Survivin is a key member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, and is considered a promising therapeutic target due to its universal overexpression in cancers. Survivin is implicated in cellular radiation response through its role in apoptosis, cell division, and DNA damage response. In the present study, analysis of publically available data sets showed that survivin gene expression increased with breast cancer stage (p < 0.00001) and was significantly higher in estrogen receptor-negative cancers as compared to estrogen receptor-positive cancers (p = 9e-46). However, survivin was prognostic in estrogen receptor-positive tumors (p = 0.03) but not in estrogen receptor-negative tumors (p = 0.28). We assessed the effect of a survivin dominant-negative mutant on colony-formation (2D) and mammosphere-formation (3D) efficiency, and radiation response in the estrogen receptor-positive MCF7 and estrogen receptor-negative SUM149 breast cancer cell lines. The colony-formation efficiency was significantly lower in the dominant-negative survivin-transduced cells versus control MCF7 cells (0.42 vs. 0.58, p < 0.01), but it was significantly higher in dominant-negative population versus control-transduced SUM149 cells (0.29 vs. 0.20, p < 0.01). A similar, non-significant, trend in mammosphere-formation efficiency was observed. We compared the radiosensitivity of cells stably expressing dominant-negative survivin with their controls in both cell lines under 2D and 3D culture conditions following exposure to increasing doses of radiation. We found that the dominant-negative populations were radioprotective in MCF7 cells but radiosensitive in SUM149 cells compared to the control-transduced population; further, Taxol was synergistic with the survivin mutant in SUM149 but not MCF7. Our data suggests that survivin modulation influences radiation response differently in estrogen receptor-positive and estrogen receptor-negative breast cancer subtypes, warranting further investigation. 相似文献

Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cancer in the world in terms of incidence and mortality in women. However, the mechanism by which BC develops remains largely unknown. The increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ can result in different physiological changes including cell growth and death. Orai isoforms are highly Ca2+ selective channels. In the present study, we analyzed Orai3 expression in normal and cancerous breast tissue samples, and its role in MCF‐7 BC and normal MCF‐10A mammary epithelial cell lines. We found that the expression of Orai3 mRNAs was higher in BC tissues and MCF‐7 cells than in normal tissues and MCF‐10A cells. Down‐regulation of Orai3 by siRNA inhibited MCF‐7 cell proliferation and arrested cell cycle at G1 phase. This phenomenon is associated with a reduction in CDKs 4/2 (cyclin‐dependent kinases) and cyclins E and D1 expression and an accumulation of p21Waf1/Cip1 (a cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor) and p53 (a tumor‐suppressing protein). Orai3 was also involved in MCF‐7 cell survival. Furthermore, Orai3 mediated Ca2+ entry and contributed to intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i). In MCF‐10A cells, silencing Orai3 failed to modify [Ca2+]i, cell proliferation, cell‐cycle progression, cyclins (D1, E), CDKs (4, 2), and p21Waf1/Cip1 expression. Our results provide strong evidence for a significant effect of Orai3 on BC cell growth in vitro and show that this effect is associated with the induction of cell cycle and apoptosis resistance. Our study highlights a possible role of Orai3 as therapeutic target in BC therapy. J. Cell. Physiol. 226: 542–551, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

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

A series of polymethyl-substituted piperidines linked to either a 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-yl or a 6-methoxynaphthalen-1-yl moiety was generated with the aim of verifying a previously generated hypothesis: tetralin and naphthalene nuclei confer opposite activity at the σ1 receptor. Compounds 6, 9 and 10 displayed appreciable affinity at both σ subtypes, but none of the novel compounds displayed significant antiproliferative activity in MCF7wt and MCF7σ1 cell lines. The effect on bradikynin-triggered Ca2+ mobilization was studied as a methodology to suggest σ receptors mediated activity. 相似文献

