Abstract 4124: Sub-cytotoxic concentrations of a novel polyphenol fatty acid ester derivative arrest breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract In this study, the antiproliferative and antimetastatic properties of phloridzin docosahexaenoate (PZ-DHA), a novel polyphenol fatty acid ester derivative, were explored using in vitro and in vivo models of mammary carcinoma. PZ-DHA combines phloridzin (PZ, a dihydrochalcone found in apple peels) with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid). The regioselective acylation reaction was catalyzed by lipase B enzyme from Candida antarctica. PZ-DHA-induced selective cytotoxicity towards breast cancer cells (triple-negative mammary carcinoma cells, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, and 4T1; estrogen receptor-positive mammary carcinoma cells, MCF-7 and T-47D) was observed compared to human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs and MCF 10A) using the MTS assay. Significantly less (p<0.05) cytotoxicity of PZ-DHA for normal cells was also confirmed using flow cytometric analysis of annexin-V-FLUOS/propidium iodide-stained MCF 10A and human dermal fibroblasts compared to MDA-MB-231 cells. Flow cytometric analysis of Oregon Green 488-stained MDA-MB-231 cells showed an antiproliferative effect of PZ-DHA at sub-cytotoxic concentrations (10 to 30 μM). Cell cycle analysis showed that MDA-MB-231 replication was arrested at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle following treatment with PZ-DHA at sub-cytotoxic concentrations. PZ-DHA suppressed the migration of MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells in vitro in wound healing and cell migration assays. Reduced expression of proteins (β-catenin, slug, Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1, vimentin and matrix metalloproteinase-2) involved in the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition was demonstrated by western blot analysis of PZ-DHA-treated MDA-MB-231 cell lysates. Finally, 4T1 tumor bearing-female BALB/c mice that received intra-peritoneal injections of PZ-DHA showed a significant reduction (p<0.05, n = 9) in primary tumor volume at the mammary fat pad and fewer metastatic lesions in the lungs compared to the saline-treated control mice, suggesting an in vivo antimetastatic effect of PZ-DHA. In conclusion, findings of this study reveal that PZ-DHA suppresses mammary carcinoma cell proliferation and metastasis, suggesting a potential clinical application to prevent breast cancer progression in patients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
