Epidemiological evidence has associated exposure to arsenic (As) in drinking water with an increased incidence of human cancers in the skin, bladder, liver, kidney and lung. Sodium arsenite mimics the effects of estradiol and induces cell proliferation in the estrogen responsive breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Therefore, our aim was to further explore the ability of sodium arsenite to induce MCF-7 epithelial breast cell proliferation and some of its underlying mechanisms by studying ROS production, c-Myc and HO-1 protein levels, 8-OHdG formation and NF-kappaB activation. Low arsenite concentrations (0.5-5 microM) induced ROS production and ROS-related depolarization of the mitochondrial membrane suggesting that mitochondria played an important role in the oxidative effects of As. ROS-mediated DNA damage as measured by the presence of 8-OHdG DNA-adducts in their nuclei, IkappaB phosphorylation, NF-kappaB activation and increases in c-Myc and HO-1 protein levels were also observed, suggesting that these factors play a relevant role in the arsenite induced MCF-7 cell recruitment into the S-phase of the cell cycle and cell proliferation observed. In conclusion, arsenite activates several pathways involved in MCF-7 cell proliferation suggesting that arsenite exposure may pose a risk for breast cancer in human exposed populations notwithstanding that most studies to date have not yet implicated this metalloid as a cofactor in the etiology of this disease. 相似文献

Protein kinase C (PKC) has been considered for a potential target of anticancer chemotherapy. PKC-alpha has been associated with growth and metastasis of some cancer cells. However, the role of PKC-alpha in human breast cancer cell proliferation and anticancer chemotherapy remains unclear. In this study, we examined whether alterations of PKC-alpha by phorbol esters and PKC inhibitors could affect proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and the cytotoxic effect of chemotherapeutic agents. Exposure for 24 h to doxorubicin (DOX) and vinblastine (VIN) caused a concentration-dependent reduction in proliferation of MCF-7 cells. However, these two anticancer drugs altered cellular morphology and growth pattern in distinct manners. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu, 100 nM), which enhanced activities of PKC-alpha, increased cancer cell proliferation and attenuated VIN (1 microM)-induced cytotoxicity. These effects were not affected in the presence of 10 nM staurosporine. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA, 100 nM) that completely depleted PKC-alpha also enhanced cancer cell proliferation and attenuated VIN-induced cytotoxicity. Three potent PKC inhibitors, staurosporine (10 nM), chelerythrine (5 microM) and bisindolylmaleimide-I (100 nM), had no significant effect on MCF-7 cell proliferation; staurosporine and chelerythrine, but not bisindolylmaleimide-I, attenuated VIN-induced cytotoxicity. Moreover, neither phorbol esters nor PKC inhibitors had an effect on cytotoxic effects of DOX (1 microM) on MCF-7 cell proliferation. Thus, these data suggest that MCF-7 cell proliferation or the anti-cancer action of DOX and VIN on breast cancer cells is independent of PKC-alpha. 相似文献

Additive growth-inhibitory effects of DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine and antiestrogens on MCF-7 breast cancer cell line 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We studied the growth inhibitory effects of DL-alpha-difluoromethylornithine, and antiestrogens (tamoxifen, 4-hydroxytamoxifen, trioxifene, keoxifene, and LY117018) as single agents and in combinations on the proliferation of a breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. At 0.1 mM difluoromethylornithine, the proliferation of MCF-7 cells was inhibited to 75 +/- 6% of the controls. Treatment of the cells with 0.1 microM 4-hydroxytamoxifen reduced cell growth to 72 +/- 4%. Combination of 0.1 mM difluoromethylornithine and 0.1 microM 4-hydroxytamoxifen reduced cell growth to 38 +/- 5%, indicating additive growth inhibitory effects. Similar additive effects were observed with all 5 antiestrogens in combination with difluoromethylornithine. 相似文献

