ABSTRACT

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide.It is a cancer that originates from the mammary ducts and involves mutations in multiple genes.Recently,the treatment of breast cancer has become increasingly challenging owing to the increase in tumor het-erogeneity and aggressiveness,which gives rise to therapeutic resistance.Epidemiological,population-based,and hospital-based case-control studies have demonstrated an association between high intake of certain Allium vegetables and a reduced risk in the development of breast cancer.Diallyl disulfide(DADS)and diallyl trisulfide(DATS)are the main allyl sulfur compounds present in garlic,and are known to exhibit anticancer activity as they interfere with breast cancer cell proliferation,tumor metastasis,and angiogenesis.The present review highlights multidrug resistance mechanisms and their signaling pathways in breast cancer.This review discusses the potential anticancer activities of DADS and DATS,with emphasis on drug resistance in triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC).Understanding the anticancer activities of DADS and DATS provides insights into their potential in targeting drug resistance mecha-nisms of TNBC,especially in clinical studies.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of diallyl trisulfide (DATS) on the expression of folate receptor α (FRα) in human gastric cancer cells and the related regulatory mechanism.Methods:Human gastric cancer cell lines BGC823 and AGS were selected, BGC823 cells were treated with 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol/L DATS for 48 hours, and AGS cells were treated with 5, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L DATS for 48 hours. Cells treated with 6 μmol/L histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) were used as positive control for epigenetic study, and cells untreated with DATS were used as negative control. The apoptosis of gastric cancer cells induced by DATS was detected by flow cytometry. After BGC823 and AGS cells were treated by DATS for 48 hours, they were replaced with DATS-free cell culture medium and cultured for different time to detect the changes in FRα protein expression. BGC823 and AGS cells were treated with 6 μmol/L TSA or 40 μmol/L DATS. The protein expression levels of FRα, HDAC1 and HDAC2, and histone H3 lysine 9 acetylation (H3K9ac) and histone H4 lysine 5 acetylation (H4K5ac) were detected by Western blot. BGC823 cells were inoculated into BALB/c nude mice to establish tumor bearing model. The nude mice in DATS group were injected intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg DATS for 16 days, and then the protein in tumor-bearing tissues was extracted to detect the expression of target protein, while the control group was injected with equal dose of 0.9% NaCl solution.Results:The expressions of FRα protein in BGC823 and AGS cells were up-regulated in a dose-dependent way after gradient concentrations of DATS treatment ( F = 65.68, P < 0.01; F = 26.65, P < 0.01). After changing the cell culture medium without DATS, the expressions of FRα protein in BGC823 and AGS cells gradually decreased and returned to the initial levels ( F = 74.57, P < 0.01; F = 30.92, P < 0.01). With the increase of DATS concentration, the apoptosis rates of BGC823 and AGS cells increased ( F = 32.95, P < 0.01; F = 38.97, P < 0.01). After TSA treatment, FRα protein expressions in BGC823 and AGS cells were up-regulated by 4.5 times ( t = -12.62, P < 0.01) and 3.6 times ( t = -10.00, P < 0.01). After 40 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L DATS treatment, the expression level of FRα protein in BGC823 and AGS cells was up-regulated (both P < 0.01), the expressions of HDAC1 and HDAC2 were inhibited (all P < 0.01), and the levels of H3K9ac and H4K5ac acetylation modification increased (all P < 0.01). The results of tumor-bearing nude mice experiment showed that the volume of transplanted tumor in DATS group was smaller than that in the control group [(214±39) mm 3 vs. (577±98) mm 3], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.86, P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, FRα protein expression in the transplanted tumor tissues of DATS group was up-regulated about 2 times ( t = -5.29, P < 0.01), and the expression levels of HDAC1 and HDAC2 proteins were down-regulated ( t = 9.36, P < 0.01; t = 9.88, P < 0.01). Conclusions:DATS up-regulates the expression of FRα protein in human gastric cancer BGC823 and AGS cells in a dose-dependent and reversible manner. The mechanism may be related to the effect of DATS on histone acetylation modification in tumor cells.

