Abstract

Effective targeting of metastasis is considered the main problem in cancer therapy. The development of herbal alkaloid Berberine (Ber)-based anticancer drugs is limited due to Ber' low effective concentration, poor membrane permeability, and short plasma half-life. To overcome these limitations, we used Ber noncovalently bound to C fullerene (C). The complexation between C and Ber molecules was evidenced with computer simulation. The aim of the present study was to estimate the effect of the free Ber and C-Ber nanocomplex in a low Ber equivalent concentration on Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC) invasion potential, expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers in vitro, and the ability of cancer cells to form distant lung metastases in vivo in a mice model of LLC. It was shown that in contrast to free Ber its nanocomplex with C demonstrated significantly higher efficiency to suppress invasion potential, to downregulate the level of EMT-inducing transcription factors SNAI1, ZEB1, and TWIST1, to unblock expression of epithelial marker E-cadherin, and to repress cancer stem cells-like markers. More importantly, a relatively low dose of C-Ber nanocomplex was able to suppress lung metastasis in vivo. These findings indicated that сomplexation of natural alkaloid Ber with C can be used as an additional therapeutic strategy against aggressive lung cancer.

摘要

有效靶向转移被认为是癌症治疗中的主要问题。基于草药生物碱黄连素(Ber)的抗癌药物的开发受到限制,因为黄连素有效浓度低、膜通透性差且血浆半衰期短。为了克服这些限制,我们使用了与C富勒烯(C)非共价结合的黄连素。通过计算机模拟证明了C与黄连素分子之间的络合作用。本研究的目的是评估低黄连素当量浓度下游离黄连素和C-Ber纳米复合物对刘易斯肺癌细胞(LLC)侵袭潜能、体外上皮-间质转化(EMT)标志物表达以及在LLC小鼠模型中癌细胞在体内形成远处肺转移能力的影响。结果表明,与游离黄连素相比,其与C的纳米复合物在抑制侵袭潜能、下调EMT诱导转录因子SNAI1、ZEB1和TWIST1水平、解除上皮标志物E-钙黏蛋白表达受阻以及抑制癌症干细胞样标志物方面表现出显著更高的效率。更重要的是,相对低剂量的C-Ber纳米复合物能够在体内抑制肺转移。这些发现表明,天然生物碱黄连素与C的络合可作为对抗侵袭性肺癌的一种额外治疗策略。
