Aim: To investigate the role of hepcidin (Hepc) in the formation of cells malignant phenotype in vitro and its expression in the dyna mics of growth of Walker-256 carcinosarcoma with different sensitivity to doxorubicin (Dox). Materials and Methods: The cell lines used in the analysis included T47D, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MCF/CP, and MCF/Dox. Hepc expression was studied by immunocytochemical method. “Free” iron content was determined by EPR spectroscopy. Determination of Hepc expression in homogenates of tumor tissue and in blood serum of rats with Dox-sensitive and -resistant Walker-256 carcinosarcoma was performed. Results: It was found that Hepc levels in breast cancer (BC) cells with high degree of malignancy (MDA-MB-231, MDAMB-468) and drug-resistant phenotype (MCF/CP, MCF/Dox) were by 1.5–2 times higher (p < 0.05) in comparison with sensitive and less malignant BC cells. The development of drug-resistant phenotype in Walker-256 carcinosarcoma cells was accompanied by increasing of Hepc and “free” iron content (by 2.4 and 1.2 times, respectively). Conclusion: The data of in vitro and in vivo research evidenced on involvement of Hepc in formation of BC cells malignant phenotype and their resistance to Dox.

Numerous adverse effects limit the applicability of mitoxantrone for the treatment of drug-resistant tumors, including carcinosarcoma. Here, we estimated the additive effects of mitoxantrone and curcumin, a plant-derived biomolecule isolated from Curcuma longa, on the neoplastic and invasive potential of carcinosarcoma cells in vitro. Curcumin augmented cytostatic, cytotoxic and anti-invasive effects of mitoxantrone on Walker-256 cells. It also strengthened inhibitory effects of mitoxantrone on the motility of drug-resistant Walker-256 cells that had retained the viability after long-term mitoxantrone/curcumin treatment. Thus, curcumin reduces the effective doses of mitoxantrone and augments its interference with the invasive potential of drug-resistant carcinosarcoma cells.