Despite the wide use of Chinese licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) for the treatment of menopausal complaints, little is known on its potential estrogenic properties, and available information relative to its effects on cell proliferation is contradictory. In this study, the estrogenic properties of licorice root were evaluated in vitro by use of several assays. The effects of increasing concentrations of a DMSO extract of licorice root on the growth of MCF-7 breast cancer cells were biphasic. The extract showed an ER-dependent growth-promoting effect at low concentrations and an ER-independent anti-proliferative activity at high concentrations. In further experiments, licorice root was sequentially extracted to yield four fractions: hexane, EtOAc, methanol and H2O. Only the EtOAc extract had effects on cell proliferation similar to the DMSO extract. The hexane extract had no effect on cell growth. In contrast, the methanol and water extracts showed an ER-independent, growth-promoting effect. Similar to its effects on cell proliferation, the EtOAc extract had a biphasic effect on S phase cell cycle distribution and the level of PCNA protein. This extract-induced transactivation of endogenous ERα in MCF-7 cells, supported by inducing down-regulation of ERα protein and mRNA levels, and up-regulation of ERα target genes pS2 and GREB1. These results suggest that the activity of licorice root and the balance between increased risk for cancer and prevention of estrogen-dependent breast cancer may depend on the amount of dietary intake. 相似文献

To search for new targets of anticancer therapies using phytoestrogens we performed comparative metabolic profiling of the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and the non-tumorigenic breast cell line MCF-12A. Application of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed significant differences in the metabolic levels after exposure with 17ß-estradiol, genistein or a composition of phytoestrogens within a native root flax extract. We observed the metabolites 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-lactic acid, cis-aconitic acid, 11-beta-hydroxy-progesterone, chenodeoxycholic acid and triacontanoic acid with elevated levels due to estrogen action. Particularly highlighted were metabolites of the sphingolipid metabolism. Sphingosine and its dihydro derivate as well as ethanolaminephosphate were significantly altered after exposure with 1 nM 17ß-estradiol in the cell line MCF-7, while MCF-12A was not affected. Treatment with genistein and the flax extract normalized the sphingosine concentrations to the basic levels found in MCF-12A cells. We could further demonstrate that the expression levels of the sphingosine metabolizing enzymes: sphingosine-1-phosphate kinase (Sphk) and lyase (S1P lyase) were significantly influenced by estrogens as well as phytoestrogens. The isoform Sphk2 was overexpressed in the tumorigenic cell line MCF-7, while S1P lyase was predominantly expressed in the non-tumorigenic cell line MCF-12A. Importantly, in MCF-7 the weak S1P lyase expression could be significantly increased after exposure with 10 µM genistein and 1 µg/ml root flax extract. Here, we present, for the first time, an analysis of metabolic response of phytoestrogens to breast cancer cell lines. The contrasting regulation of sphingolipid enzymes in MCF-7 and MCF-12A render them as preferred targets for future anticancer strategies. 相似文献

A selected ion flow tube-chemical ionization mass spectrometric method is presented for the first determination of acrolein metabolically produced in biological tissues. Acrolein in aqueous samples (2.5 ml) is preconcentrated by distillation and directly analyzed using gas-phase proton transfer from H3O+. This method provides sensitive detection of acrolein with the method detection limit of 15 nM at the 99% confidence level. Detection is linear up to the highest concentration studied (13.5 microM, R2 = 0.998). Acrolein levels are determined in doxorubicin-sensitive (MCF-7) and doxorubicin-resistant (MCF-7/Adr) human breast cancer cells in vitro. The intracellular acrolein concentrations differ insignificantly: 0.61 microM for sensitive cells and 0.54 microM for resistant cells. Treatment with a physiological concentration of doxorubicin (0.5 microM) for 24 h at 37 degrees C increased acrolein levels by factors of 2.6 and 1.9 for MCF-7 and MCF-7/Adr cells, respectively. The differential enhancement observed is consistent with the lower levels of enzymes that neutralize oxidative stress in sensitive MCF-7 cells and overexpression of an active drug efflux pump P-170 glycoprotein in resistant MCF-7/Adr cells. 相似文献

