Human Drug Efflux Transporter ABCC5 Confers Acquired Resistance to Pemetrexed in Breast Cancer

Abstract AimPemetrexed, a new generation antifolate drug, is approved for the treatment for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, but factors affecting the efficacy and resistance of it have yet to be fully explicit. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been reported as prognostic and adverse effects predictors of many xenobiotics. This study was designed to explore whether ABC transporters affect pemetrexed resistance and may contribute to treatment regimen optimization for breast cancer.MethodsFirstly, the expression of ABC transporters family members was measured in cell lines, thereafter examined the potential role of ABC transporter in conferring resistance to pemetrexed in primary cancer cell lines isolated from 34 breast cancer patients, and then the role of ABCC5 in mediating transport of pemetrexed and apoptosis pathway in MCF-7 cell line was assessed. Finally, the functions of ABCC5 on therapeutic effect of pemetrexed was evaluated in breast cancer bearing mice.ResultsThe expressions of ABCC2, ABCC4, ABCC5 and ABCG2 were significantly increased in pan-resistance cell line, and the ABCC5, the most obvious one, was 5.21 times higher than that of the control group. The expression of ABCC5 was inversely correlated with sensitivity (IC50) of pemetrexed (r = 0.741; p<0.001) in breast cancer cells from 34 patients. Furthermore, we found that the expression of ABCC5 influenced the efflux and cytotoxicity of pemetrexed in MCF-7 cell line, and the IC50 were 0.06 μg/ml and 0.20 μg/ml in ABCC5 knock-down and over-expression cells, respectively. In in vivo study, we found ABCC5 affected the sensitivity of pemetrexed in breast cancer bearing mice, and the tumor volume was much larger in ABCC5 over-expression group than that in control group (2.7 folds vs 1.3 folds).ConclusionsOur results indicated ABCC5 expression was associated with pemetrexed resistance in vitro and in vivo, and may be a biomarker for regimen optimization of pemetrexed in breast cancer treatment.

Abstract Aim Pemetrexed, a new generation antifolate drug, has been approved for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. However, factors affecting its efficacy and resistance have not been fully elucidated yet. ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are predictors of prognosis as well as of adverse effects of several xenobiotics. This study was designed to explore whether ABC transporters affect pemetrexed resistance and can contribute to the optimization of breast cancer treatment regimen. Methods First, we measured the expression levels of ABC transporter family members in cell lines. Subsequently, we assessed the potential role of ABC transporters in conferring resistance to pemetrexed in primary breast cancer cells isolated from 34 breast cancer patients and the role of ABCC5 in mediating pemetrexed transport and apoptotic pathways in MCF-7 cells. Finally, the influence of ABCC5 expression on the therapeutic effect of pemetrexed was evaluated in an in vivo xenograft mouse model of breast cancer. Results The expression levels of ABCC2, ABCC4, ABCC5, and ABCG2 significantly increased in the pan-resistant cell line, and the ABCC5 level in the MCF-7-ADR cell line was 5.21 times higher than that in the control group. ABCC5 expression was inversely correlated with pemetrexed sensitivity (IC50, r = 0.741; p < 0.001) in breast cancer cells derived from 34 patients. Furthermore, we found that the expression level of ABCC5 influenced the efflux and cytotoxicity of pemetrexed in MCF-7 cells, with IC50 values of 0.06 and 0.20 μg/mL in ABCC5 knockout and over-expression cells, respectively. In the in vivo study, we observed that ABCC5 affected the sensitivity of pemetrexed in breast tumor-bearing mice, and the tumor volume was much larger in the ABCC5-overexpressing group than in the control group when compared with their own initial volumes (2.7-fold vs. 1.3-fold). Conclusions Our results indicated that ABCC5 expression was associated with pemetrexed resistance in vitro and in vivo, and it may serve as a target or biomarker for the optimization of pemetrexed regimen in breast cancer treatment.

Abstract This study served as the pioneer in studying the anti-cancer role of chicken cathelicidin peptides. Chicken cathelicidins were used as anticancer agent against the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and human colon cancer cell line (HCT116). An in vivo investigation was also achieved to evaluate the role of chicken cathelicidin in Ehrlich ascites cell (EAC) suppression as a tumor model after subcutaneous implantation in mice. In addition, the mechanism of action of the interaction of cationic peptides with breast cancer cell line MCF-7 was also investigated. It was found during the study that exposure of cell lines to higher concentration of chicken cathelicidin for 72 h reduced cell lines growth rate by 90%-95%. These peptides demonstrated down-regulation of (cyclin A1 and cyclin D genes) which are essential for G1/S phase transient and S/G2 phase and consequently causes “prometaphase arrest” ultimately leading to death of MCF-7 cells. The study showed two- and three-times higher expression of the caspase-3, and − 7 genes respectively in MCF-7 cells treated with chicken peptides (especially cathelicidin-2 and − 3) relative to untreated cells which encouraged pro-apoptotic pathway, autophagy, and augmentation of the anti-proliferative activity. Our data showed that chicken ( CATH-1 ) enhance releasing of TNFα, INF-γ and upregulation of granzyme K in treated mice groups, in parallel, the tumor size and volume was reduced in the treated EAC-bearing groups after cathelicidin administration compared to untreated EAC-bearing group. Additionally, animals received high dose of cathelicidin-1 (40 µg/ml) displayed an apical survival rate compared to untreated carcinoma control and animals which received low dose of cathelicidin (10 and 20 µg/ml). Tumor of mice groups treated with chicken cathelicidin displayed high area of necrosis compared to untreated EAC-bearing mice. Based on histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining revealed that the tumor section in Ehrlich solid tumor exhibited a strong Bcl2 expression in untreated control compared to mice treated with 10 & 20 µg/ml of cathelicidin. Interestingly, low expression of Bcl2 were observed in mice taken 40 µg/ml of CATH-1. This study drive intention in treatment of cancer through the efficacy of anticancer efficacy of chicken cathelicidin peptides.

Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy among women. However, the role of microRNA (miRNA) expression in breast cancer progression is not fully understood. In this study we examined predictive interactions between differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in breast cancer cell lines representative of the common molecular subtypes. Integrative bioinformatics analysis identified miR-193 and miR-210 as potential regulatory biomarkers of mRNA in breast cancer. Several recent studies have investigated these miRNAs in a broad range of tumors, but the mechanism of their involvement in cancer progression has not previously been investigated. Methods The miRNA-mRNA interactions in breast cancer cell lines were identified by parallel expression analysis and miRNA target prediction programs. The expression profiles of mRNA and miRNAs from luminal (MCF-7, MCF-7/AZ and T47D), HER2 (BT20 and SK-BR3) and triple negative subtypes (Hs578T e MDA-MB-231) could be clearly separated by unsupervised analysis using HB4A cell line as a control. Breast cancer miRNA data from TCGA patients were grouped according to molecular subtypes and then used to validate these findings. Expression of miR-193 and miR-210 was investigated by miRNA transient silencing assays using the MCF7, BT20 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Functional studies included, xCELLigence system, ApoTox-Glo triplex assay, flow cytometry and transwell inserts were performed to determine cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, migration and invasion, respectively. Results The most evident effects were associated with cell proliferation after miR-210 silencing in triple negative subtype cell line MDA-MB-231. Using in silico prediction algorithms, TNFRSF10 was identified as one of the potential regulated downstream targets for both miRNAs. The TNFRSF10C and TNFRSF10D mRNA expression inversely correlated with the expression levels of miR-193 and miR210 in breast cell lines and breast cancer patients, respectively. Other potential regulated genes whose expression also inversely correlated with both miRNAs were CCND1, a known mediator on invasion and metastasis, and the tumor suppressor gene RUNX3. Conclusions In summary, our findings identify miR-193 and miR-210 as potential regulatory miRNA in different molecular subtypes of breast cancer and suggest that miR-210 may have a specific role in MDA-MB-231 proliferation. Our results highlight important new downstream regulated targets that may serve as promising therapeutic pathways for aggressive breast cancers

Aim: This study aimed to explore an affordable technique for the fabrication of Chitosan Nanoshuttles (CSNS) at the ultrafine nanoscale less than 100 nm with improved physicochemical properties, and cytotoxicity on the MCF-7 cell line. Background: Despite several studies reported that the antitumor effect of CS and CSNS could achieve intracellular compartment target ability, no enough available about this issue and further studies are required to address this assumption. Objectives: The objective of the current study was to investigate the potential processing variables for the production of ultrafine CSNS (> 100 nm) using Box-Benhken Design factorial design (BBD). This was achieved through a study of the effects of processing factors, such as CS concentration, CS/TPP ratio, and pH of the CS solution, on PS, PDI, and ZP. Moreover, the obtained CSNS was evaluated for physicochemical characteristics, morphology Also, hemocompatibility, and cytotoxicity using Red Blood Cells (RBCs) and MCF-7 cell lines were investigated. Methods: Box-Benhken Design factorial design (BBD) was used in the analysis of different selected variables. The effects of CS concentration, sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) ratio, and pH on particle size, Polydispersity Index (PDI), and Zeta Potential (ZP) were measured. Subsequently, the prepared CS nanoshuttles were exposed to stability studies, physicochemical characterization, hemocompatibility, and cytotoxicity using red blood cells and MCF-7 cell lines as surrogate models for in vivo study. Result: The present results revealed that the optimized CSNS have ultrafine nanosize, (78.3±0.22 nm), homogenous with PDI (0.131±0.11), and ZP (31.9±0.25 mV). Moreover, CSNS have a spherical shape, amorphous in structure, and physically stable. Also, CSNS has biological safety as indicated by a gentle effect on red blood cell hemolysis, besides, the obtained nanoshuttles decrease MCF-7 viability. Conclusion: The present findings concluded that the developed ultrafine CSNS has unique properties with enhanced cytotoxicity. thus promising for use in intracellular organelles drug delivery.

