Tanshinlactone triggers methuosis in breast cancer cells via NRF2 activation by Wanjun Lin, Zifeng Huang, Xuening Zhang, Dayuan Zheng, Yanchao Yang, Meina Shi, Dongfang Yang, Tong Chu, Wenzhe Ma

“…Human breast cancer cell lines-derived xenograft tumor explants assay was used to evaluate the compound’s efficacy and to assess the induction of methuosis via NRF2 activation by tanshinlactone.ResultsTanshinlactone selectively inhibits the growth of ER+ and HER2+/EGFR + breast cancer cells while showing limited cytotoxicity against other cancer types and normal cells. The selective anti-breast cancer activity is associated with the induction of methuosis, characterized by cytoplasmic vacuolization due to dysfunctional macropinocytosis. …”
