Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an active ingredient of propolis extract and has been shown to have a variety of beneficial effects, and its potential as a treatment for breast cancer is worth exploring. The effects of CAPE on doxorubicin (DOX) resistance were determined by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony-formation assay, and flow cytometry. Oil Red O staining and the detection of free fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol were performed to assess the status of lipid metabolism. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blotting were applied to investigate the molecules involved in lipid metabolism and the protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) pathway. CAPE treatment reversed DOX resistance in breast cancer cells and suppressed their lipid metabolism. In addition, CAPE combined with DOX remarkably suppressed SREBP1 expression in part by inhibiting Akt/mTOR pathway activation. Furthermore, by inhibiting lipid metabolism, partly via the Akt/mTOR/SREBP1 pathway, CAPE ultimately reversed DOX resistance in breast cancer. Our results suggest that CAPE treatment reversed DOX resistance in breast cancer cells, at least in part by inhibiting Akt/mTOR/SREBP1 pathway-mediated lipid metabolism, indicating that CAPE may be an effective substance to assist in the treatment of breast cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":49946,"journal":{"name":"Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9977034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we aimed to analyze the Delta variant. A total of 318 patients in Taiwan infected with delta variants were identified. The case fatality rate (CFR) of patients infected with delta variants was 0.94% in Taiwan compared with that of those infected with alpha variants (5.95%). The possible reasons for the low CFR might be hybrid immunity due to infection and rapid promotion of the COVID‐19 vaccination program during the alpha variant outbreak. We identified three 21J delta variants. Two long gene deletions were detected in these severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) isolates: ORF7aΔ91 in KMUH‐8 and SpikeΔ30 in KMUH‐9. Protein structure prediction indicates that ORF7aΔ91 results in malfunction of NS7a as an interferon antagonist and that SpikeΔ30 results in a truncated spike protein (N679–A688del), resulting in a lower infection rate compared with the delta variant without these deletions. The impact of these two deletions on SARS‐CoV‐2‐associated pathogenesis deserves further investigation. Delta variants still exist in many regions in the omicron era, and the backbone of the delta variant genome possibly spread worldwide in the form of delta‐omicron hybrids (deltacron; e.g., XBC.1 and XAY.2), which casts a potential threat to public health.
