Abstract
Purpose: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is shown to possess multiple pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-cancer activities. It is widely accepted as modulator of multiple signaling pathways particularly those related to cell cycle, cell growth and division, angiogenesis, apoptosis and immunity. We explored the metabolic reprogramming based on treatment with I3C in mice prostate tissue.
Methods: In this study we utilized Pten knockout (KO)-induced prostate tumorigenesis mouse model to examine mechanism of action of I3C via metabolic rewiring. Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (Pten), a tumor suppressor gene is frequently found to be mutated or deleted in prostate cancer. Untargeted metabolomics was performed using liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry (LC-MS) based platform to investigate Pten-dependent and Pten-independent metabolic targets of I3C.
Results: The most impacted pathways by I3C included pyrimidine metabolism, arginine and proline metabolism, porphyrin metabolism, citrate cycle and lipoic acid metabolism.
Conclusion: These pathways taken together help in understanding the overall health beneficial effects of I3C.
期刊介绍:
Pharmaceutical Research, an official journal of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, is committed to publishing novel research that is mechanism-based, hypothesis-driven and addresses significant issues in drug discovery, development and regulation. Current areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
-(pre)formulation engineering and processing-
computational biopharmaceutics-
drug delivery and targeting-
molecular biopharmaceutics and drug disposition (including cellular and molecular pharmacology)-
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics.
Research may involve nonclinical and clinical studies, and utilize both in vitro and in vivo approaches. Studies on small drug molecules, pharmaceutical solid materials (including biomaterials, polymers and nanoparticles) biotechnology products (including genes, peptides, proteins and vaccines), and genetically engineered cells are welcome.