A novel class of 4-piperazinylquinoline derivatives based on the isatin scaffold were designed by molecular hybridization approach and synthesized for biological evaluation. Subsequently, the compounds were examined for their cytotoxic effects on two human breast tumor cell lines, MDA-MB468 and MCF7, and two non-cancer breast epithelial cell lines, 184B5 and MCF10A. Although all compounds examined were quite effective on the breast cancer cell lines examined, the compound 4-bromo-1-[4-(7-chloro-quinolin-4-yl)-piperazin-1-ylmethyl]-1H-indole-2,3-dione (5b) and N1-[4-(7-trifluoromethyl-quinolin-4-yl)]-piperazin-1-ylmethyl-4-chloro-1H-indole-2,3-dione-3-thiosemicarbazone (8a) emerged as the most active among this series. It appeared that both 5b and 8a caused apoptosis to MCF7 cancer cells, but not MCF10A non-cancer cells. Thus, 4-piperazinylquinoline linked isatin analog can serve as the prototype molecule for further development of a new class of anti-breast cancer agents. 相似文献

At least one member of the TGF-beta family, TGF-beta 1, has been previously shown to inhibit the anchorage-independent growth of some human breast cancer cell lines (Knabbe et al., 1987; Arteaga et al., 1988). Members of the TGF-beta family might, therefore, provide new strategies for breast cancer therapy. We have studied the inhibitory effects of TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 on the anchorage-independent growth of the oestrogen receptor-negative cell lines MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3, Hs578T, MDA-MB-468, and MDA-MB-468-S4 (an MDA-MB-468 clone not growth inhibited by EGF) and the estrogen receptor-positive cell lines MCF7, ZR-75-1, T-47D. TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2 caused a 75-90% growth inhibition of MDA-MB-231, SK-BR-3, Hs578T, and MDA-MB-468 cells and a 50% growth inhibition of ZR-75-1 and early passage (less than 100) MCF7 cells. T-47D cells responded to TGF-beta only in serum-free conditions in the presence of IGF-1 or EGF. The growth of MDA-MB-468-S4 cells and late passage (greater than 500) MCF7 cells was not inhibited by TGF-beta 1 or TGF-beta 2. TGF-beta-sensitive MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 cells did not respond to Muellerian inhibiting substance (MIS), a TGF-beta-related polypeptide. TGF-beta 1 or TGF-beta 2 were mutually competitive for receptor binding with a similar affinity (Kd 25-130 pM, 1,000-13,000 sites per cell). To determine the time course of the TGF-beta effect, an anchorage-dependent growth assay was carried out using MDA-MB-231 cells. Growth inhibition occurred at 6 days, and cell-cycle changes were seen 12 hr after the addition of TGF-beta. Cells accumulated in the G1 phase and were thus inhibited from entering the S-phase. These data indicate that TGF-beta is a potent growth inhibitor in most breast cancer cell lines and provide a basis for studying TGF-beta effects in vivo. 相似文献

Akt kinases are attractive targets for small molecule drug discovery because of their key role in tumor cell survival/proliferation and their overexpression/activation in many human cancers. Recent efforts in the development and biological evaluation of small molecule inhibitors of Akt have led to the identification of novel Akt kinase inhibitors, based on a quinoxaline or pyrazinone scaffold. A series of new substituted pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxaline derivatives, structural analogues of these active quinoxaline or pyrazinone pharmacophores, was synthesized from various substituted 2-nitroanilines or 1,2-phenylenediamine via multistep heterocyclization process. These new compounds were tested for their in vitro ability to inhibit the proliferation of the human leukemic cell lines K562, U937 and HL60, and the breast cancer cell line MCF7. Three of these human cell lines (K562, U937 and MCF7) exhibited an active phosphorylated Akt form. The most promising active pyrroloquinoxalines were found to be 1a that inhibited K562 cell line proliferation with an IC50 of 4.5 μM, and 1h that inhibited U937 and MCF7 cell lines with IC50 of 5 and 8 μM, respectively. These two candidates exhibited more potent activities than the reference inhibitor A6730. 相似文献

