Silencing Filamin A Inhibits the Invasion and Migration of Breast Cancer Cells by Up-regulating 14-3-3σ

Filamin A and 14-3-3-σ are closely associated with the development of breast cancer. However, the exact relationship between them is still unknown. The present study aimed to examine the interaction of filamin A with 14-3-3-σ in the invasion and migration of breast cancer. RNA interference technology was employed to silence filamin A in MDA-MB-231 cells. Real-time PCR and Westem blotting were used to detect the expression of filamin A and 14-3-3-σ at mRNA and protein levels, respectively. Double immunofluorescence was applied to show their colocalization morphologically. Wound healing assay and Trans-well assay were used to testify the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in filamin A-silenced cells. The results showed that silencing filamin A significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of 14-3-3σ. In addition, double immunofluorescence displayed that filamin A and 14-3-3σ were predominantly colocalized in the cytoplasm of MDA-MB-231 cells. Silencing filamin A led to the enhanced fluorescence of 14-3-3σ. Furthermore, cell functional experiments showed that silencing filamin A inhibited the migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. In conclusion, silencing filamin A may inhibit the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells by upregulating 14-3-3σ.

Partial sequences of the 16s rRNA gene, phylogenetic tree construction, multiple sequence analysis and secondary structure analysis were also carried out with the actinomycetes isolates.ResultsOf the selected five actinomycete isolates, ACT01 and ACT02 showed the IC50 value with (10.13±0.92) and (22.34±5.82) μg/mL concentrations, respectively for MCF-7 cell line at 48 h, but ACT01 showed the minimum (18.54±2.49 μg/mL) level of IC50 value with MDA-MB-231 cell line. Further, the 16s rRNA partial sequences of ACT01, ACT02, ACT03, ACT04 and ACT05 isolates were also deposited in NCBI data bank with the accession numbers of GQ478246, GQ478247, GQ478248, GQ478249 and GQ478250, respectively. The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that, the isolates of ACT02 and ACT03 were represented in group I and III, respectively, but ACT01 and ACT02 were represented in group II. The multiple sequence alignment of the actinomycete isolates showed that, the maximum identical conserved regions were identified with the nucleotide regions of 125 to 221st base pairs, 65 to 119th base pairs and 55, 48 and 31st base pairs. Secondary structure prediction of the 16s rRNA showed that, the maximum free energy was consumed with ACT03 isolate (-45.4 kkal/mol) and the minimum free energy was consumed with ACT04 isolate (?7.6 kkal/mol).ConclusionsThe actinomycete isolates of ACT01 and ACT02 (GQ478246 and GQ478247) which are isolated from sediment sample can be further used as anticancer agents against breast cancer cell lines.

Investigating the effects of Pentoxifylline on human breast cancer cells using Raman spectroscopy

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in a global scenario.In the present study,biochemical changes exerted upon Pentoxifylline(PTX)treatment had been ap-praised in human breast cancer cells using Raman spectrosecopy.There are no clinically approved methods to monitor such therapeutic responses available.The spectral profiling is suggestive of changes in DNA,protein and lipid contents showing a linear relationship with drug dosage.Further,multivariate analysis using principal component based linear-discriminant-analysis(PC-LDA)was employed for dlassifying the control and the PTX treated groups.These findings support the feasibility of Raman spectroscopy as an alternate/adjunct label-free,objective method for monitoring drug-induced modifications against breast cancer cells.