Background: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, despite many different drugs available to treat the disease. This high mortality rate is largely due to the complexity of the disease, which results from several genetic and epigenetic changes. Therefore, researchers are constantly searching for novel drugs that can target different and multiple aspects of cancer. Experimental: After a screening, we selected one novel molecule, out of ninety-four triazole derivatives, that strongly affects the viability and proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, with minimal effects on non-cancer cells. The drug, named DAN94, induced a dose-dependent decrease in MCF-7 cells viability, with an IC50 of 3.2 ± 0.2 µM. Additionally, DAN94 interfered with mitochondria metabolism promoting reactive oxygen species production, triggering apoptosis and arresting the cancer cells on G1/G0 phase of cell cycle, inhibiting cell proliferation. These effects are not observed when the drug was tested in the non-cancer cell line MCF10A. Using a mouse model with xenograft tumor implants, the drug preventing tumor growth presented no toxicity for the animal and without altering biochemical markers of hepatic function. Results and Conclusion: The novel drug DAN94 is selective for cancer cells, targeting the mitochondrial metabolism, which culminates in the cancer cell death. In the end, DAN94 has been shown to be a promising drug for controlling breast cancer with minimal undesirable effects.

Background: Some 2-thioxoimidazolidinones have been reported as anti-prostate and anti-breast cancer agents through their inhibitory activity on topoisomerase I that is considered as a potential chemotherapeutic target. Objective: A new series of 3,5-disubstituted-2-thioxoimidazolidinone derivatives 10a-f and their S-methyl analogs 11a-f were designed, synthesized and evaluated for cytotoxicity against human prostate cancer cell line (PC-3), human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) and non-cancerous human lung fibroblast cell line (WI-38). </P><P> Results and Method: While compounds 10a-f showed a broad range of activities against PC-3 and MCF-7 cell lines (IC50 = 34.0 – 186.9 and 24.6 – 147.5 µM respectively), the S-methyl analogs 11a-f showed (IC50 = 22.7 – 198.5 and 16.9 – 188.2 µM respectively) in comparison with 5-fluorouracil (IC50 = 60.7 and 40.7 µM respectively). 11c (IC50 = 22.7 and 29.2 µM) and 11f (IC50 = 28.7 and 16.9 µM) were the most potent among all compounds against both PC-3 and MCF-7 respectively with no cytotoxicity against WI-38. Conclusion: The newly synthesized compounds showed good activity against PC-3 and MCF-7 cell lines in comparison with 5-fluorouracil. Compounds 11c and 11f bound with human topoisomerase I similar to its known inhibitors and significantly inhibited its DNA relaxation activity in a dose dependent manner which may rationalize their molecular mechanism as cytotoxic agents.

Breast cancer is the subsequent foremost reason of cancer death in a woman and ranks as the primary foremost reason of death in India. In its conduct, several measures and recommendation are considered. Homoeopathic medicines are one of the part of a corresponding, and another medicine is utilized for the treatment of cancer. The main purpose of the investigation is to evaluate the anticancer action of homoeopathic arrangements of Asterias rubens on the basis of the similia principle. We directed an in vitro study using MTT assay to control the result of ultra diluted homoeopathic preparation in contradiction of two human breast glandular cancer cell lines(MCF-7 and MDA-MD- 231), frequently used for the breast cancer treatment, by testing the feasibility of breast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA-MD-231) cell line, with various attenuations of Asterias rubens at 24 hrs. Multiple comparisons between tested reagents at different concentrations confirmed the significance of the said results. At a dilution of 1:25 6CH and 30CH potency shown superior activity on MCF-7 and no such significant changes on MDA-MD-231 at any dilutions As it fails to offer estrogen receptor(ER) Also progesterone receptor (PR) expression, and also HER2 (human epidermal development variable receptor2) so continuously a triple-negative breast cancer it will be a hostility manifestation for breast cancer with restricted medicine choices. However, further potency needs to be tested. These preliminary significant results warrant further in vitro and in vivo studies to estimate the possible of Asterias rubens a medicine to treat breast cancer.

AbstractASP was used to synthesize FeNPA. They were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, TEM, SEM, XRD and ZP. The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro cytotoxic activity and antioxidant acitivities of FeNPA and ASP. The antioxidant properties were evaluated using DPPH, ABTS+ and H2O2 assays. FeNPA had higher antioxidant activity comparing to ASP according to DPPH (IC50: 3.48 μg/mL) and ABTS+ (60.52%) assays. Anti-cancer activities of FeNPA and ASP were investigated in breast cancer, melanoma and control cell lines. FeNPA was more cytotoxic than ASP in MCF-7, MeWo, CHL-1, and HEL 299 cells. FeNPA had shown that mitochondria induce apoptosis through stress in MDA-MB-231, and cells MeWo. ASP also induced apoptosis 2.23-fold in MCF-7 cells. Progesterone receptor gene expression showed a 10-fold increase in a hormone-dependent MCF-7 cell line in ASP, and FeNPA treatment. Expressions of BCL6, CXCL12, DNAJC15, RB1 and TPM1 in melanoma cancer cell lines were significantly increased in ASP and FeNPA administration. It had been shown that FeNPA regulates gene expressions that may be considered important in terms of prognosis in breast cancer and melanoma cell lines and it is suggested that gene expressions regulated by FeNPA are also evaluated in animal models in vivo.
