Fludioxonil, an antifungal agent used as a pesticide, leaves a measurable residue in fruits and vegetables. It has been identified to cause endocrine disruption, interrupt normal development, and cause various diseases such as cancers. In this study, fludioxonil was examined for its effects on the development and metastasis of breast cancer cells. On fludioxonil exposure (10 M) for 72 h, mutant p53 (mutp53) MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells significantly inhibited cell viability and developed into polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs), with an increase in the number of nuclei and expansion in the cell body size. Fludioxonil exposure disrupted the normal cell cycle phase ratio, resulting in a new peak. In addition, PGCCs showed greater motility than the control and were resistant to anticancer drugs, i.e., doxorubicin, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil. Cyclin E1, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), and p53 expressions were remarkably increased, and the expression of cell cycle-, epithelial-mesenchymal-transition (EMT)-, and cancer stemness-related proteins were increased in the PGCCs. The daughter cells obtained from PGCCs had the single nucleus but maintained their enlarged cell size and showed greater cell migration ability and resistance to the anticancer agents. Consequently, fludioxonil accumulated Cyclin E1 and promoted the inflammatory cytokine-enriched microenvironment through the up-regulation of TNF and NF-κB which led to the transformation to PGCCs via abnormal cell cycles such as mitotic delay and mitotic slippage in mutp53 TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells. PGCCs and their daughter cells exhibited significant migration ability, chemo-resistance, and cancer stemness. These results strongly suggest that fludioxonil, as an inducer of potential genotoxicity, may induce the formation of PGCCs, leading to the formation of metastatic and stem cell-like breast cancer cells.
氟啶酮,一种作为农药使用的抗真菌剂,会在水果和蔬菜中留下可测量的残留。它已被确定会导致内分泌紊乱,干扰正常发育,并导致各种疾病,如癌症。在这项研究中,研究了氟啶酮对乳腺癌细胞的发育和转移的影响。在暴露于氟啶酮(10μM)72 小时后,突变型 p53(mutp53)MDA-MB-231 三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)细胞的活力显著受到抑制,并发育成多倍体巨癌细胞(PGCCs),细胞核数量增加,细胞体增大。氟啶酮暴露破坏了正常的细胞周期阶段比例,导致出现新的峰。此外,PGCCs比对照具有更强的迁移能力,并且对抗癌药物(如阿霉素、顺铂和 5-氟尿嘧啶)具有抗性。细胞周期蛋白 E1、核因子 kappa B(NF-κB)和 p53 的表达显著增加,PGCCs 中细胞周期、上皮-间充质转化(EMT)和癌症干细胞相关蛋白的表达增加。从 PGCCs 获得的子细胞具有单个核,但保持其增大的细胞大小,并显示出更强的细胞迁移能力和对抗癌剂的抗性。因此,氟啶酮积累细胞周期蛋白 E1,并通过上调 TNF 和 NF-κB 促进富含炎症细胞因子的微环境,导致突变型 p53 TNBC MDA-MB-231 细胞通过有丝分裂延迟和有丝分裂滑溜等异常细胞周期向 PGCCs 转化。PGCCs 及其子细胞表现出显著的迁移能力、化疗耐药性和癌症干性。这些结果强烈表明,氟啶酮作为一种潜在遗传毒性的诱导剂,可能诱导 PGCC 的形成,导致转移性和干细胞样乳腺癌细胞的形成。
