Abstract
AbstractEight Novel chalcones were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by different spectral tools. All the prepared compounds were subjected to SRB cytotoxic screening against several cancer cell lines. Compound 5c exerted the most promising effect against MCF7 and HEP2 cells with IC50 values of 9.5 and 12 µg/mL, respectively. Real-time PCR demonstrated the inhibitory effect of compound 5c on the expression level of Antigen kiel 67 (KI-67), Survivin, Interleukin-1beta (IL-1B), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and Protein kinase B (AKT1) genes. Flow-cytometric analysis of the cell cycle indicated that compound 5c stopped the cell cycle at the G0/G1 and G2/M phases in MCF7 and HEP2 treated cells, respectively. ELISA assay showed that Caspase 8, Caspase 9, P53, BAX, and Glutathione (GSH) were extremely activated and Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), BCL2, Malondialdehyde (MDA), and IL-6 were deactivated in 5c treated MCF7 and HEP2 cells. Wound healing revealed that chalcone 5c reduced the ability to close the scrape wound and decreased the number of migrating MCF7 and HEP2 cells compared to the untreated cells after 48 h. Theoretical molecular modeling against P53 cancer mutant Y220C and Bcl2 showed binding energies of -22.8 and -24.2 Kcal/mole, respectively, which confirmed our ELISA results.