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death in cancer categories, followed by lung, colorectal, and ovarian among the female gender across the world. 10H‐3,6‐diazaphenothiazine (PTZ) is a thiazine derivative compound that exhibits many pharmacological activities. Herein, we proceed to investigate the pharmacological activities of PTZ toward breast cancer MCF‐7 cells as a representative in vitro breast cancer cell model. The PTZ exhibited a proliferation inhibition (IC50 = 0.895 µM) toward MCF‐7 cells. Further, cell cycle analysis illustrated that the S‐phase checkpoint was activated to achieve proliferation inhibition. In vitro cytotoxicity test on three normal cell lines (HEK293 normal kidney cells, MCF‐10A normal breast cells, and H9C2 normal heart cells) demonstrated that PTZ was more potent toward cancer cells. Increase in the levels of reactive oxygen species results in polarization of mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), together with suppression of mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase enzymatic activity suggested that PTZ induced oxidative damages toward mitochondria and contributed to improved drug efficacy toward treatment. The RT2 PCR Profiler Array (human apoptosis pathways) proved that PTZ induced cell death via mitochondria‐dependent and cell death receptor‐dependent pathways, through a series of modulation of caspases, and the respective morphology of apoptosis was observed. Mechanistic studies of apoptosis suggested that PTZ inhibited AKT1 pathways resulting in enhanced drug efficacy despite it preventing invasion of cancer cells. These results showed the effectiveness of PTZ in initiation of apoptosis, programmed cell death, toward highly chemoresistant MCF‐7 cells, thus suggesting its potential as a chemotherapeutic drug. 相似文献

In the present study, four Pt(II) complexes with 2-ethyl (1)/or benzyl (2)/or p-chlorobenzyl (3)/or 2-phenoxymethyl (4) benzimidazole carrier ligands were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activities against the human HeLa cervix, oestrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 breast, and oestrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell lines. The plasmid DNA interactions and inhibition of the BamHI restriction enzyme activities of the complexes were also studied. Complex 3 was found to be more active than carboplatin for all examined cell lines and comparable with cisplatin, except for the HeLa cell line. 相似文献

Summary Examination of estrogen-responsive processes in cell culture is used to investigate hormonal influence on cancer cell growth
and gene expression. Most experimental studies have used breast cancer cell lines, in particular MCF7 cells, to investigate
estrogen responsiveness. In this study we examined an ovarian cancer cell line, BG-1, which is highly estrogen-responsive
in vitro. This observation, plus the fact that the cells are of ovarian rather than mammary gland origin, makes it an attractive alternative
model. 17β-Estradiol, epidermal growth factor, and insulin-like growth factor induced proliferation of BG-1 and MCF7 cells.
Viability was dependent on these growth factors in BG-1 cells, but not in MCF7 cells. Therefore, we examined the differences
between these two cell lines with respect to estrogen and growth factor receptors. BG-1 cells have twice as many estrogen
receptors as MCF7 cells, and BG-1 cells have higher insulin-like growth factor-1 and epidermal growth factor receptor levels
than MCF7 cells. This may also explain why BG-1 cells proliferate 56% more robustly in serum and show more serum dependence
in culture. In both BG-1 and MCF7 cells, epidermal growth factor receptor number is low (<20 000/cell), while insulin-like
growth factor-1 receptor level was highest in estrogen receptor positive cell lines. For example, insulin-like growth factor-1
receptor was higher in BG-1 and MCF7 cells than in estrogen receptor negative cells (HeLa>MDA-MB-435>HBL100). In conclusion,
BG-1 cells are an excellent model for understanding hormone responsiveness in ovarian tissue and an alternative for examining
estrogen receptor-mediated and insulin-like growth factor-1/epidermal growth factor/estrogen cross-talk processes because
of their sensitivity to these factors. 相似文献

