THE EFFECT OF QUINACRINE ON THE EXPRESSION OF WNT3A GENE IN MDA-MB 231 AND MCF7 BREAST CANCER CELL LINES
Authors
Abstract:
Background & Aims: Triple-negative breast cancer cells refer to any breast cancer that does not express the genes for the estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 receptors. The Wnt signaling pathway is important in the development and progression of various types of cancers. Quinacrine, a derivative of 9-aminoacridine, has been shown to inhibit the growth of several types of cancer cells. In this study, we examined the effect of Quinacrine on Wnt3a gene of Wnt signaling pathway in breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB 231 and MCF7. MDA-MB 231 cell line has triple-negative breast cancer cell properties. Materials & Methods: Breast cancer cell lines, MDA-MB 231 and MCF7, were treated with 0.5 µM Quinacrine for 3 days. The dose was selected using the MTT assay. The expression of Wnt3a gene was quantified by Real-time PCR. Significance of observations was checked by means of appropriate statistical methods using p<0.05 as the level of significance. Results: Quinacrine did not have a meaningful effect on Wnt3a gene expression on the MDA-MB 231 cell line (p = 0.34) in 0.5 µM concentration for 72 hours, but a decrease in Wnt3a gene expression of 1.3 times was observed in MCF7 cell line (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The Wnt3a gene is important in the Wnt signaling pathway and the present study demonstrated that Quinacrine could not affect the expression of this gene in the MDA-MB 231 cell line, however in the MCF7 cell line, a decrease in the Wnt3a gene expression was observed.

conclusions these outcomes support our theory that rapamycin increases oxidative stress in mcf-7 and mda mb-231 cells but also shows high levels of antioxidant effects, which probably limit the effects of the rapamycin on the same issue in the clinic. methods the mcf-7 and mda mb-231 cell lines were cultivated and treated with rapamycin for 72 hours. the viability of the cells was determined us...

Golgi phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) has been implicated in the development of carcinomas in many human tissues, and is currently considered a bona fide oncoprotein. Importantly, several tumor types show overexpression of GOLPH3, which is associated with tumor progress and poor prognosis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms that connect GOLPH3 function with tumorigenicity are poorly underst...
