Ref

15-LOX

13(S)-HODE

doxorubicin-resistant/ sensitive breast cell line

• 15-LOX-1 was down-regulated in doxorubicin-resistant cells vs sensitive cells.

• level of 13(S)-HODE showed to be lower in doxorubicin-resistant cells.

• 15-LOX-1 over-expression enhanced drug accumulation, cell motility, subG1 arrest and apoptosis induction, caspase 3/7 increased activity in doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7 cells.

• exogenous 13(S)-HODE was enough to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in doxorubicin-resistant MCF-7 through activation of PPAR-γ.

Trichostatin A

13(S)-HODE

15-LOX-1

PD146176

MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231

• Trichostatin A (TSA) induced cell death, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and 13(S)-HODE elevation

• 15-LOX-1 suppression diminished the pro-apoptotic effect of TSA in the breast cancer cells

• 13(S)-HODE synergized with TSA to inhibit breast cancer cell growth and apoptosis

Sodium butyrate (SB)

MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231

• The activity of 15-LOX-1 and production of 13(S)-HODE level and15-LOX-1 transcript was stimulated by SB.

• Inhibition of 15-LOX-1 eliminated the apoptosis induced by SB in the cells.

• 13(S)-HODE synergized with SB to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells.