Resazurin, introduced as a cell viability indicator under the trade name alamarBlue®, is generally regarded as nontoxic when used according to manufacturer’s suggested shorter-term incubation time specifications. However, problems arise when exposure times are extended to longer-term cultures on the order of days. To assess the effect of resazurin over longer incubation times, MCF7 (HTB-22), MCF10A (CRL-10317), 3T3-L1 (CL-173), and D1 (CRL-12424) cultures were tested with varying amounts of resazurin over 4- and 8-day periods. MCF7, 3T3-L1, and D1 cells cultured for 8 days with 20 % alamarBlue® had significantly less cell survivability. Specifically, levels of metabolic activity, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) concentration, and glucose consumption of the cell lines cultured for 8 days in medium with 20 % alamarBlue® were significantly lower (p < 0.05) than metabolic activity, DNA concentration, and glucose consumption of MCF7 cells cultured for 8 days in medium with no alamarBlue®. MCF7, 3T3-L1, and D1 cells used less glucose at concentrations as low as 5 %. Data also suggests the toxic effects are more pronounced in the cancerous cell line as compared to the noncancerous cells. 相似文献

New therapeutic modalities are needed for ovarian cancer, the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. Recent clinical trials have demonstrated the impressive therapeutic potential of adoptive therapy using chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-redirected T cells to target hematological cancers, and emerging studies suggest a similar impact may be achieved for solid cancers. We sought determine whether genetically-modified T cells targeting the CE7-epitope of L1-CAM, a cell adhesion molecule aberrantly expressed in several cancers, have promise as an immunotherapy for ovarian cancer, first demonstrating that L1-CAM was highly over-expressed on a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines, primary ovarian tumor tissue specimens, and ascites-derived primary cancer cells. Human central memory derived T cells (TCM) were then genetically modified to express an anti-L1-CAM CAR (CE7R), which directed effector function upon tumor antigen stimulation as assessed by in vitro cytokine secretion and cytotoxicity assays. We also found that CE7R+ T cells were able to target primary ovarian cancer cells. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of CE7R+ TCM induced a significant regression of i.p. established SK-OV-3 xenograft tumors in mice, inhibited ascites formation, and conferred a significant survival advantage compared with control-treated animals. Taken together, these studies indicate that adoptive transfer of L1-CAM-specific CE7R+ T cells may offer a novel and effective immunotherapy strategy for advanced ovarian cancer. 相似文献

BackgroundResearch suggests that hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of breast cancer, and progestins such as norethisterone (NET) play a key role in this phenomenon. We have demonstrated that microRNA-181a (miR-181a) suppresses NET-promoted breast cancer cell survival. Nonetheless, the effects of NET and miR-181a on the tumorigenesis of human breast epithelial cells have not yet been elaborated.MethodsAssays of cell viability, proliferation, migration, apoptosis, and colony formation were performed to investigate the pro-tumorigenesis effect of NET and the effects of miR-181a on human breast epithelial MCF10A cells. The expressions of cell-proliferation-related genes and apoptotic factors were analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot in MCF10A cells treated with NET and miR-181a.ResultsNET significantly increased MCF10A cell viability, proliferation, migration, and colony formation, but reduced cellular apoptosis. In addition, NET increased the expression of progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), EGFR, B-cell lymphoma 2, cyclin D1, and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, but decreased the expression of pro-apoptosis factors, such as Bax, caspase-7, and caspase-9. Overexpression of miR-181a strongly inhibited the effects of NET on MCF10A cells and abrogated NET-stimulated PGRMC1, EGFR, and mTOR expression.ConclusionsActivation of the PGRMC1/EGFR–PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is the primary mechanism underlying the pro-tumorigenesis effects of NET on human breast epithelial MCF10A cells. Additionally, miR-181a can suppress the effects of NET on these cells. These data suggest a therapeutic potential for miR-181a in reducing or preventing the risk of breast cancer in hormone replacement therapy using NET. 相似文献

AbstractA stable recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell model system expressing the human type-1 receptor for parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related peptide (hPTH-R) was established for the analysis of human PTH (hPTH) variants. The cell lines showed receptor expression in the range from 105 to 1.9xl06 receptors per cell. The affinity of the receptors for hPTH-(l-34) was independent of the receptor number per cell (K<j = 8 nmol/1). The induction of cAMP by hPTH-(l-34) is maximal in clones expressing >2xl05 receptors per cell and Ca++ signals were maximal in cell lines expressing >1.4xl06 receptors per cell. Second messenger specific inhibitors demonstrated that PTH-induced increases in intracellular cAMP and Ca++ are independent and Ca++ ions are derived from intracellular stores. The cAMP-specific receptor activator hPTH-(l-31) showed also an increase in intracellular Ca++. Even in cell lines expressing more than 10 receptors per cell the Ca++/PKC specific activator hPTH-(28-48) did not activate hPTH-Rs. Based on these results, synthesis of further derivatives of PTH is required to identify pathway-specific ligands for the type-1 hPTH-R. 相似文献

