Gene or Protein evidence In addition, treatment with JB was able to induce downregulation of cyclinD1, cyclinE, mTOR, p-PI3K and p-Akt, and upregulation of PTEN and p-eIF4E. Collectively, JB-induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells occurs through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. In the present study, the anti-adhesion and anti-invasion effects of jolkinolide B, a diterpenoid compound from Euphorbia fischeriana Steud, that were exerted through suppression of β1-integrin expression and phosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were examined in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Jolkinolide B inhibited the adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells to fibronectin but not to poly-L-lysine. In addition, jolkinolide B inhibited extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation. U0126, an ERK inhibitor, also suppressed the invasion and adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells.
Target pathways PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway FAK-mediated signaling pathways
IC50 NA
Potency The growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited and arrested in the S phase by JB. The data showed significantly decreased tumor volume and weight in nude mice inoculated with MCF-7 cells.
Cell line/ mice model Female Balb/c nude mice, MCF-7, BT-474, MDA-MB-231
Additional information  Collectively, JB-induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells occurs through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Furthermore, the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade plays a role in the induction of apoptosis in JB-treated cells. Jolkinolide B regulates the luminal A and luminal B subtypes of breast cancer through PI3K-Akt, EGFR and other pathways. Jolkinolide B has more significant therapeutic effect on luminal B subtype breast cancer. In vitro, experiments verified that Jolkinolide B significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration activity of BT-474 breast cancer cells by downregulating the PI3K-Akt pathway.
