Abstract

See full text

Protein kinase C plays important roles in TNBC development and could be a specific target. The in vitro anti-proliferative activity of PKC inhibitor chelerythrine on a panel of breast cancer cell lines was evaluated. Chelerythrine selectively inhibited the growth of TNBC cell lines over non-TNBC cell lines as demonstrated by cell proliferation assay and colony formation assay. The selective anti-proliferative effect of chelerythrine was associated with the differential apoptosis induction ability on breast cancer cell lines and induction of cell cycle arrest in some TNBC cell lines. By analysis of the expression levels of different PKC subtypes, the inventors found multiple PKC isozymes may mediate the selective activity of chelerythrine on TNBC cells. Finally, combination of chelerythrine and chemotherapy reagent taxol showed synergistic/additive effect on TNBC cell lines.
