Signaling pathways involved in the antiproliferative effect of molecular iodine in normal and tumoral breast cells: evidence that 6-iodolactone mediates apoptotic effects

Abstract: Previous reports have documented the antiproliferative properties of I 2 and the arachidonic acid (AA) derivative 6-iodolactone (6-IL) in both thyroid and mammary glands. In this study, we characterized the cellular pathways activated by these molecules and their effects on cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in normal (MCF-12F) and cancerous (MCF-7) breast cells. Low-to-moderate concentrations of I 2 (10-20 mM) cause G1 and G2/M phase arrest in MCF-12F and caspase-dependent apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. In normal cel… Show more

“…The presence of LPO in pregnant and lactating mammary glands is considered to be an adaptive mechanism to ensure an adequate supply of iodine to the neonate (Memphan 1987). This enzyme has been reported to be present at a very low concentration or even absent in non-lactating mammary glands and in some tumor cell models such as MNU tumors or MCF-7 and MDA-MD231 cells (Anguiano et al 2007, Arroyo-Helguera et al 2008; however, the present data show that LPO is expressed in precancerous and cancerous DMBA-treated mammary cells. Furthermore, preliminary data from our laboratory demonstrate the presence of LPO in samples of early and advanced human breast cancer (unpublished data).…”

“…KJ was found to have no effect, but at high concentrations enhances the antiproliferative/cytotoxic effect of molecular iodine. Although the mechanisms of action were not analysed here, it is most likely that mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis pathways are involved as previously described for I 2 and iodolactones (6,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13).…”

“…During gestation, iodine deficiency is a risk factor of preeclampsia (13)(14)(15)(16)(17). Iodine per se has several functions: bactericidal, apoptosis inducer, antioxidant, and it has been recently involved in migration, invasion and trophoblast differentiation (18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Regarding the role of iodine as an antioxidant, it has been proposed that it can act directly as an electron donor and compete for binding sites with free radicals (23).…”
