Gene or Protein evidence The AMP blocked cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Furthermore, AMP increased p21(CIP1) expression but decreased cyclin A and CDK2 expression after AMP exposure. Notably, ampelopsin treatment significantly reduced the levels of the phosphorylated forms of IκBα and NF-κB p65, as well as the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-stimulated phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB p65. Importantly, ampelopsin displayed an inhibitory impact on the stemness features of MDA-MB-231/IR cells, demonstrated by decreases in mammosphere formation, the CD44+/CD24-/low population, aldehyde dehydrogenase activity, and the levels of stem cell markers (e.g., CD44, MRP1, β-catenin, and KLF4).
Target pathways TNF-α/NF-κB signaling axis, Mitochondrial Apoptosis Pathway, ROS generation and endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway.
IC50 58 ± 3.84 µM against MDA-MB-231
Potency The cell viability was reduced in a time- and dose-dependent manner after exposure to AMP atarangeof 20-100 μmol/L. For the treatment of AMP, increases of apoptotic index and rate were observed in MG-63 cells.
Cell line/ mice model MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-231/IR
Additional information  Our previous study has shown that ampelopsin (AMP), a flavonol mainly found in Ampelopsis grossedentata, could induce cell death in human breast cancer cells via reactive oxygen species generation and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway.
