Popis: | Carpesium abrotanoides L. (CA) is widely used as a medicinal plant in Asia. The biological activities of the extract from the roots of Carpesium abrotanoides L. (PCA) and its major components were analyzed in this study. PCA was separated and identified with mass spectrometry. Furthermore, we sought to elucidate the anticancer activity of PCA and its mechanisms. PCA exerted its anti-breast cancer activity through inhibiting the expression of glycolysis-related genes, such as glucose transporter 1, lactate dehydrogenase A, and hexokinase 2. Moreover, PCA downregulated the expression of pyruvate kinase M2 and altered its cellular translocation. We also demonstrated PCA is an inhibitor of the PKM2/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α axis, indicating that PCA is potentially useful as an anti-breast cancer agent. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: In this study, the extract from roots of Carpesium abrotanoides Linn. (PCA) was shown to have a noticeable anticancer effect against breast cancer in vitro, and PCA exerts the anticancer activity by regulating glucose metabolism and PKM2 expression. These findings indicate that PCA is a promising agent with practical applications in the development of functional food containing Carpesium abrotanoides L. root extracts. |