Retinoids are currently being tested for the treatment and prevention of several human cancers, including breast cancer. However, the anti-cancer and growth inhibitory mechanisms of retinoids are not well understood. All-trans retinoic acid (RA) inhibits the growth of the estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, in a reversible and dose-dependent manner. In contrast, insulin-like growth factors (IGF-I,IGF-II) and insulin are potent stimulators of the proliferation of MCF-7 and several other breast cancer cell lines. Pharmacologic doses of RA (≤10?6M) completely inhibit IGF-I-stimulated MCF-7 cell growth. Published data suggest that the growth inhibitory action of RA on IGF-stimulated cell growth is linear and dose-dependent, similar to RA inhibition of unstimulated or estradiol-stimulated MCF-7 cell growth. Surprisingly, we have found that IGF-I or insulin-stimulated cell growth is increased to a maximum of 132% and 127%, respectively, by cotreatment with 10?7 M RA, and that 10?9–10?7 M RA increase cell proliferation compared to IGF-I or insulin alone. MCF-7 cells that stably overexpress IGF-II are also resistant to the growth inhibitory effects of 10?9–10?7 M RA. Treatment with the IGF-I receptor blocking antibody, αIR-3, restores RA-induced growth inhibition of IGF-I-treated or IGF-II-overexpressing MCF-7 cells, indicating that the IGF-I receptor is mediating these effects. IGFs cannot reverse all RA effects since the altered cell culture morphology of RA-treated cells is similar in growth-inhibited cultures and in IGF-II expressing clones that are resistant to RA-induced growth inhibition. These results indicate that RA action on MCF-7 cells is biphasic in the presence of IGF-I or insulin with 10?9–10?7 M RA enhancing cell proliferation and ≥ 10?6M RA causing growth inhibition. As IGF-I and IGF-II ligands are frequently detectable in breast tumor tissues, their potential for modulation of RA effects should be considered when evaluating retinoids for use in in vivo experimental studies and for clinical purposes. Additionally, the therapeutic use of inhibitors of IGF action in combination with RA is suggested by these studies. © 1995 Wiley-Liss Inc. 相似文献

Pueraria lobata root (PLR), well known as Kudzu root, has recently become commercially available in Western dietary supplements for menopausal symptoms. The scientific basis for its action has been attributed to the action of phytoestrogens. This study aimed to investigate the estrogen-like activity of isoflavonoids isolated from P. lobata root and their safety with respect to their effect on breast cancer cell proliferation. In an E-screen assay, crude MeOH extract of PLR significantly increased the proliferation of MCF-7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Among the four fractions obtained by solvent fractionation of MeOH extract, the n-BuOH fraction had significant estrogen-like activities at all concentrations tested. Phytochemical analysis of the n-BuOH fraction led to the isolation of 10 isoflavones (1–10), among which genistein (10) had significant estrogen-like activities at all concentrations tested. These activities were significantly enhanced by treatment with genistein and 17β-estradiol compared with 17β-estradiol alone, and this effect was mediated by decreased expression of estrogen receptor (ER)α and phospho-ERα in MCF-7 cells. In a cell cytotoxicity assay, genistein (10) exhibited significant cytotoxicity in both ER-positive MCF-7 and ER-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. This cytotoxicity was characterized by the induction of apoptotic cells stained with annexin V conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 and involved activation of mitochondria-independent and -dependent apoptosis pathways in MCF-7 cells. Our results demonstrated that genistein (10) has estrogen-like effects dependent on ER pathway activation and anti-proliferative effects mediated by the apoptosis pathway rather than the ER pathway in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. 相似文献

We reported recently that roscovitine (ROSC), a selective cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, arrests human MCF-7 breast cancer cells in G(2) phase of the cell cycle, and concomitantly induces apoptosis. Human MCF-7 breast cancer cells are known to express elevated levels of c-Ha-Ras protein. To achieve full biological activity, de novo synthesized c-Ha-Ras protein has to be farnesylated and after further processing it needs to be attached to the plasma membrane. Therefore, we decided to prove whether prevention of protein farnesylation would sensitize MCF-7 cells to the action of ROSC. MCF-7 cells were treated with 1-40 microM ROSC alone, or in combination with L-744,832, an inhibitor of farnesyl protein transferase (FTPase). To measure the impact on the proliferation of the cells, we used the CellTiterGlo viability assay and FACS analysis was employed to quantify the DNA-content of the single cells. The amount and phosphorylation status of relevant proteins after lysis of MCF-7 cells was assessed on Western blots using (phospho)-specific antibodies. The combined treatment with L-744,832 and ROSC for 24 h, markedly reduced the number of viable MCF-7 cells, primarily, by re-enforcing the cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, the potentiation of the ROSC-mediated inhibition of cell proliferation became evident during the 48 h post-incubation period in presence of the FPTase inhibitor. Inhibition of FPTase in ROSC-treated cells reduced the number of viable cells by approximately 30%. Evidently, the combined treatment sensitizes MCF-7 cells to the action of ROSC, thereby allowing to reduce the dose of the drug and to minimize side effects. 相似文献

