Abstract

Purpose

Elevated expression of PAI-1 has been widely linked with adverse outcomes in a variety of human cancers, such as breast, gastric and ovarian cancers, rendering PAI-1 a prognostic biomarker. As a result, several chemical inhibitors are currently being developed against PAI-1; however, the clinical setting where they might confer survival benefits has not yet been elucidated.

Methods

RNA sequencing data analysis from the TCGA/GTEx cancer portals (n = 3607 samples). In silico molecular docking analyses to predict functional macromolecule interactions. ER-/PR- (MDA-MB-231) and ER+/PR+ (MCF-7) breast cancer cell lines implemented to assess the effect of oleuropein as a natural inhibitor of PAI-1-mediated oncogenic proliferation.

Results

We show that high PAI-1 levels inversely correlate with ER and PR expressions in a wide panel of estrogen/progesterone-responsive human malignancies. By implementing an in silico molecular docking analysis, we identify oleuropein, a phenolic component of olive oil, as a potent PAI-1-binding molecule displaying increased affinity compared to the other olive oil constituents. We demonstrate that EVOO or oleuropein treatment alone may act as a natural PAI-1 inhibitor by incrementally destabilising PAI-1 levels selectively in ER-/PR- breast cancer cells, accompanied by downstream caspase activation and cell growth inhibition. In contrast, ER+/PR+ breast cancer cells, where PAI-1 expression is absent or low, do not adequately respond to treatment.

Conclusions

Our study demonstrates an inverse correlation between PAI-1 and ESR1/PGR levels, as well as overall patient survival in estrogen/progesterone-responsive human tumours. With a focus on breast cancer, our data identify oleuropein as a natural PAI-1 inhibitor and suggest that oleuropein-mediated PAI-1 destabilisation may confer clinical benefit only in ER-/PR- tumours.

Neu im Fachgebiet Onkologie

Kopf-Hals-Tumoren: Die Immuntherapie ist kein Selbstläufer

Ergebnisse einer weiteren Studie legen nahe: Mit einer adjuvanten Immuncheckpointhemmung ist lokal fortgeschrittenen Plattenepithelkarzinomen des Kopf-Hals-Bereichs nur schwer beizukommen. Einige Fachleute geben die Hoffnung jedoch nicht auf und diskutieren mögliche Gründe für die negativen Ergebnisse.

Dänische Zwillingsstudie deutet auf erhöhtes Krebsrisiko bei Tätowierten hin

Haben Tattoo-Träger und -Trägerinnen ein erhöhtes Risiko, an Hautkrebs oder einem Lymphom zu erkranken? Die Ergebnisse einer Zwillingsstudie aus Dänemark scheinen dafür zu sprechen. Die Forschungsgruppe rät vorerst zur Zurückhaltung beim Tätowieren.

Weniger PSA-Screening, mehr fortgeschrittene Tumoren

Eine Empfehlung gegen das Prostatakrebs-Screening, die mehrere Jahre in den Leitlinien des Royal Australasian College of General Practitioners gegeben wurde, hat sich nicht nur auf die Rate von PSA-Tests negativ ausgewirkt.

Schützt kutane Autoimmunität vor Hauttumoren?

Schwedische Registerdaten deuten auf ein geringeres Risiko für bestimmte Hauttumoren bei Personen mit Vitiligo oder autoimmuner Alopezie. Wie es dazu kommt, ist dagegen unklar.
