Abstract

Objective: The sodium-glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors Canagliflozin and Dapagliflozin are recently approved medications for type 2 diabetes. Recent studies indicate the potential ability of SGLT2 inhibitors to attenuate Cancer growth of SGLT2-expressing Cancer cells, but there is little known about the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on breast Cancer. The goal in this research was to assess the Anticancer activity of SGLT2 inhibitors in breast cancerin vitro and in vivo.

Methods: We test the SGLT2 expression in breast Cancer using immunohistochemistry and immunoblot assay. MTT cytotoxicity assay, colony formation assay and human breast Cancer cells nude mice xenograft model were performed to detect the effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on Cancer cell proliferation and growth. Flow Cytometry assay was performed to determine if the SGLT2 inhibitors induced cell cycle arrest and Apoptosis.

Results: We proved that SGLT2 expresses in breast Cancer cell lines and human breast tumor tissue samples. SGLT2 inhibitors Dapagliflozin and Canagliflozin exhibited a potent anti-proliferative effect in breast Cancer cells as demonstrated by MTT, clonogenic survival assay in vitro and xenograft growth model in vivo. Furthermore, we found that SGLT2 inhibitors arrested cell cycle in G1/G0 phase and induced cell Apoptosis. Western blot analysis demonstrated that treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors increased the phosphorylation of Amp-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and decreased the phosphorylation of 70 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1) in breast Cancer cells.

Conclusions: These findings indicate that SGLT2 inhibitor-therapy induced AMPK-mediated cell cycle arrest and Apoptosis, which is a potential novel strategy for the treatment of breast Cancer.
