Literature evidence More interestingly, SIN was demonstrated to decrease hIL-8 mRNA expression in cultured MDA-MB-231 cells and to inhibit hIL-8 protein expression in MDA-MB-231 cells cocultured with preosteoclastic RAW264.7 cells while simultaneously downregulating CXCR1, the ligand of IL-8 related to bone destruction, during MDA-MB-231 CM-induced osteoclastogenesis.

Gene or Protein evidence The MDA-MB-231 CM-induced osteoclast-related genes TRAP and OSCAR were obviously downregulated by SIN. In addition, mRNA expression of c-Fos and NFATc1 and nuclear translocation of c-Fos and NFATc1 protein were inhibited by SIN during MDA-MB-231 CM-induced osteoclastogenesis, while NF-kB signaling was not impacted by SIN. More interestingly, SIN was demonstrated to decrease hIL-8 mRNA expression in cultured MDA-MB-231 cells and to inhibit hIL-8 protein expression in MDA-MB-231 cells cocultured with preosteoclastic RAW264.7 cells while simultaneously downregulating CXCR1, the ligand of IL-8 related to bone destruction, during MDA-MB-231 CM-induced osteoclastogenesis. Our current findings may extend the utilization of SIN to preventing osteoclastogenesis and bone destruction in breast cancer patients and may enable IL-8/CXCR1 to serve as new targets for both anticancer and antiarthritic drug discovery. Western blot assay results showed that the upregulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by hypoxia was inversed by sinomenine.
Target pathways IL-8/CXCR1 and c-Fos/NFATc1 signaling PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway

Potency Sinomenine inhibits hypoxia induced breast cancer side population cells metastasis by PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
