Mucoxin is a potential compound used as an anticancer agent. Mucoxin induced apoptosis and inhibit proliferation in T47D breast cancer cells line. This study aims to determine the effect of mucoxin on proinflammatory cytokines in breast cancer. Proinflammatorycytokines play important role in the development and metastasis of cancer cells. Breast cancer cell line MCF-7 were grouped into five groups referred to mucoxin doses assays, they are 0 ng/mL; 0,1ng/mL; 0,5 ng/mL; 1 ng/mL; 5 ng/mL with three replication of each. Mucoxin was given for 48 hours. The levels of IL 6 and TNF-α assayed using ELISA methods. The results showed mucoxin decreases IL 6 levels in all treatment doses, but was not significant. Mucoxin also decreases TNF-α levels, with a significant reduction occurring at doses of 1 ng/mL and 5 ng/mL. It is suggested that mucoxin has potent to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines that play a role in the development and metastasis of breast cancer.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevailing cancers in females, while the cancerous heterogeneity hinders its early diagnosis and subsequent therapy. miR-143-3p is a critical mediator in malignancy development and tumorigenesis as a tumor suppressor. Its role in various tumor entities has been investigated, such as colon cancer and breast cancer. Using MCF-7 breast cancer cell model, we planned to explore the underlying mechanisms of miR-143/KLF-5 axis in retarding breast cancer cells growth. Bioinformatics analysis searched the target KLF5 of miR-143, and the miR-143-targeted mimic and inhibitor were employed to detect the changes of KLF5. After transfection of mimic miR-143, the CCK-8 reagent assessed cell proliferation. Based on optimal stimulation time, miR-143 stimulation model was established, followed by determining expression of KLF5, EGFR and PCNA via western blot and qPCR. Eventually, siRNA-KLF5 was applied to silencing KLF5 level to evaluate its role in MCF-7 cells. The transcription and translation levels of KLF5 were diminished in miR-143-mimic transfected MCF-7 cells, while enhanced in miR-143-inhibitor transfected MCF-7 cells. When MCF-7 cells were transfected with miR-143-mimic at different time points, 48 hours was found to be the optimal transfection time, with reduced transcription and translation levels of KLF5, EGFR and PCNA. The transcription and translation levels of PNCA and EGFR were declined after silencing KLF5 by siRNA. miR-143/KLF5 axis could retard the proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

As chemotherapeutic backbone for breast cancer therapy, doxorubicin showed various side effects and induced resistancy of breast cancer cells. Development of targeted therapy on breast cancer focused on combinatorial therapy of doxorubicin and molecular targeted agents. PGV-0 and PGV-1, a curcumin analogue showed potency as co-chemotherapeutic agent with doxorubicin. Our previous study of PGV-0 and PGV-1 showed cytotoxic activity in T47D cells. Therefore, the aim of this research is to examine the synergistic effect of PGV-0, PGV-1 on the cytotoxic activity of doxorubicin through cell cycle modulation and apoptotic induction on MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic assay of PGV-0, PGV-1, doxorubicin, and their combination were carried out by using MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were determined by flowcytometer FACS-Calibur and the flowcytometry data was analyzed using Cell Quest program. Single treatment of PGV-0, PGV-1 and doxorubicin showed cytotoxic effect on MCF-7 with cell viability IC50 value 50 µM, 6 µM and 350 nM respectively. Single treatment of Doxorubicin 175 nM induced G2/M arrest. Single treatment of PGV-0 5 µM induced G2/M arrest while in higher dose 12.5  µM, PGV-0 induced apoptosis. Combination of doxorubicin 175 nM and PGV-0 5 µM induced apoptosis. Combination of doxorubicin 175 nM and PGV-0 12.5 µM also increased apoptosis induction. Single treatment of PGV-1 0.6 µM induced G1 arrest while in higher dose 1.5  µM, PGV-1 induced apoptosis. Combination of doxorubicin 175 nM and PGV-1 0.6 µM induced apoptosis. Combination of doxorubicin 175 nM and PGV-0 1.5 µM also increased apoptosis induction. PGV-0 and PGV-1 are potential to be delevoped as co-chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle modulation, but the molecular mechanism need to be explored detail.  Key words: PGV-0, PGV-1, doxorubicin, co-chemotherapy, breast cancer, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis

Apoptotic pathways in breast cancer cells are frequently altered, reducing the efficiency of radiotherapy. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), known to trigger apoptosis, was tested as radiosensitizer in breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The CLA-mix, made up of the isomers CLA-9cis 11trans and CLA-10trans 12cis, was compared to three purified isomers, i.e., the CLA-9cis 11cis, CLA-9cis 11trans, and CLA-10trans 12cis. Using the apoptotic marker YO-PRO®-1, the CLA-9cis 11cis at 50 µmol/L turned out to be the best apoptotic inducer leading to a 10-fold increase in MCF-7 cells and a 2,5-fold increase in MDA-MB-231 cells, comparatively to the CLA-mix. Contrary to previous studies on colorectal and prostate cancer cells, CLA-10trans 12cis does not lead to an apoptotic response on breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. Our results also suggest that the main components of the CLA-mix (CLA-9cis 11trans and CLA-10trans 12cis) are not involved in the induction of apoptosis in the breast cancer cells studied. A dose of 5 Gy did not induce apoptosis in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. The addition of CLA-9cis 11cis or CLA-mix has allowed us to observe a radiation-induced apoptosis, with the CLA-9cis 11cis being about 8-fold better than the CLA-mix. CLA-9cis 11cis turned out to be the best radiosensitizer, although the isomers CLA-9cis 11trans and CLA-10trans 12cis have also reduced the cell survival following irradiation, but using a mechanism not related to apoptosis. In conclusion, the radiosensitizing property of CLA-9cis 11cis supports its potential as an agent to improve radiotherapy against breast carcinoma.Key words: breast cancer, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), radiotherapy, apoptosis.