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the proliferation and inflammatory phenotypes of human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) induced by tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). Methods The rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-FLS were cultured in vitro, then treated with different concentrations of diallyl trisulfide (DATS). The proliferation activity was detected by CCK-8 method. Then TNF-α was used to stimulate the RA-FLS, mRNA and protein expression of interleukin (IL)-6, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Differences among groups were determined by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), LSD-t test was used for comparison between 2 groups. Results RA-FLS was successfully is-olated and cultured in vitro. The positive rate of CD90 and CD29 in the RA-FLS was more than 90%. The proli-feration activity of RA-FLS treated with 100 μmoL/L, 200 μmol/L and 300 μmol/L DATS was (98.92 ± 0.40)%, (95.91±0.32)%, (94.05±0.24)%, respectively. As Compared with the normal control group, the pro-liferation activity of RA-FLS was lower, and the statistically significant difference is between normal control group 200 μmol/L and 300 μmol/L DATS (t=-4.46, P<0.05; t=-7.98, P<0.05). After TNF-α stimulation, the expression of IL-6's mRNA in experiment group (100μmol/L DATS) is higher compared with the model control group (t=5.74, P<0.05), but the change of IL-6's protein is no significant difference (t=-0.49, P=0.627). The differences of mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-1 and VEGF between the experiment group (100μmol/L DATS) and the model control group were not statistically significant. The relative mRNA level [(0.42 ± 0.06), t=-23.47, P<0.05;(0.14±0.039), t=-36.59, P<0.05;(0.36±0.09), t=-13.1, P<0.05)] and the protein levels [(108.0±4.7) ng/L, t=-63.79, P<0.05, (26.0±1.0) ng/L, t=-9.68, P<0.05;(57.9±0.7), t=-34.59, P<0.05] of IL-6, MMP-1, VEGF in experiment group (200μmol/L DATS) were significantly decreased. And the relative mRNA level [(0.041 ±0.027), t=-38.48, P<0.05; (0.027 ±0.027), t=-41.22, P<0.05; (0.131 ±0.047), t=-17.74, P<0.05] and the protein levels [(24.2 ±2.3) ng/L , t=-88.69, P<0.05; (22.7 ±1.0) ng/L , t=-14.13, P<0.05; (34.5 ±1.7), t=-48.45, P<0.05] of IL-6, MMP-1, VEGF in the experiment group (300 μmol/L DATS) were also significantly decreased. The difference between the two groups was significant (t=-24.89, P<0.05; t=-4.45, P<0.05; t=-13.87, P<0.05). Conclusion DATS can inhibit the proliferation and the effect of TNF-αinduced secretion of IL-6, MMP-1 and VEGF in RA-FLS. The effect is dose-dependent.

