A further attempt to deepen the mechanism of action in triple negative breast cancer showed that 12.5–100 μM OLE affected MDA-MB-231 cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, reducing cellular migration and invasion capabilities, especially at doses ≥ 25 μM. OLE was able to induce dose-dependent apoptosis after 72 h incubation.

In a breast cancer cell line identified by the authors only by the letters “MDA”, 200 μg/mL OLE was able to interfere with the metastatic process, causing a time-dependent increase in mRNA levels of MMP inhibitors TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) and TIMP3, while TIMP4 showed no further increase after 48 h incubation.

However, at sub-lethal concentration (200 μM), HT had an impact on both (I) oxidative stress response, augmenting mRNA and protein levels of transcription factor nuclear respiratory factor 2 (Nrf2) and upregulating the transcription of its targets glutathione S-transferase alpha 2 (GSTA2) and heme oxigenase-1 (HO-1), and (II) energy homeostasis, reducing mRNA level of mitochondria biogenesis regulator PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), while increasing its protein level and downregulating expression (in terms of mRNA) of mitochondrial function regulators estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) and deacetylase sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) .

The reduction in triple negative breast cell viability may depend on HT acting as a copper chelator, thus perturbating copper homeostasis, as demonstrated in MDA-MB-231 cells by 100 μM HT-mediated increase in the copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS) after 48 h, and reduction in the subunit II of the complex IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) after 72 h.

A more detailed analysis revealed that treatment of HT-29 cells with 400 μM HT for 24 h produced S and G2/M phase cell cycle arrest and induced apoptosis, flanked by apoptosis ruling events: loss of mitochondrial potential, decrease in anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein level, reduction in phosphorylation of Bad, increase in pro-apoptotic Bax and Bak, cytochrome c release, and activation of caspase-3 .

A similar S phase cell cycle arrest was also observed for 800 μM HT, and induction of apoptosis also took place after 24 h incubation of HT-29 cells with 600 μM and 800 μM HT .

A 16 h incubation with 400 μM HT triggered endoplasmic reticulum stress in HT-29 cells, with activation of unfolded protein response, as indicated by the increase in the spliced form of X-box binding protein 1 (XBP-1) mRNA, the upregulation of chaperone 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein (GRP78/Bip) at both mRNA and protein levels, the transient increase (after 2 h) in phosphorylation of PKR-like ER-associated kinase (PERK) and translation initiation factor-2 (eIF2a) (accounting for inhibition of protein synthesis), and time-dependent increase in CHOP protein levels (responsible for ROS production and Bcl-2 downregulation) and NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4) .

In the same cellular model, apoptosis seemed regulated by HT-mediated increase in the phosphorylated form of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), which is a central player in establishing cell faith (apoptosis vs. proliferation) .

Accordingly, the phosphorylated form of JNK target, c-jun, was also increased in HT-29 cells as a response to treatment with HT.
[ { "end": 86, "label": "CellLine", "start": 81, "text": "HT-29" } ]
PMC10968586
Both JNK and c-jun phosphorylations seem to reach a peak after 30 min and 4 h of incubation.

In addition, 400 μM HT induced activator protein 1 (AP-1) transcriptional activity (responsible for the expression of cell cycle regulator genes) , promoted a dynamic phosphorylation of ERK1/2 (with two peaks of phosphorylation—after 30 min and 2 h of incubation—both followed by a reduction in phospho-ERK1/2 levels), and abolished Akt phosphorylation.

All HT-dependent effects producing apoptosis as a result seemed to be mediated by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) .
[]
PMC10968586
Moreover, 400 μM HT reduced HIF-1α protein levels and augmented the protein levels of proliferation and inflammation modulator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) after 48 h incubation; 400 μM HT also elicited an increase in p53 levels starting after 16 h and lasting for 48 h .
[]
PMC10968586
Similarly, 800 μM HT had analogous effects on HIF-1α and PPARγ protein expression starting after 24 h of incubation, but did not change p53 levels .

Finally, treatment of HT-29 cells with 200 μM HT caused mobilization of endoplasmic reticulum Ca depots, but the contribution of this ionic species to HT-induced apoptosis/effects was not explained .

In SW620 cells, HT reduced cell viability at all tested concentrations (10–100 μM), with a mechanism related to a decrease in FASN transcription and activity after 72 h exposure.

A detailed analysis of the cell cycle revealed that 10–50 μM HT produced S phase cell cycle arrest, with apoptosis induction when HT was used at a concentration of 100 μM .

Treatment of HCT116 cell line with 100–300 μM HT and LoVo cell line with 100–400 HT μM for 72 h led to a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability, with IC50 calculated as 92.83 μM and 140.8 μM for HCT116 and LoVo cells, respectively.

Cell cycle analysis revealed that 72 h incubation of HCT116 and LoVo cells with 0.0154 mg/mL (≈100 μM) HT and 0.0231 mg/mL (≈150 μM) HT, respectively, caused G2/M cell cycle arrest and promoted apoptosis .

As regards the role of ROS in high-dose HT-mediated effects, a report documented a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability of SW480 (mean IC50 ± S.D. = 82 ± 10) and HCT116 (mean IC50 ± S.D. = 55 ± 7) cells treated with 50–100 μM for 72 h, in conditions favoring the accumulation of extracellular H2O2 .