The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) followed by treatment with inhibitor for p38 MAPK, SB203580 on the rate of proliferation in drug resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Interestingly, the results from immuno histochemistry and western blot assays revealed higher level of distribution of activated p38 MAPK in the drug resistant breast cancer tissues compared to the primary tissues. Treatment of the drug resistant MCF-7 cells with SB203580 led to a significant decrease in the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. Exposure to IMRT caused a significant decrease in the rate of proliferation in drug resistant MCF-7breast cancer cells (P < 0.05). MCF-7 cells were subjected to IMRT for 45 min followed by treatment with SB203580 for 12 h. The results from MTT assay revealed inhibition in the rate of proliferation of MCF-7 cells more efficiently compared to the IMRT or SB203580 when used separately (P < 0.02). The effect of IMRT and SB203580 on inhibition of MCF-7 cell proliferation showed synergistic relation. Since MAPK signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of drug resistance, therefore, inhibition of p38 MAPK activation by the combination of IMRT followed by treatment with inhibitor for p38 MAPK can be a promising strategy for breast cancer treatment. Thus combination of IMRT exposure and treatment with SB203580 can be used for the inhibition of drug resistant breast cancer. 相似文献

Inhibition of MCF-7 breast cancer cell proliferation by MCF-10A breast epithelial cells in coculture
Spink BC Cole RW Katz BH Gierthy JF Bradley LM Spink DC 《Cell biology international》2006,30(3):227-238
A coculture system was developed to investigate the interactions between MCF-10A breast epithelial cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells stably expressing the green fluorescent protein (MCF-7-GFP). Studies with this MCF-10A/MCF-7-GFP coculture system on microtiter plates and on reconstituted basement membrane (Matrigel), revealed paracrine inhibition of MCF-7-GFP cell proliferation. Epidermal growth factor, which in monocultures modestly enhanced MCF-7-GFP and markedly increased MCF-10A cell proliferation, greatly inhibited MCF-7-GFP cell proliferation in MCF-10A/MCF-7-GFP cocultures. 17beta-Estradiol, which stimulated MCF-7-GFP but not MCF-10A cell proliferation in monoculture, inhibited MCF-7-GFP cell proliferation in MCF-10A/MCF-7-GFP cocultures, an effect that was blocked by the antiestrogen, ICI 182,780. On Matrigel, complex MCF-10A/MCF-7-GFP cellular interactions were observed in real time that resulted in the formation of acinus-like structures. These results indicate a role of normal epithelial cells in inhibiting tumor-cell proliferation and demonstrate the utility of this coculture system as a model of early paracrine control of breast cancer. 相似文献

Antisense-mediated Inhibition of the plasma membrane calcium-ATPase suppresses proliferation of MCF-7 cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Alterations in Ca2+ signaling may contribute to tumorigenesis and the mechanism of action of some anti-cancer drugs. The plasma membrane calcium-ATPase (PMCA) is a crucial controller of intracellular Ca2+ signaling. Altered PMCA expression occurs in the mammary gland during lactation and in breast cancer cell lines. Despite this, the consequences of PMCA inhibition in breast cancer cell lines have not been investigated. In this work, we used Tet-off PMCA antisense-expressing MCF-7 cells to assess the effects of PMCA inhibition in a human breast cancer cell line. At a level of PMCA inhibition that did not completely prevent PMCA-mediated Ca2+ efflux and did not induce cell death, a dramatic inhibition of cellular proliferation was observed. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis indicated that PMCA antisense involves changes in cell cycle kinetics but not cell cycle arrest. We concluded that modulation of PMCA has important effects in regulating the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. 相似文献

