The role of β-estradiol (E) in lipoprotein metabolism in mammary tumors is unclear, therefore, we investigated the effect of E on the secretion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from mouse mammary tumor FM3A cells. E-treated cells increased the secretion of active LPL from FM3A cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Activity of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was increased in the tumor cells treated with E, and enhanced secretion of LPL was suppressed by MAPK kinase 1/2 inhibitor, PD98059, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 inhibitor, FR180204, p38 MAPK inhibitor, SB202190, and phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, LY294002. In addition, the effect of E on LPL secretion was markedly suppressed by an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC) 1 and 2, KU0063794, but were not by a mTORC1 inhibitor, rapamycin. Furthermore, a small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated decrease in the expression of rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR (Rictor), a pivotal component of mTORC2, suppressed secretion of LPL by E. These results suggest that the stimulatory secretion of LPL by E from the tumor cells is closely associated with an activation of mTORC2 rather than mTORC1 possibly via the MAPK cascade.

Background: Lipoprotein metabolism is essential for the growth and proliferation of cancer cells, and is involved in the supply of energy and cellular components. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a very important enzyme in lipoprotein metabolism; however, the details underlying the mechanism of LPL secretion are unclear. Palbociclib is an antitumor drug that inhibits cell cycle progression and suppresses the growth of cancer cells.

The excellent photothermal properties of gold nanorods (Au-NRs) make them one of the most researched plasmonic photothermal nanomaterials. However, their biological applications have been hampered greatly due to surfactant-induced cytotoxicity. We herein report a simple synthesis of highly biocompatible gelatin stabilized Au-NRs (gelatin@Au-NRs) to address this issue.
