Involvement of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 in gambogic acid induced suppression of MDA-MB-435 human breast carcinoma cell lung metastasis

Abstract: Cancer cell invasion is one of the crucial events in local spreading, growth, and metastasis of tumors. The present study investigated the antiinvasive and antimetastatic action of gambogic acid (GA) in MDA-MB-435 human breast carcinoma cells. GA caused a concentration-dependent suppression of cell invasion through Matrigel and significantly inhibited lung metastases of the cells transplanted in vivo. The potent effects of GA have been attributed to its ability to reduce the expression of matrix metalloprotein… Show more

“…24) Briefly, 200 µL of cell suspension (1.9×10 4 cells/well) were seeded into 96-well plates (Costar, Cambridge, MA, U.S.A.) and incubated at 37°C. After 24 h incubation, cells were treated with 0-8 µM of isomorellin in triplicate for 0, 24, 48 or 72 h. Since gambogic acid coexists with isomorellin in the same plant and is a well-known caged xanthone having potent anticancer effects, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22] 0-8 µM of gambogic acid was used as a reference compound for treating cells. Doxorubicin and 0.1% DMSO were used as the positive and negative controls, respectively.…”

“…12, 14 Wang et al 15 describe the potential role of GA to reverse docetaxel resistance though downregulation of survivin in gastric cancer cells. Survivin might play a key role in MDR in the presence of P-gp, and this might represent a novel strategy for modulating MDR in cancer cells.…”

“…Gambogic acid is the most intensively studied caged xanthone, and exhibits potent antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo (11)(12)(13) through several mechanisms, including inhibition of topoisomerase II alpha activity (14), downregulation of telomerase (15), induction of cell cycle arrest (16) and induction of apoptosis (17). Due to its low toxicity against normal tissues (18,19), gambogic acid is now approved for a phase II clinical trial in China (20).…”
