene between estrogen-positive cells (MCF-7) and estrogen-negative cells (MDA-MB-231, MCF-10a). Hierarchical clustering revealed 726 discriminatory genes between breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7, MDA-MB-231) and the fibrocystic breast cell line (MCF-10a). Modified gene expression was observed in various molecular pathways, such as apoptosis, cell communication, MAPK and cell cycle as well as xenobiotic metabolism, fatty acid biosynthesis and gap junctional intercellular communication.  相似文献

A mouse was immunised with an antigen(s) purified by oestradiol-Sepharose affinity chromatography of pooled oestrogen-receptor positive cytosols from human breast cancer tissue. One antibody secreting clone was identified which precipitated labelled antigen and which also stained MCF-7 cells. Culture supernatant and ascites fluid were used for immunofluorescence, SDS-PAGE-Western blotting, photoaffinity labelling and binding studies. The antibody staining of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by preincubation in oestrogen-receptor positive cytosol but was unaffected by oestrogen-receptor negative cytosol. MCF-7 cells stained whether cultured in the presence or absence of oestradiol. The oestrogen-receptor negative cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-330 did not stain. Binding studies with 16-alpha-iodooestradiol using breast cancer tissue cytosols followed by immunoprecipitation showed activity only with oestrogen-receptor positive cytosols with optimal binding activity at 4 degrees C, unaffected by molybdate, but reduced at 25 degrees C or in the presence of 0.4 M KCl. Binding studies with MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-330 cytosols and nuclear fractions only showed activity with the MCF-7 cytosol and MCF-7 particulate fractions. The antibody recognised a 48 K species in both MCF-7 cytosol and nuclear fractions but not in the cytosol and nuclear extracts of oestrogen-receptor negative cell lines. Photoaffinity labelling using 16 alpha-iodooestradiol suggests the 48 K antigen does not bind oestradiol directly. The relationship of this antigen to the classical oestrogen-receptor and receptor complex awaits further clarification.  相似文献

BackgroundCoumarins occurs naturally across plant kingdoms exhibits significant pharmacological properties and pharmacokinetic activity. The conventional, therapeutic agents are often associated with poor stability, absorption and increased side effects. Therefore, identification of a drug that has little or no-side effect on humans is consequential. Here, we investigated the antiproliferative activity of styrene substituted biscoumarin against various human breast cancer cell lines, such as MCF-7, (ER-) MDA-MB-231 and (AR+) MDA-MB-453. Styrene substituted biscoumarin induced cell death by apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cell line was analyzed.MethodsAntiproliferative activity of Styrene substituted biscoumarin was performed by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Styrene substituted biscoumarin induced apoptosis was assessed by Hoechst staining, Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide (Annexin V-FITC/PI) staining and flow cytometric analysis. Migratory and proliferating characteristic of breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was also analyzed by wound healing and colony formation assay. Furthermore, mRNA expression of BAX and BCL-2 were quantified using qRT-PCR and protein expression level analyzed by Western blot.ResultsThe inhibition concentration (IC50) of styrene substituted biscoumarin was assayed against three breast cancer cell lines. The inhibition concentration (IC50) value of styrene substituted biscoumarin toward MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-453 and MCF-7 cell lines was 5.63, 7.30 and 10.84 μg/ml respectively. Styrene substituted biscoumarin induced apoptosis was detected by Hoechst staining, DAPI/PI analysis and flow-cytometric analysis. The migration and proliferative efficiency of MDA-MB-231 cells were completely arrested upon styrene substituted biscoumarin treatment. Also, mRNA gene expression and protein expression of pro-apoptotic (BAX) and anti-apoptotic (BCL-2) genes were analyzed by qRT-PCR and western blot analysis upon styrene substituted biscoumarin treatment to MDA-MB-231 cells. Our results showed that styrene substituted biscoumarin downregulated BCL-2 gene expression and upregulated BAX gene expression to trigger apoptotic process.ConclusionStyrene substituted biscoumarin could induce apoptosis through intrinsic mitochondrial pathway in breast cancer cell lines, particularly in MDA-MB-231. Our data suggest that styrene substituted biscoumarin may act as a potential chemotherapeutic agent against breast cancer.  相似文献

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term for a group of positional and geometric conjugated dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. CLA has been shown to have strong inhibitory effects on mammary carcinogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we investigated the regulation of human stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD, EC 1.14.99.5) expression by CLA in human breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. Treatment of the cells with the cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomers (45 microM) did not repress SCD mRNA in both MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells. However, the cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomers significantly decreased SCD protein levels and SCD activity in MDA-MB-231 cells. In MCF-7 cells, both isomers did not affect protein levels, but they inhibited SCD activity. These results suggest that in MDA-MB-231 cells the cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12 CLA isomers regulate human SCD by reducing SCD protein levels, while in MCF-7 cells both isomers have a direct inhibitory effect on SCD enzyme activity.  相似文献
