Target gene or protein Procaspase 3, Procaspase 10, Bcl-xL, Beclin-1, LC3B
Gene or Protein evidence Moreover, TSN (20 nM) and ITSN (2.5 μM) induced the cleavage of pro-caspase-3 and pro-caspase-9, and decreased the expression of anti-apoptotic Bcl-xL in both MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells. Results from scanning electron microscope observation and detecting the expression of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B) and Beclin 1 evidenced that TSN (20 nM) and ITSN (2.5 μM) induced autophagy in both MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 cells.
Target pathways NA
IC50 NA
Potency Collectively, this study shows that natural compound TSN and ITSN suppress TNBC growth via inducing necrosis, apoptosis and autophagy. TSN and ITSN could be promising drugs for TNBC treatment.
