RESUMO

1α, 25, dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D), the active form of vitamin D3, has antitumor properties in several cancer cell lines in vitro. Salinomycin (Sal) has anticancer activity against cancer cell lines. This study aims to examine the cytotoxic and antiproliferative effect of Sal associated with 1,25D on MCF-7 breast carcinoma cell line cultured in monolayer (2D) and three-dimensional models (mammospheres). We also aim to evaluate the molecular mechanism of Sal and 1,25D-mediated effects. We report that Sal and 1,25D act synergistically in MCF-7 mammospheres and monolayer causing G1 cell cycle arrest, reduction of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction with a long-lasting cytotoxic response represented by clonogenic and mammosphere assay. We observed the induction of cell death by apoptosis with upregulation in mRNA levels of apoptosis-related genes (CASP7, CASP9, and BBC3). Extensive cytoplasmic vacuolization, a morphological characteristic found in paraptosis, was also seen and could be triggered by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) as we found transcriptional upregulation of genes related to ER stress (ATF6, GADD153, GADD45G, EIF2AK3, and HSPA5). Overall, Sal and 1,25D act synergistically, inhibiting cell proliferation by activating simultaneously multiple death pathways and may be a novel and promising luminal A breast cancer therapy strategy.

RESUMO

Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly occurring cancer and primary cause of cancer­related mortality in women worldwide. Investigations into BC have been conducted in in vitro and in vivo models. Of these models, the cultivation of tumor cell lines in two­dimensional models is the most widely employed in vitro model to study tumor physiology. However, this approach does not accurately model all aspects observed in tumors. To address these limitations, three­dimensional (3D) in vitro models have been developed. In these, it is possible to reproduce the interaction between tumor cells and the extracellular matrix, as well as the interrelationship between tumor cells and stromal cells, in order to replicate the interactions observed within the 3D environment of in vivo tumors. The present review summarizes the most common 3D in vitro models used to study BC, including spheroid models, organ­on­a­chip models, hydrogel models and bio­printed models, with a discussion of their particular advantages and limitations.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mammospheres are breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) that could be yielded through culturing cells in non-adherent and non-differentiating condition. With regard to therapy resistance of cancer stem cells (CSCs), it is essential to discover efficient approaches targeting CSCs. Viola odorata extract has been considered as a traditional herbal anti-metastatic drug in several cancer cells. Effect of this drug on BCSCs has not been clearly identified. Current study tries to detect and to compare effect of Viola odorata extract on malignant characterization of breast cancer cell lines and BCSCs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MCF7 and SKBR3 and their derived mammospheres as BCSCs were used and the effect of alcoholic extraction of Viola odorata on apoptosis and malignant characters of MCF7, SKBR3 and their derived BCSCs were analyzed and compared. RESULTS: Viola odorata extract induced cell death in MCF7, SKBR3 and their derived mammospheres through apoptosis without any effects on MCF10A. Also, this extract showed anti-migratory, anti-invasion and anti-colony formation activity in MCF7, SKBR3 and their derived mammospheres which was significantly more in MCF7- and SKBR3-derived mammospheres. Also, this extract decreased size and volume of tumors generated by MCF7, SKBR3 and their derived mammospheres in chicken embryo model. CONCLUSION: Viola odorata extract exerted anti-cancerous activity on both breast cancer cell lines and their derived BCSCs. Anti-cancerous activity of this extract was significantly more in MCF7-, SKBR3-derived mammospheres in comparison with dedicated cell lines. Data suggest that Viola odorata extract mostly targets cancerous cells, not normal cells with exception in high concentration. It acts in a cell-dependent manner.