The phosphatidylethanolamine (PE)-binding proteins (PEBPs) are an evolutionarily conserved family of proteins with pivotal biological functions. Here we describe the cloning and functional characterization of a novel family member, human phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 4 (hPEBP4). hPEBP4 is expressed in most human tissues and highly expressed in tumor cells. Its expression in tumor cells is further enhanced upon tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α treatment, whereas hPEBP4 normally co-localizes with lysosomes, TNFα stimulation triggers its transfer to the cell membrane, where it binds to Raf-1 and MEK1. L929 cells overexpressing hPEBP4 are resistant to both TNFα-induced ERK1/2, MEK1, and JNK activation and TNFα-mediated apoptosis. Co-precipitation andin vitroprotein binding assay demonstrated that hPEBP4 interacts with Raf-1 and MEK1. A truncated form of hPEBP4, lacking the PE-binding domain, maintains lysosomal co-localization but has no effect on cellular responses to TNFα. Given that MCF-7 breast cancer cells expressed hPEBP4 at a high level, small interfering RNA was used to silence the expression of hPEBP4. We demonstrated that down-regulation of hPEBP4 expression sensitizes MCF-7 breast cancer cells to TNFα-induced apoptosis. hPEBP4 appears to promote cellular resistance to TNF-induced apoptosis by inhibiting activation of the Raf-1/MEK/ERK pathway, JNK, and PE externalization, and the conserved region of PE-binding domain appears to play a vital role in this biological activity of hPEBP4.

The microRNA-200 (miR-200) family has been reported to be vital for the inhibition of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumor cells. The miR-200 family represents a complex multi-factorial regulatory network which has not been well described in breast cancer. This study aimed to clarify the underlying regulatory association between IL-8 and miR-200 family in the process of EMT in breast cancer cell. In estrogen-receptor (ER) positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7, IL-8 overexpression cells were performed by lentivirus transfection as endogenous regulation with additional exogenous IL-8 stimulation. Transient overexpressions of miR-200 family were performed after endogenous or exogenous IL-8 overexpression in MCF-7 cells. IL-8 knockdown cells were constructed via siRNA and shRNA transfection in triple negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. N-cadherin, vimentin and ZEB2 were down-regulated and E-cadherin was up-regulated in IL-8 knockdown group compared with control group. On the other hand, N-cadherin, vimentin and ZEB2 were up-regulated and E-cadherin was down-regulated in IL-8 overexpression group compared with control group. This indicated IL-8 promotes EMT in breast cancer cells. Transwell assay showed that IL-8 increased the migration and invasiveness of tumor cells. Furthermore, we performed transient overexpression of miR-200 family after endogenous or exogenous IL-8 overexpression in MCF-7 cells, which showed that the miR-200 family could inhibit EMT induced by IL-8. IL-8 promoted EMT via downregulation of miR-200 family expression in breast cancer cells and increases tumor cell migration and invasion.

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays a significant role in inflammation and cancer-related apoptosis. We identified a TNF-α-mediated epigenetic mechanism of apoptotic cell death regulation in estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-positive human breast cancer cells. To assess the apoptotic effect of TNF-α, annexin V/ propidium iodide (PI) double staining, cell viability assays, and Western blotting were performed. To elucidate this mechanism, histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity assay and immunoprecipitation (IP) were conducted; the mechanism was subsequently confirmed through chromatin IP (ChIP) assays. Finally, we assessed HDAC3–ERα-mediated apoptotic cell death after TNF-α treatment in ERα-positive human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells via the transcriptional activation of p53 target genes using luciferase assay and quantitative reverse transcription PCR. The TNF-α-induced selective apoptosis in MCF-7 cells was negatively regulated by the HDAC3–ERα complex in a caspase-7-dependent manner. HDAC3 possessed a p53-binding element, thus suppressing the transcriptional activity of its target genes. In contrast, MCF-7 cell treatment with TNF-α led to dissociation of the HDAC3–ERα complex and substitution of the occupancy on the promoter by the p53–p300 complex, thus accelerating p53 target gene expression. In this process, p53 stabilization was accompanied by its acetylation. This study showed that p53-mediated apoptosis in ERα-positive human breast cancer cells was negatively regulated by HDAC3–ERα in a caspase-7-dependent manner. Therefore, these proteins have potential application in therapeutic strategies.
