چکیده
Novel quinuclidinone derivatives that cause cytotoxicity in human non-small lung carcinoma epithelial cells null for p53 (H1299) have been previously reported. The current study investigates the effect of these derivatives on cytotoxicity of human MCF-7 cells and normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-12a). This study shows that quinuclidinone derivatives 8a and 8b induce growth inhibition mainly through apoptosis of breast cancer cells (MCF-7) with less cytotoxic effect in normal breast epithelial cells (MCF-12a) for derivative 8a while 8b induced similar cytotoxicity for both breast cancer cells and normal breast epithelial cells. Derivative 8a was chosen for further investigation. 8a induced G(1) phase arrest, presumably sensitizing the breast cancer cells to apoptosis by increasing expression level of p21 and cyclin E. Moreover, 8a increased expression level of ERK1, p53 and BAX, and it reduced expression level of AKT and BCL-2. By investigating the sphingomyelinase apoptosis pathway, it was observed that 8a significantly increased sphingomyelinase activity and increased formation of ceramide as well as increased expression levels of JNK phoshorylation, caspase-8 and caspase-9. Based on previous results it is proposed that quinuclidinone derivative 8a provokes apoptosis in human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) via the sphingomyelinase pathway.

Effects of berberine on proliferation, cell cycle distribution and apoptosis of human breast cancer T47D and MCF7 cell lines
Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...

Sambucus Nigra Synergizes Cisplatin to Improve Apoptosis and Metabolic Disorders, and Reduce Drug Resistance in Two Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines
Background: Despite modern developments in its management, still major concerns remain about drug resistance in chemotherapy. Natural adjuvants combined with chemotherapy might be the answer. We examined the anti-cancer, anti-proliferative and synergistic effects of Sambucus nigra extract with cisplatin chemotherapy (CDDP) on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human cancer cell lines. Methods: MCF-7 and MDA...
