The secondary metabolites of the fungus , fumiquinazolines F and G, have antibacterial and antifungal characteristics; however, their potential anti-tumor action against human cancer cells remains unknown. The goal of our study was to determine the biological efficacy of fumiquinazolines F and G on breast and prostate cancer cells. Cancer cell proliferation and migration were monitored in real time using xCELLigence technology and flow cytometry. Alterations in mRNA and protein expression were assessed by RT-qPCR, ELISA, and Western blotting. Our data indicate that fumiquinazolines F and G are more effective in inhibiting breast cancer cell proliferation than prostate cancer cells. Fumiquinazoline F is active against both hormone-dependent epithelial MCF-7 (IC 48 μM) and hormone-resistant triple-negative mesenchymal MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (IC 54.1 μM). The metabolite has low cytotoxicity but slows cell cycle progression. In fumiquinazoline F-treated MDA-MB-231 cells, the levels of proteins implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) (such as E-cadherin, vimentin, and CD44) fluctuate, resulting in a decrease in cell migratory rate and adhesion to a hyaluronic acid-coated substrate. Thus, fumiquinazolines F and G exhibit anticancer activity by inhibiting EMT, cell proliferation, and migration, hence reverting malignant cells to a less pathogenic phenotype. The compound's multi-target anticancer profile underscores its potential for further exploration of novel EMT-regulating pathways.
该真菌的次生代谢产物烟曲霉喹唑啉F和G具有抗菌和抗真菌特性;然而,它们对人类癌细胞的潜在抗肿瘤作用尚不清楚。我们研究的目的是确定烟曲霉喹唑啉F和G对乳腺癌和前列腺癌细胞的生物学功效。使用xCELLigence技术和流式细胞术实时监测癌细胞的增殖和迁移。通过RT-qPCR、ELISA和蛋白质印迹法评估mRNA和蛋白质表达的变化。我们的数据表明,烟曲霉喹唑啉F和G在抑制乳腺癌细胞增殖方面比前列腺癌细胞更有效。烟曲霉喹唑啉F对激素依赖性上皮MCF-7细胞(IC 48 μM)和激素抵抗性三阴性间充质MDA-MB-231乳腺癌细胞(IC 54.1 μM)均有活性。该代谢产物细胞毒性低,但会减缓细胞周期进程。在烟曲霉喹唑啉F处理的MDA-MB-231细胞中,参与上皮-间质转化(EMT)的蛋白质(如E-钙黏蛋白、波形蛋白和CD44)水平发生波动,导致细胞迁移率降低以及对透明质酸包被底物的黏附减少。因此,烟曲霉喹唑啉F和G通过抑制EMT、细胞增殖和迁移发挥抗癌活性,从而使恶性细胞恢复为致病性较低的表型。该化合物的多靶点抗癌特性突出了其进一步探索新型EMT调节途径的潜力。