A series of nitric oxide donating acridone derivatives are synthesized and evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against different sensitive and resistant cancer cell lines MCF7/Wt, MCF7/Mr (BCRP overexpression) and MCF7/Dx (P-gp expression). The results showed that NO-donating acridones are potent against both the sensitive and resistant cells. Structure activity relationship indicate that the nitric oxide donating moiety connected through a butyl chain at N10 position as well as morpholino moiety linkage through an amide bridge on the acridone ring system at C-2 position, are required to exert a good cytotoxic effect. Further, good correlations were observed when cytotoxic properties were compared with in vitro nitric oxide release rate, nitric oxide donating group potentiated the cytotoxic effect of the acridone derivatives. Exogenous release of nitric oxide by NO donating acridones enhanced the accumulation of doxorubicin in MCF7/Dx cell lines when it was coadministered with doxorubicin, which inhibited the efflux process of doxorubicin. In summary, a nitric oxide donating group can potentiate the anti-MDR property of acridones. 相似文献

AbstractNew 1,3,4-thiadiazole thioglycosides linked to substituted pyrimidines were synthesized via glycosylation of 1,3,4-thiadiazole thiol compounds. Also, novel 1,2,3-triazole derivatives linked to carbohydrate units were prepared using the standard click chemistry conditions employing the Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition of substituted-aryl-azides with a selection of alkyne-functionalized sugars. The chemical structures of the new derivatives were verified using various spectroscopic techniques, such as IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and elemental analyses. The cytotoxic activities of the prepared compounds were investigated in vitro against human liver cancer (HepG-2) and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF7) cell lines. In addition, the biological evaluation of the new compounds involved the investigation of their effects on a human normal retinal pigmented epithelial cell line (RPE1) using the MTT assay. 相似文献

Transferrin receptor expression by the human tumour cell lines CCRF-CEM leukaemia and PMC-22B melanoma was studied, measuring the specific binding of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled transferrin using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. By measuring the fluorescence of cells stained at subsaturating concentrations of conjugate it was possible to calculate the average numbers of receptors per cell and the binding affinity by Scatchard analysis. These values (1.9 × 105 binding sites/cell, KA 1.2 × 109 M?1 for CCRF-CEM during exponential growth and 6.9 × 104 binding sites/cell, KA 1.4 × 10?9 M?1 for PMC-22B) are in close agreement with previously published data obtained using radiolabelled transferrin. The present method, however, allowed the transferrin receptor expression of individual cells within a population to be measured and thus it has been possible to test the hypothesis that transferrin receptor is a marker for cycling cells. Frequency-distribution histograms of transferrin receptor showed a wide range of values for both cell lines during exponential growth. When the extreme ranges were sorted and the cells examined for cellular DNA content it was found that those with the highest transferrin receptor expression were enriched with cells in S, G2, and M phases of the cell cycle, whereas those with low transferrin receptor expression were mainly in G1. However, two-parameter-correlated dot plots of transferrin receptor expression versus DNA content showed there was considerable overlap between the ranges of receptor expression for the different cell cycle compartments. Using a stathmokinetic method we have measured the proportion of quiescent cells in fed plateau phase cultures. Transferrin receptor expression was downgraded under these growth conditions but, contrary to expectation, the decline affected the population uniformly, without the emergence of a distinct, transferrin receptor-negative subpopulation corresponding to the increasing proportion of quiescent cells. Thus, although transferrin receptor expression bears some relation to cell cycle phase and reflects the proliferative activity of populations of cells, it is incapable of identifying individual cells which are out of cycle. 相似文献
