Natural isoflavone glabridin targets PI3Kγ as an adjuvant to increase the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 to tamoxifen and DU145 to paclitaxel

Glabridin is a natural isoflavone with estrogen receptor agonism and significant anti-tumor activity. Additionally, glabridin has a regulation effect on PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, but its exact target remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the antitumor activity of glabridin against breast cancer and prostate cancer cells, and further clarified its targeting to PI3K. We found that glabridin could significantly inhibit the cell viability of human breast cancer and prostate cancer cell lines. It induced caspase activation cascade and cell apoptosis through decreasing the mitochondrial transmembrane potential and increasing the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, glabridin could attenuate epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) progression by inhibiting cell migration. PharmMapper calculation showed that PI3Kγ might be the most potential target protein because of the highest Normal Fit score (0.9735) and z'-score (0.9797). Molecular docking and bio-layer interferometry (BLI) analysis further demonstrated the PI3Kγ targeting of glabridin. In vivo experiments showed that glabridin can effectively inhibit the tumor growth of breast cancer xenograft model, and does not show obvious hepatorenal toxicity. Moreover, glabridin could effectively promote the anti-proliferation and pro-apoptotic effects of tamoxifen on MDA-MB-231 cell and taxol on DU145 cell. Elucidating the targeting of glabridin to PI3K may lay a theoretical foundation for the structural derivatization of glabridin, which is expected to greatly promote the application and development of glabridin in the field of cancer therapy.
