Methanolic extract of Abrus precatorius promotes breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cell death by inducing cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 and upregulating Bax

Objective:To determine the anti-proliferative activity of Abrus precatorius(A.precatorius)leaf extracts and their effect on cell death.Methods:A.precatorius leaves were extracted successively with hexane,ethyl acetate and methanol by Soxhlet extraction.Aqueous extract was prepared by decoction at 50 ℃.Extracts of A.precatorius leaves were used to treat selected cancer and normal cell lines for72 h.Furthermore,3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay was performed to determine cell viability.Analysis of cell cycle arrest,apoptosis assay and apoptosis protein expressions were determined by flow cytometry.Results:Methanolic extract of A.precatorius leaves showed the lowest IC50 on MDA-MB-231 cells at(26.40±5.40)μg/mL.Flow cytometry analysis revealed that cell arrest occurred at G0/G1 phase and the apoptosis assay showed the occurrence of early apoptosis at 48 h in MDAMB-231 cells treated with methanolic extract of A.precatorius leaves.Methanolic extract of A.precatorius leaves induced apoptosis by upregulation of Bax,p53 and caspase-3 and downregulation of Bcl-2.Conclusions:Methanolic extract of A precatorius leaves promotes MDA-MB-231 cell death by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis possibly via the mitochondrial-related pathway.

Effect of amlodipine on apoptosis of human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells

Objective： To elucidate the effects of amlodipine on the proliferation and apoptosis of human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells. Methods： Light microscopy was used to determine the effects of amlodipine on cell morphology; Flow cytometry was used to quantitate cells undergoing apoptosis; the expression of a cell cycle-related protein, proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA） and an antiapoptosis protein, Bcl-2 were assessed by immunocytochemistry. Results： Amlodipine concentration of 8.25umol/L （1/2 of ICs0） affected the morphology, decreased the expression of PCNA and Bcl-2 and induced apoptosis of human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion： The effect of amlodipine on the antiproliferation of human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cells is related to inducement of apoptosis, and the decrease of the expression of Bcl-2 and PCNA may be the possible mechanism for proliferation inhibitory and inducement of apoptosis.

Meclizine Chloridrate and Methyl-β-Cyclodextrin Associated with Monophosphoester Synthetic Phosphoethanolamine Modulating Proliferative Potential in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells

Synthetic phosphoethanolamine(Pho-s)is a monophosphoester ester with anti-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic properties.Meclizine chloridrate(MC)is a histamine H1 receptor blocker that is also able to inhibit cellular respiration.However,MC does not inhibit cellular respiration in isolated mitochondria such as antimycin and rotenone.Methyl-β-cyclodextrin(MβCD)belongs to theβ-cyclodextrin family,which is capable of removing cholesterol from the plasma membrane.The aim of this study was to evaluate the proliferative effects of meclizine chloridrate and methyl-β-cyclodextrin compounds associated with synthetic phosphoethanolamine in a triple-negative human breast tumor line,MDA-MB-231 Cell viability of the tumor line and normal cells FN1 was evaluated by MTT colorimetric test;the production of free radicals was determined by lipoperoxidation(LPO)test;and the percentage of cell cycle phases and proliferative index was evaluated by flow cytometry.Cell viability demonstrated a significant decrease with the treatments of MβCD,MC and Pho-s associated with MC.The production of free radicals decreases significantly in all treatments.In addition,a significant increase of DNA fragment and decrease in G0/G1 cell cycle phase were observed in cellular percentage with concentrations of 20 and 30 mM of Pho-s in association with MC and MβCD,respectively.

Piperine suppresses growth and migration of human breast cancer cells through attenuation of Rac1 expression

Objective:To investigate the effect of piperine on human breast cancer cells.Methods:The effect of piperine on proliferation and migration of human breast cancer cells,MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231,was investigated using colony formation assays,wound healing assays,Matrigel migration assays,flow cytometry,RT-qPCR,and Western blotting assays.Results:Piperine inhibited the growth of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells and suppressed colony formation.Cell reduction at the G_(0)/G_(1) phase and cell arrest at the G_(2)/M phase were observed in breast cancer cells.However,the significant effect was only demonstrated in MDA-MB-231 cells.Moreover,cancer cell migration was suppressed by piperine at low concentration.RT-qPCR and Western blotting assays showed that piperine downregulated Rac1 gene and protein expression.Conclusions:Piperine could inhibit growth and migration of breast cancer cells by reducing Rac1 gene and protein expression.

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.

Sensitivity Evaluation of Two Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines to Tamoxifen through Apoptosis Induction

Tamoxifen citrate (TAM) has been used to treat breast cancer in women for many years. The com-parative effects of TAM in inducing apoptosis were evaluated in estrogen receptor-positive (ER- positive MCF-7) and estrogen receptor-negative (ER-negative MDA-MB-231) human breast cancer cell lines in vitro in order to determine if these two cell lines differ in their sensitivity to TAM. Mi-tochondrial membrane permeability potential disruption was assessed in both cell lines by a lip-ophilic cationic dye (DePsipher assay, Trevigen, Inc.) utilizing fluorescence microscopy. Using this specific fluorochrome, we were able to associate mitochondrial membrane disruption to early, mid-, and late apoptotic cells. TAM induced cell death via apoptosis in both ER-positive and ER- negative cells, however, apoptosis induction was more pronounced in ER-positive MCF-7 compared to ER-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. These findings may have some therapeutic use in the treatment of estrogen dependent and estrogen independent breast cancer.
