Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and highly metastatic breast cancer subtype with limited treatment options. Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with a worse prognosis in those with TNBC. Moringa oleifera (moringa) is a tropical edible plant used for both food and medicinal purposes and found to have anti-obesity and anti-cancer effects in vitro and in preclinical models. The anti-cancer effects of moringa seed extract alone and in combination with chemotherapy were evaluated in immunocompromised female mice with diet-induced obesity bearing MDA-MB-231-derived xenograft tumors. Moringa supplementation protected against high-fat diet- and chemotherapy-induced increases in fasting glucose and improved insulin sensitivity. Moringa supplementation alone did not attenuate tumor growth relative to chemotherapy alone, and in combination worsened tumor progression. Moringa supplementation alone reduced angiogenesis, but this effect was abrogated in combination with chemotherapy. Moringa supplementation may be an effective strategy to improve metabolic health in mice with obesity and TNBC and reduce angiogenesis in tumors, but may have a negative interaction when used as a concurrent complementary therapy. Caution should be taken when considering the consumption of moringa seed extracts while receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer treatment. Further investigations of alternative timings of moringa therapy are warranted.
三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是一种侵袭性强且具有高度转移性的乳腺癌亚型,治疗选择有限。肥胖和胰岛素抵抗与TNBC患者的预后较差相关。辣木是一种热带可食用植物,兼具食用和药用价值,在体外和临床前模型中均显示出具有抗肥胖和抗癌作用。在饮食诱导肥胖且携带MDA-MB-231来源异种移植肿瘤的免疫受损雌性小鼠中,评估了辣木籽提取物单独及与化疗联合使用的抗癌效果。补充辣木可预防高脂饮食和化疗引起的空腹血糖升高,并改善胰岛素敏感性。单独补充辣木相对于单独化疗并未减弱肿瘤生长,联合使用反而会使肿瘤进展恶化。单独补充辣木可减少血管生成,但与化疗联合使用时这种效果会被消除。补充辣木可能是改善肥胖和TNBC小鼠代谢健康以及减少肿瘤血管生成的有效策略,但作为同时进行的辅助治疗时可能会产生负面相互作用。在接受乳腺癌化疗时考虑食用辣木籽提取物时应谨慎。有必要进一步研究辣木治疗的其他时间安排。
