Xanthohumol hinders invasion and cell cycle progression in cancer cells through targeting MMP2, MMP9, FAK and P53 genes in three-dimensional breast and lung cancer cells culture.
Cancer Cell International 2023 August 3
BACKGROUND: Despite recent advances in the treatment of lung and breast cancer, the mortality with these two types of cancer is high. Xanthohumol (XN) is known as a bioactive compound that shows an anticancer effect on cancer cells. Here, we intended to investigate the anticancer effects of XN on the breast and lung cancer cell lines, using the three-dimensional (3D) cell culture.
METHODS: XN was isolated from Humulus lupulus using Preparative-Thin Layer Chromatography (P-TLC) method and its authenticity was documented through Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Hydrogen Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H-NMR) methods. The spheroids of the breast (MCF-7) and lung (A549) cancer cell lines were prepared by the Hanging Drop (HD) method. Subsequently, the IC50s of XN were determined using the MTT assay in 2D and 3D cultures. Apoptosis was evaluated by Annexin V/PI flow cytometry and NFκB1/2, BAX, BCL2, and SURVIVIN expressions. Cell cycle progression was determined by P21, and P53 expressions as well as PI flow cytometry assays. Multidrug resistance was investigated through examining the expression of MDR1 and ABCG2. The invasion was examined by MMP2, MMP9, and FAK expression and F-actin labeling with Phalloidin-iFluor.
RESULTS: While the IC50s for the XN treatment were 1.9 µM and 4.74 µM in 2D cultures, these values were 12.37 µM and 31.17 µM in 3D cultures of MCF-7 and A549 cells, respectively. XN induced apoptosis in MCF-7 and A549 cell lines. Furthermore, XN treatment reduced cell cycle progression, multidrug resistance, and invasion at the molecular and/or cellular levels.
CONCLUSIONS: According to our results of XN treatment in 3D conditions, this bioactive compound can be introduced as an adjuvant anti-cancer agent for breast and lung cancer.
