    Abstract The development of colon cancer, one of the most common malignancies, is accompanied with numerous lipid alterations. However, analyses of whole tumor samples may not always provide an accurate description of specific changes occurring directly in tumor epithelial cells. Here, we analyzed in detail the phospholipid (PL), lysophospholipid (lysoPL), and fatty acid (FA) profiles of purified EpCAM

    Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a group of polyhydroxylated sterol derivatives with important regulatory roles in various plant physiological processes. The aim of this study was to examine the mechanism of the antiproliferative activity of natural BRs 28-homocastasterone (28-homoCS) and 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBL) in hormone-sensitive and -insensitive (LNCaP and DU-145, respectively) human prostate cancer cell lines. The effects of BRs on prostate cancer cells were surveyed using flow cytometry, Western blotting, TUNEL, DNA ladder assays and immunofluorescence analyses. The studied BRs inhibited cell growth and induced G₁ blocks in LNCaP cells accompanied by reductions in cyclin D₁, CDK4/6 and pRb expression. Following BR treatment of DU-145 cells, increases in proportions of cells in the G₂/M phase of cell cycle were observed, accompanied by down-regulation of cyclins A and B₁. Changes in AR localization patterns in LNCaP cells treated with BRs were shown by immunofluorescence analysis. Furthermore, apoptotic detection methods demonstrated induction of apoptosis mediated by BRs in both cell lines, although changes in the expression of apoptosis-related proteins were modulated differently by 28-homoCS and 24-piBL in each cell line. The studied BRs seem to exert potent growth inhibitory and pro-apoptotic effects and could be therefore highly valuable new candidates for prostate anticancer drugs.

    Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant hormones that appear to be ubiquitous in both lower and higher plants. Recently, we published the first evidence that some natural BRs induce cell growth inhibitory responses in several human cancer cell lines without affecting normal non-tumor cell growth (BJ fibroblasts). The aim of the study presented here was to examine the mechanism of the antiproliferative activity of the natural BRs 28-homocastasterone (28-homoCS) and 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBL) in human hormone-sensitive and -insensitive (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468, respectively) breast cancer cell lines. The effects of 6, 12 and 24h treatments with 28-homoCS and 24-epiBL on cancer cells were surveyed using flow cytometry, Western blotting, TUNEL assays and immunofluorescence analyses. The studied BRs inhibited cell growth and induced blocks in the G(1) cell cycle phase. ER-α immunoreactivity was uniformly present in the nuclei of control MCF-7 cells, while cytoplasmic speckles of ER-α immunofluorescence appeared in BR-treated cells (IC(50), 24h). ER-β was relocated to the nuclei following 28-homoCS treatment and found predominantly at the periphery of the nuclei in 24-epiBL-treated cells after 24h of treatment. These changes were also accompanied by down-regulation of the ERs following BR treatment. In addition, BR application to breast cancer cells resulted in G(1) phase arrest. Furthermore, TUNEL staining and double staining with propidium iodide and acridine orange demonstrated the BR-mediated induction of apoptosis in both cell lines, although changes in the expression of apoptosis-related proteins were modulated differently by the BRs in each cell line. The studied BRs seem to exert potent growth inhibitory effects via interactions with the cell cycle machinery, and they could be highly valuable leads for agents for managing breast cancer.
