Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with a high incidence estimated to reach 2.3 million by 2030. Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is the greatest invasive class of breast cancer with a poor prognosis, due to the side-effects exerted by the chemotherapy used and the low effectivity of novel treatments. In this sense, copper compounds have shown to be potentially effective as antitumor agents, attracting increasing interest as alternatives to the usually employed platinum-derived drugs. Therefore, the aim of this work is to identify differentially expressed proteins in MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to two copper(II)-hydrazone complexes using label-free quantitative proteomics and functional bioinformatics strategies to identify the molecular mechanisms through which these copper complexes exert their antitumoral effect in TNBC cells. Both copper complexes increased proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response, as well as the downregulation of proteins related to DNA replication and repair. One of the most relevant anticancer mechanisms of action found for CuHL1 and CuHL2 was the down-regulation of gain-of-function-mutant p53. Moreover, we found a novel and interesting effect for a copper metallodrug, which was the down-regulation of proteins related to lipid synthesis and metabolism that could lead to a beneficial decrease in lipid levels.

摘要

乳腺癌是女性最常见的癌症,预计到 2030 年发病率将达到 230 万。三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)是最具侵袭性的乳腺癌类型,预后不良,这是由于所使用的化疗产生的副作用以及新型治疗方法的效果较低。在这方面,铜化合物已被证明具有作为抗肿瘤剂的潜在功效,作为通常使用的铂类药物的替代品,引起了越来越多的关注。因此,这项工作的目的是使用无标记定量蛋白质组学和功能生物信息学策略来鉴定暴露于两种铜(II)腙配合物的 MDA-MB-231 细胞中的差异表达蛋白,以确定这些铜配合物在 TNBC 细胞中发挥抗肿瘤作用的分子机制。两种铜配合物都增加了参与内质网应激和未折叠蛋白反应的蛋白质,以及与 DNA 复制和修复相关的蛋白质下调。对于 CuHL1 和 CuHL2,发现的最相关的抗癌作用机制之一是下调 gain-of-function-mutant p53。此外,我们发现了一种新型铜金属药物的有趣新作用,即下调与脂质合成和代谢相关的蛋白质,这可能导致脂质水平有益降低。