There is currently considerable interest in the use of the endogenous oestrogen metabolite, 2-methoxyoestradiol (2-MeOE2) for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. We have previously shown that sulphamoylation of 2-MeOE2 and related derivatives greatly enhances their ability to inhibit the proliferation of ER+ and ER- breast cancer cells. In this study, we have compared the abilities of 2-methoxyoestradiol-bis-sulphamate (2-MeOE2bisMATE) and 2-ethyloestradiol-bis-sulphamate (2-EtE2bisMATE) with that of 2-MeOE2 to inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells when grown on three different substrata: plastic, collagen I and Matrigel. The human breast cell line MCF-7 was utilised for these studies together with its doxorubicin resistant variant, MCF-7 DOX40 and mitoxantrone resistant variant, MCF-7 MR, as a longitudinal model of in vitro drug resistance. On a plastic substratum all three cell lines were sensitive to the effects of 2-MeOE2bisMATE and 2-EtE2bisMATE whereas MCF-7 cells and the MCF-MR variant cells were resistant to the effects of 2-MeOE2 at 1 microM. The sensitivity of the cell lines to those compounds also remained significant when grown on more physiological substrata. All of the drugs tested arrested cells in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. The finding that breast cancer cells that are resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents remain sensitive to 2-substituted oestrogen sulphamates offers considerable potential for the treatment of women with drug-resistant breast cancer. 相似文献

To determine the role of CD24 in breast cancer cells, we knocked down CD24 in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by retroviral delivery of shRNA. MCF-7 cells with knocked down CD24 (MCF-7 hCD24 shRNA) exhibited decreased cell proliferation and cell adhesion as compared to control MCF-7 mCD24 shRNA cells. Decreased proliferation of MCF-7 hCD24 shRNA cells resulted from the inhibition of cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase. The specific inhibition of MEK/ERK signaling by CD24 ablation might be responsible for the inhibition of cell proliferation. Phosphorylation of Src/FAK and TGF-β1-mediated epithelial to mesenchymal transition was also down-regulated in MCF-7 hCD24 shRNA cells. Reduced Src/FAK activity was caused by a decrease in integrin β1 bound with CD24 and subsequent destabilization of integrin β1. Our results suggest that down-regulation of Raf/MEK/ERK signaling via Src/FAK may be dependent on integrin β1 function and that this mechanism is largely responsible for the CD24 ablation-induced decreases in cell proliferation and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. 相似文献

Chemopreventive potential for human breast cancer was assessed in vitro with Cnidii Rhizoma extract. Cnidii Rhizoma inhibited cell proliferation in estrogen receptor-positive (MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (MDA-MB-231) human breast carcinoma cell lines. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1-mediated ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity was inhibited by Cnidii Rhizoma in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, Cnidii Rhizoma extract caused inhibition of microsomal aromatase (estrogen synthase) activity. Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity was reduced to 40.3% of the control after 6 h treatment with Cnidii Rhizoma (5 mg/mL) in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Cnidii Rhizoma extract markedly reduced 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity. These results suggest that Cnidii Rhizoma could be of therapeutic value in preventing human breast cancer. 相似文献

Inhibition of estrogen receptor alpha expression and function in MCF-7 cells by kaempferol 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Hung H 《Journal of cellular physiology》2004,198(2):197-208
Estrogens are mitogenic for estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells. Current treatment of ER-positive breast tumors is directed towards interruption of estrogen activity. We report that treatment of ER-positive breast cancer cells with kaempferol resulted in a time- and dose-dependent decrease in cell number. The concentration required to produce 50% growth inhibition at 48 h was approximately 35.0 and 70.0 microM for ER-positive and ER-negative breast cancer cells, respectively. For MCF-7 cells, a reduction in the ER-alpha mRNA equivalent to 50, 12, 10% of controls was observed 24 h after treatment with 17.5, 35.0, and 70.0 microM of kaempferol, respectively. Concomitantly, these treatments led to a 58, 80, and 85% decrease in ER-alpha protein. The inhibitory effect of kaempferol on ER-alpha levels was seen as early as 6 h post-treatment. Kaempferol treatment also led in a dose-dependent decrease in the expression of progesterone receptor (PgR), cyclin D1, and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1). Immunocytochemical study revealed that ER-alpha protein in kaempferol-treated MCF-7 cells formed an aggregation in the nuclei. Kaempferol also induced degradation of ER-alpha by a different pathway than that were observed for the antiestrogen ICI 182,780 and estradiol. Estradiol-induced MCF-7 cell proliferation and expression of the estrogen-responsive-element-reporter gene activity were abolished in cells co-treated with kaempferol. These findings suggest that modulation of ER-alpha expression and function by kaempferol may be, in part, responsible for its anti-proliferative effects seen in in vitro. 相似文献
