Abstract

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) grows fast and represents poor prognosis and management. This work is aimed to determine the effect of concomitant use of naringenin and metformin with doxorubicin chemotherapy using in vitro and in vivo breast carcinoma models. Cell viability and xenograft study were performed using TNBC cell lines. The use of naringenin and metformin together with doxorubicin, have shown a significant increase in cytotoxicity when compared with the same concentration of doxorubicin alone in MDA-MB-231 cells and 4T1 cells in vitro. In the xenograft mouse model, a significant reduction of tumor volume and tumor weight was observed in contrast to a similar dose of doxorubicin alone; suggesting combining treatment enhanced antitumor activity in vivo. Besides, H&E and Ki-67 staining of tumor biopsies showed enhancement of the antitumor activity via increasing necrosis and inhibiting cell proliferation respectively. Additionally, there was no marked change observed in the organ weights, blood glucose, cardiac histology and cardiac Troponin I levels under the study treatment groups. The beneficial effects of using both the naringenin and metformin along with the lower dose of doxorubicin were evident from the reduced dose-related body weight loss and increase in cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) compared to a large dose of doxorubicin alone. Thus, naringenin and metformin combination with doxorubicin found useful as an adjunct therapy to improve the effectiveness of doxorubicin at the lower dose against the breast carcinoma.

摘要

三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)生长迅速,预示着预后不良和治疗困难。本研究旨在通过体外和体内乳腺癌模型,确定柚皮苷和二甲双胍与多柔比星化疗同时使用的效果。采用 TNBC 细胞系进行细胞活力和异种移植研究。与单独使用相同浓度多柔比星相比,柚皮苷和二甲双胍联合使用,在 MDA-MB-231 细胞和 4T1 细胞中显示出显著增加的细胞毒性。在异种移植小鼠模型中,与单独使用多柔比星相似剂量相比,肿瘤体积和重量显著减少;提示联合治疗增强了体内抗肿瘤活性。此外,肿瘤活检的 H&E 和 Ki-67 染色显示,通过增加坏死和抑制细胞增殖,分别增强了抗肿瘤活性。此外,在研究治疗组中,器官重量、血糖、心脏组织学和心脏肌钙蛋白 I 水平没有明显变化。与单独使用大剂量多柔比星相比,使用柚皮苷和二甲双胍联合小剂量多柔比星的有益效果明显,表现在减轻与剂量相关的体重减轻和增加细胞因子(TNF-α 和 IL-1β)。因此,柚皮苷和二甲双胍联合多柔比星被发现可作为辅助治疗,以提高多柔比星在较低剂量下对乳腺癌的疗效。
