Yanghe Decoction (YHD) has been used in the treatment of breast cancer for many years. We aimed to explore the effects of YHD on the malignant phenotypes of MDA-MB-231 cells and the potential mechanism related to PPARγ, autophagy and ferroptosis. The serum of rat containing different concentrations of YHD were collected to culture MDA-MB-231 cells. Cell viability and proliferation were assessed by the CCK-8 assay and EDU staining. Wound healing- and transwell assays were used to detect the capacities of MDA-MB-231 cell migration and invasion. Additionally, the levels of lipid peroxidation, Fe<sup>2+</sup> and the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins were evaluated. The expression of PPARγ and autophagy-related proteins was assessed using immunofluorescence staining or western blot assay. Then, the PPARγ inhibitor (GW9662), autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) and autophagy inducer (rapamycin; Rap) were used to further study the potential mechanism of YHD on TNBC. Results indicated that contained-YHD serum significantly decreased the viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of TNBC cells. Moreover, YHD promoted lipid peroxidation level, elevated Fe<sup>2+</sup> content and downregulated GPX4, SLC7A11 and SLC3A2 expression. Besides, autophagy was induced and PPARγ was upregulated by YHD in MDA-MB-231 cells. Furthermore, GW9662 alleviated the impacts of YHD on autophagy of MDA-MB-231 cells. Rap reversed the effects of GW9662 on lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis, proliferation, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. 3-MA had the similar effects to GW9662. Collectively, YHD suppressed the malignant progression of MDA-MB-231 cells by inducing ferroptosis through PPARγ-dependent autophagy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21161,"journal":{"name":"Prostaglandins & other lipid mediators","volume":"175 ","pages":"Article 106909"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142294158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, bornyl acetate (BA) and menthol (ME), the natural monoterpenes were investigated for their neuroprotective effects against 7KCh-induced SH-SY5Y cells and their effects were compared to the standard drug galantamine (GA). 7KCh-induced changes like lipid accumulation, amyloid generation, free radical generation, acetylcholinesterase levels, calcium accumulation and mitochondrial membrane integrity were analysed in SH-SY5Y cells with or without BA and ME treatment. Furthermore, various mediators involved in the amyloidogenic, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways were studied. In our results, the cells induced with 7KCh upon co-treatment with BA and ME significantly reduced lipid accumulation and amyloid generation through toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 suppression and enhanced ATP binding cassette (ABCA) 1-mediated clearance. Co-treatment with BA and ME concurrently regulated oxidative stress, acetylcholinesterase activity, mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular calcification altered by 7KCh-induced SH-SY5Y cells. Moreover, 7KCh-induced cells showed elevated mRNA levels of misfolded protein markers and apoptotic mediators which were significantly downregulated by BA and ME co-treatment. In addition, the protein expression of amyloidogenic, proinflammatory as well as pro-apoptotic markers was decreased by BA and ME co-treatment in 7KCh-induced cells.
