In vitro ve in silico analizi ile metforminin meme tümörü hücrelerinde protein profili üzerindeki etkinliği

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to uncover the varieties in protein profiles of Met in breast tumor (BT) cells by assessment of in vitro and in silico analysis. Materials and Methods: Here, the cells obtained from mastectomy patients were cultured, the effective Met-dose was determined as 25 mM through cell viability and BrdU tests. Protein identification in the breast tumor cells was implemented by employing LC-MS/MS technology. Results: The expression of SSR3, THAP3, FTH1, NEFM, ANP32A, ANP32B, KRT7 proteins was significantly decreased whereas the GARS protein increased in the 25 mM Met group compared to the Non-Met (0 mM) control group. In silico analysis, we analyzed the probable interactions of all these proteins with each other and other proteins, to evaluate the analysis of the larger protein network, and which metabolic pathway proteins are involved in. Conclusion: The stated proteomics analysis in our study proposes a better understanding of the prognosis of breast cancer and future studies to investigate the effect of metformin in this field on proteomic pathways in other sorts of cancer.