ABSTRACT

Objective To prepare diallyl trisulfide microemulsion (DATS-MEs) and evaluate its effect on the proliferation and migration of tumor cells. Methods Using HS15 as emulsifier, PEG400 as co-emulsifier and DATS as the oil phase, water titration method was used to prepare DATS-MEs. The influence of DATS-MEs on the proliferation of mouse Lewis cancer LLC cells and mouse melanoma B16BL6 cells in vitro was evaluated by the tetramethyl azoline blue (MTT) methed; Wound healing assay was used to evaluate the effect of DATS-MEs on the migration of LLC and B16BL6 cells in vitro. Results The DATS-MEs obtained was stable, clear, transparent, and well dispersed. The particle size of DATS-MEs was (16.72 ± 0.22) nm, the polydispersity index was 0.03 ± 0.01 and the Zeta potential was (-4.98 ± 0.11) mV. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of DATS in microemulsion was 82.89%, the drug loading (DL) was 6.28%. The solubility in water increased by about 2 367 fold compared with the free DATS. DATS-MEs and free DATS at concentration of 10, 30, and 50 μmol/L all can effectively inhibit the migration and proliferation of LLC cells and B16BL6 cells in a dose-dependent manner. DATS microemulsion was proved to be more effective than free DATS. Conclusion After assembly into DATS microemulsion, the stability and solubility in water of DATS was enhanced. The anti-proliferation and anti-migration on mouse Lewis LLC cells and mouse melanoma B16BL6 cells were significantly enhanced.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Diallyl trisulfide (DATS), a garlic-derived organosulfuric compound, has been documented for potential anti-inflammatory effects. However, the mechanism in microglia remains unknown. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of DATS in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV2 microglial cells. METHODS: The effects of DATS on LPS-induced pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were assessed under conditions not in the cytotoxicity of DATS. The protein expression of inflammation regulatory genes was measured by Western blot analysis. RESULTS: DATS significantly inhibited the LPS-induced secretion of NO and PGE2, which was associated with the suppression of their regulatory genes, inducible NO synthase and COX-2. DATS had been shown to inhibit nuclear translocation of NF-κB by destroying the degradation and phosphorylation of IκB-α inhibitors in the cytoplasm. In addition, DATS effectively inhibited the expression of LPS-induced toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and myeloid differentiation factor 88. Furthermore, DATS markedly reduced the LPS-induced expression of chemokine (CXC motif) ligand (CXCL) 12 and CXC receptor (CXCR) 4, demonstrating its capacity to block chemo-attractive activity. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that DATS inhibits the activation of the CXCL12/CXCR4 axis associated with antagonizing effect on TLR4 and blocks NF-κB signaling, thus demonstrating anti-inflammatory effects against LPS stimulation.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the effects of DATS (diallyl trisulfide) on cell proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cell line Saos-2, and to explore their potential molecular mechanisms. Methods: Saos-2 cells were treated with 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L DATS for 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. The change of cell morphology was observed under an inverted microscope. The effect of DATS on the proliferation of Saos-2 cells was detected by MTT assay. After treatment with DATS at desired concentrations for various time intervals, the cell cycle and apoptotic rate of Saos-2 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. The expressions of DATS-sensitive proteins in Saos-2 cells were systematically detected using 2-DE (two-dimensional gel electrophoresis) and mass spectrometry analysis. Results: DATS could inhibit the proliferation of Saos-2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Moreover, DATS could arrest the cell cycle at phase G0/G1 and induce the apoptosis in a time- and concentrationdependent manner. A total of 27 unique DATS-sensitive proteins, including 18 downregulated proteins and 9 upregulated proteins, were found in Saos-2 cells. Conclusion: DATS can suppress the proliferation of Saos-2 cells by blocking cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis. The results of proteomics not only suggest the anticarcinogenic mechanism of DATS, but also provide a novel insight into the therapeutic targets for gene therapy of osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT

Health benefits of garlic and other Allium vegetables (e.g., onions), such as lipid lowering and anticancer effects, are credited to metabolic byproducts, including diallyl trisulfide (DATS). Evidence for anticancer effects of garlic derives from both population-based case-control studies, and clinical and laboratory investigations using purified garlic constituents such as DATS. Studies have shown that DATS can offer protection against chemically-induced neoplasia as well as oncogene-driven spontaneous cancer development in experimental rodents. Mechanisms underlying cancer chemopreventive effects of DATS are not completely understood, but known pharmacological responses to this natural product include alteration in carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptotic cell death, suppression of oncogenic signal transduction pathways, and inhibition of neoangiogenesis. This article reviews mechanisms and targets of cancer chemoprevention by DATS.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate whether DATS induce MGC803 cell apoptosis and the relationship betweenapoptosis and Ca~(2+) disruption. Methods MGC-803 cell growth inhibition was measured by MTT assay. Tunnel and flow cytometry methods were used to determine the induction of apoptosis and Ca2+ homeostasis disruption. Result MTT assay showed that the inhibitory rates on MGC-803 cell growth of different concentrations of DATS 4,8,12,16 and 24 mg?L-1 were 0.231?0.037,0.305?0.036,0.455?0.029,0.607?0.058,0.751?0.019 respectively. Flow cytometry analysis showed that treating MGC803 cell with DATS significantly increased the percentage of apoptosis cells and intracellular Ca2+. Treatment of cells with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxye-thane)-N,N,N-tetraacetic acid tetrakis acetoxymethyl ester (BAPTA-AM), cellular Ca2+ chelator, resulted in abolishment of the elevation of intracellular Ca~(2+) and blockage of DATS induced apoptotic of MGC-803. Conclusoin DATS could induce apoptosis of MGC-803 cells through the mechanism of Ca~(2+) homeostasis disruption.
