Heliannuols are a compound that can be found in the leaves of sunflower Helianthus( annuus L.). The purpose of this study is to predict interactions, toxicity, physicochemical, and pharmacokinetics of Heliannuol A, B, C, D, and E based in silico as candidate anticancer drugs. Estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) is a new potential therapy for glioma with an antiproliferative effect. Ligands agonist ERβ have the potential activity to inhibit the proliferation of glioma cells and the discovery of this ligand has opened new therapy through the ERβ to prolong survival in cancer patients. Prediction of physicochemical properties based on Lipinski rules and penetrate in the blood-brain barrier. Receptor validation shows that 2I0G(A) has a smaller RMSD value than 2I0G(B), receptor validation is valid if the RMSD value less than 2. The result of molecular docking shows that Heliannuols comply with Lipinski rules and have low toxicity. Heliannuols also have a similar amino acid with comparison drug (Erteberel), but the rerank score of Erteberel still lower than Heliannuols. Keywords: Helianthus annuus, Heliannuols, estrogen receptor β (ERβ), in silico, toxicity. INTRODUCTION using HPLC with hexane and ethyl acetate solvents (Macias, et al., 1994; Macias, et al., 2000; Macias, Sunflower plant (Helianthus annuus L.) has et al., 2002). The new anticancer treatment therapy many chemical compounds, especially in the leaves involves estrogen receptor beta-agonists (ERβ) of this plant containing monoterpene, diterpene, by the pathway of inhibiting cancer growth and alkaloids, phenols, and lactone sesquiterpenes anticancer therapy with estrogen receptors can (Ceccarini, 2004). Heliannuols are one of the reduce glioma cell proliferation (Sareddy, et al., sesquiterpenes which has a benzoxepine ring and 2012; Sareddy and Vadlamudi, 2015). anticancer activity produced by the inhibition ERβ has quite a different function mechanism of phosphoinositide 3 kinases (PI3K) from ERα, ERβ has antiproliferative action and (Ghantous, et al., 2010; Hefron, et al., 2011; Kuntala, et al., 2017; Ren, et al., 2003).

  • Decreases Breast Cancer Cell Survival by Regulating the IRE1&Sol
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 4130–4141 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc ORIGINAL ARTICLE ERβ decreases breast cancer cell survival by regulating the IRE1/XBP-1 pathway G Rajapaksa1, F Nikolos1, I Bado1, R Clarke2, J-Å Gustafsson1 and C Thomas1 Unfolded protein response (UPR) is an adaptive reaction that allows cancer cells to survive endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress that is often induced in the tumor microenvironment because of inadequate vascularization. Previous studies report an association between activation of the UPR and reduced sensitivity to antiestrogens and chemotherapeutics in estrogen receptor α (ERα)- positive and triple-negative breast cancers, respectively. ERα has been shown to regulate the expression of a key mediator of the EnR stress response, the X-box-binding protein-1 (XBP-1). Although network prediction models have associated ERβ with the EnR stress response, its role as regulator of the UPR has not been experimentally tested. Here, upregulation of wild-type ERβ (ERβ1) or treatment with ERβ agonists enhanced apoptosis in breast cancer cells in the presence of pharmacological inducers of EnR stress. Targeting the BCL-2 to the EnR of the ERβ1-expressing cells prevented the apoptosis induced by EnR stress but not by non-EnR stress apoptotic stimuli indicating that ERβ1 promotes EnR stress-regulated apoptosis. Downregulation of inositol-requiring kinase 1α (IRE1α) and decreased splicing of XBP-1 were associated with the decreased survival of the EnR-stressed ERβ1-expressing cells. ERβ1 was found to repress the IRE1 pathway of the UPR by inducing degradation of IRE1α.

Estrogen receptor status is an important prognostic factor and endocrine therapy is the choice of rst-line treatment in ER-positive breast cancer. However, most tumors develop resistance to endocrine therapy. Here we demonstrate that BH3 proling technology, in particular dynamic BH3 proling can predict the response to endocrine therapy agents as well as development of acquired resistance in breast cancer cells independent of estrogen receptor status. Immunouorescence analysis and subcellular fractionation experiments revealed distinct ER-α and ER-β subcellular localization patterns in breast cancer cells, including mitochondrial localization of both receptor subtypes. shRNA-mediated depletion of ER-β in breast cancer cells led to resistance to endocrine therapy agents and selective reconstitution of ER-β in mitochondria restored sensitivity. Notably, mitochondria-targeted ER-α did not restore sensitivity, even conferred further resistance to endocrine therapy agents.

Estrogen receptor status is an important prognostic factor and endocrine therapy is the choice of first-line treatment in ER-positive breast cancer. However, most tumors develop resistance to endocrine therapy. Here we demonstrate that BH3 profiling technology, in particular, dynamic BH3 profiling can predict the response to endocrine therapy agents as well as the development of acquired resistance in breast cancer cells independent of estrogen receptor status. Immunofluorescence analysis and subcellular fractionation experiments revealed distinct ER-α and ER-β subcellular localization patterns in breast cancer cells, including mitochondrial localization of both receptor subtypes. shRNA-mediated depletion of ER-β in breast cancer cells led to resistance to endocrine therapy agents and selective reconstitution of ER-β in mitochondria restored sensitivity. Notably, mitochondria-targeted ER-α did not restore sensitivity, even conferred further resistance to endocrine therapy agents. In addition, expressing mitochondria-targeted ER-β in breast cancer cells resulted in decreased mitochondrial respiration alongside increased total ROS and mitochondrial superoxide production. Furthermore, our data demonstrated that mitochondrial ER-β can be successfully targeted by the selective ER-β agonist Erteberel. Thus, our findings provide novel findings on mitochondrial estrogen signaling in breast cancer cells and suggest the implementation of the dynamic BH3 technique as a tool to predict acquired endocrine therapy resistance.

Its role in driving estrogen receptor-expressing breast cancers is well established, but it also has important roles in a number of other cancers, acting both on tumor cells directly as well as in the function of multiple cells of the tumor microenvironment, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and adipocytes, which can greatly impact carcinogenesis. One of its receptors, the G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), has gained much interest over the last decade in both health and disease. Increasing evidence shows that GPER contributes to clinically observed endocrine therapy resistance in breast cancer while also playing a complex role in a number of other cancers. Recent discoveries regarding the targeting of GPER in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition, particularly in melanoma, have led to the initiation of the first Phase I clinical trial for the GPER-selective agonist G-1.
