AI Article Synopsis

  • Canine mammary tumors are a significant health issue in female dogs, necessitating advanced treatment methods alongside traditional surgery.
  • Doxorubicin has been shown in human studies to effectively impact various cancer-related processes and was tested on two canine mammary cancer cell lines (P114 and CMT-U27).
  • Treatment with Doxorubicin inhibited cell growth and altered gene expressions related to the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, offering insights into its effects on canine mammary tumors.

Article Abstract

Canine mammary tumors represent one of the leading malignant pathologies in female dogs, displaying the importance of efficient therapeutic findings, besides the golden-standard surgery, able to limit the development of the disease. Studies in human cancers demonstrated that Doxorubicin presents a good effect in different biological processes like apoptosis, autophagy, the cell cycle, cell invasion, and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. This study followed the effects of Doxorubicin on two canine mammary cancer cell lines P114 and CMT-U27. Doxorubicin treatment in both cell lines shows an inhibitory effect in cell proliferation and an alteration in expression of the EMT-related genes. The obtained results provide valuable information for revealing the link between Doxorubicin, phenotypic changes, and proliferation dynamics in canine mammary tumor models.

Potential Interaction of Pinocembrin with Drug Transporters and Hepatic Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel)

January 2025

Research Center of Transport Protein for Medical Innovation, Department of Physiology, Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Ratchathewi, Bangkok 10400, Thailand.

: Pinocembrin is a promising drug candidate for treating ischemic stroke. The interaction of pinocembrin with drug transporters and drug-metabolizing enzymes is not fully revealed. The present study aims to evaluate the interaction potential of pinocembrin with cytochrome P450 (CYP450: CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19) and drug transporters including organic anion transporters (OAT1 and OAT3), organic cation transporters (OCT1 and OCT2), multidrug and toxin extrusion (MATE1 and MATE2, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP).

In canine mammary neoplasms, greater inflammation is associated with higher histological grade, lymphatic invasion, and metastases. This retrospective study assessed the density of peri- and intratumoral tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), and CD3 and CD79 lymphocytes in canine mammary neoplasms with a solid arrangement, and associated such data with histological types, immunophenotype, prognostic factors, cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression and overall and cancer-specific survival. Sixty-one neoplasms with a solid arrangement were classified as malignant myoepitheliomas (6/9.

Nestlé Purina Research, One Checkerboard Square, St. Louis, MO 63164, USA.

Colostrum, the first fluid secreted by the mammary glands of mammalian mothers, contains essential nutrients for the health and survival of newborns. Bovine colostrum (BC) is notable for its high concentrations of bioactive components, such as immunoglobulins and lactoferrin. Despite dogs being the world's most popular companion animals, there is limited research on their immune systems compared to humans.

Inflammatory mammary carcinoma (IMC) is the most aggressive variant of invasive mammary tumours in dogs and in women. Decorin is an extracellular matrix molecule whose expression can be reduced or absent in various human cancers, which is associated with a poor prognosis. E-cadherin is a cell adhesion protein whose expression is reduced in several neoplasms.

Access of drugs to the central nervous system is limited by the blood-brain barrier, and this in turn affects drug efficacy/toxicity. To date, most drug discovery optimization paradigms have relied heavily on in vitro transporter assays and preclinical species pharmacokinetic evaluation to provide a qualitative assessment of human brain penetration. Because of the lack of human brain pharmacokinetic data, mechanistic models for preclinical species, combined with in vitro and in silico data, are useful for translation to human.
