Bioactivity | Enterolactone is a bioactive phenolic metabolite known as a mammalian lignan derived from dietary lignans. Enterolactone has estrogenic properties and anti-breast cancer activity[1]. Enterolactone is a radiosensitizer for human breast cancer cell lines through impaired DNA repair and increased apoptosis[2]. | |||||||||
Invitro | Enterolactone (25-75 μM; 48 hours) arrests the growth of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells in the ‘S’ phase[1]Enterolactone (25-75 μM; 15 hours) triggers apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells via caspase-3 activation[1].Enterolactone inhibits TGF-β-induced migration of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Enterolactone inhibits TGF-β-induced invasion of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells through ECM. Enterolactone inhibits the TGF-β-induced EMT program in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Enterolactone reduces the formation of actin stress fibers by inhibiting the expression of CD44 and MAPK-p38. Enterolactone inhibits the ERK/NF-κB/Snail signaling pathway to revert TGF-β-induced EMT in MDA-MB-231 cells[1]. Cell Viability Assay[1] Cell Line: | |||||||||
