ABSTRACT
SCOPE: Some polyphenol-derived metabolites reach human breast cancer (BC) tissues at concentrations that induce cell senescence. However, this is unknown for isoflavones, curcuminoids, and lignans. Here, their metabolic profiling in normal (NT) and malignant (MT) mammary tissues of newly-diagnosed BC patients and the tissue-occurring metabolites' anticancer activity are evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients (n = 26) consumed 3 capsules/day (turmeric, red clover, and flaxseed extracts plus resveratrol; 296.4 mg phenolics/capsule) from biopsy-confirmed diagnosis to surgery (5 ± 2 days) or did not consume capsules (n = 13). NT and MT, blood, and urine are analyzed by UPLC-QTOF-MS using targeted metabolomics. Anticancer activity was tested in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 BC cells. Mainly phase-II metabolites were detected (108, 84, 49, and 47 in urine, plasma, NT, and MT, respectively). Total metabolite concentrations reached 10.7 ± 11.1 and 2.5 ± 2.4 µmol L-1 in NT and MT, respectively. Free curcumin, but not its glucuronide, was detected in the tissues (1.1 ± 1.8 and 0.2 ± 0.2 µmol L-1 in NT and MT, respectively). Breast tissue-occurring metabolites' antiproliferation was mainly exerted in p53-wild-type MCF-7 cells by curcuminoids through cell cycle arrest, senescence, and apoptosis induction via p53/p21 induction, while isoflavone-derived metabolites exerted estrogenic-like activity. CONCLUSION: Curcuminoids could be coadjuvants that might help fight BC upon regular consumption.

El pólipo fibroepitelial estromal es una entidad benigna, cuya peculiaridad más importante es la variedad de hallazgos histopatológicos que puede presentar, y que todavía frecuentemente se diagnostica erróneamente como maligno, a pesar de que es una entidad bastante bien estudiada en la literatura. Hemos recogido nuestra casuística en los últimos 5 años y revisado la literatura (AU)
