چکیده

objective(s): berberine is one of the main alkaloids and it has been proven to have different pharmacological effects including inhibition of cell cycle and progression of apoptosis in various cancerous cells; however, its effects on cancer metastasis are not well known. cancer cells obtain the ability to change their chemokine system and convert into metastatic cells. in this study, we examined the effect of berberine on breast cancer cell migration and its probable interaction with the chemokine system in cancer cells. materials and methods: the mcf-7 breast cancer cell line was cultured, and then, treated with berberine (10, 20, 40 and 80 μg/ml) for 24 hr. mtt assay was used in order to determine the cytotoxic effect of berberine on mcf-7 breast cancer cells. wound healing assay was applied to determine the inhibitory effect of berberine on cell migration. moreover, real-time quantitative pcr analysis of selected chemokine receptors was performed to determine the probable molecular mechanism underlying the effect of berberine on breast cancer cell migration. results: the results of wound healing assay revealed that berberine decreases cell migration. moreover, we found that the mrna levels of some chemokine receptors were reduced after berberine treatment, and this may be the underlying mechanism for decreased cell migration.  conclusion: our results indicate that berberine might be a potential preventive biofactor for human breast cancer metastasis by targeting chemokine receptor genes.

Down-regulation of HMGB1 induces apoptosis and inhibits invasion and migration of MCF-7 breast cancer cells through targeting SMARCC1

High-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a multifunctional protein with intranuclear and extracellular functions associated with most cancers including breast cancer. To investigate the effects of down-regulation of HMGB1 expression, MCF-7 breast cancer cells were infected with HMGB1-specific RNAi lentiviral vectors. The gene silencing effects on HMGB1 expression were subsequently confirmed by RT-P...

Berberine Activates Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor but Suppresses CYP1A1 Induction through miR-21-3p Stimulation in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells.

Berberine and the methylenedioxy ring-opening derivatives palmatine and jatrorrhizine are active ingredients in immunomodulatory plants, such as goldenseal. This study aimed to illustrate the effects of protoberberines on aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation and cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1 in the estrogen receptor (ER)α(+) MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Among protoberberines at non-cytotoxic conc...

Silencing of semaphorin 3C suppresses cell proliferation and migration in MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Previous studies have suggested that semaphorin 3C (SEMA3C) is involved in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of a number of types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of SEMA3C in the proliferation and migration of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Small interfering (si)RNA sequences targeting SEMA3C were constructed and transfected into MCF-7 cells in order to silence th...

TGFBR1*6A enhances the migration and invasion of MCF-7 breast cancer cells through RhoA activation.

TGFBR1*6A is a common hypomorphic variant of the type 1 transforming growth factor beta receptor (TGFBR1), which has been associated with increased cancer risk in some studies. Although TGFBR1*6A is capable of switching TGF-beta growth-inhibitory signals into growth-stimulatory signals when stably transfected into MCF-7 breast cancer cells, the biological effects of TGFBR1*6A are largely unknow...

Tocotrienol-treated MCF-7 human breast cancer cells show down-regulation of API5 and up-regulation of MIG6 genes.

BACKGROUND Tocotrienols belong to the vitamin E family and have multiple anticancer effects, such as antiproliferative, antioxidant, pro-apoptosis and antimetastatic. This study aimed to identify the genes that are regulated in human breast cancer cells following exposure to various isomers of vitamin E as these may be potential targets for the treatment of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHOD...
