Lippia origanoides extract induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis and suppresses NF-κB signaling in triple-negative breast cancer cells

Abstract: Treatments targeting hormone receptors typically fail to provide a positive clinical outcome against triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC), which lack expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2/neu). Towards identifying viable treatments for aggressive breast cancer, we have tested an extract of the tropical plant Lippia origanoides (LOE) on TNBC and normal cells lines to uncover its potential anticancer effects. Treatment with LOE reduce… Show more

“…Studies have shown that NF-κB signaling was related to apoptosis. That is to say, high activity of NF-κB signaling could cause anti-apoptosis in cancer cells [ 52 54 ]. Therefore, suppression of NF-κB signaling was probably responsible for Andro-induced apoptosis in MCF-7, which could also inhibit COX-2 expression.…”

“…Although breast cancer diagnosis and therapy have both improved, satisfactory therapeutic effects have not yet been achieved due to disease complexity. Tumorigenesis is a multifactorial and multistep process involving a range of genetic alterations, including the activation of oncogenes, the inactivation of anti-oncogenes and the abnormal expression of cancer-related genes (4)(5)(6). Previous studies have unraveled some of the pathological mechanisms involved in breast tumorigenesis (7,8); however, these have yet to be fully elucidated.…”

“…At present, not a few DNA repair genes, such as PARP1, XRCC1, 53BP1, ERCC1, have been found to be associated with the prognosis of breast cancer [25,26]. PARP1 promotes the expression of HIF-1α by activating nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and promotes the polarization of macrophages M2, leading to the up-regulation of tumor-related macrophages (TAMs), such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and IL-6, thus promoting the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells, promoting the formation of tumor microvessels and microlymphatics [27]. And ERCC1 proteins can form heterodimers with DNA repair enzyme de ciency complementary gene (XPF) and perform functions by splicing at the 5'end of the damaged DNA single strand.…”
