HK2↓, The Akt inhibition affected glycolysis and markedly decreased levels of HK2, pyruvate kinase M2, ATP and lactate.
PKA↓,
COX2↓, UA may down-regulate the expression of COX-2
mtDam↑, UA significantly enhanced proapoptotic effects and stimulated mitochondrial dysfunction by activating caspases 3, 8 and 9, and downregulated Bcl-2 expression in these cancer cells.
Casp3↑,
Casp8↑,
Casp9↑,
Akt↓, UA downregulated the Akt signaling in three breast cancer cell lines
ROS↑, Derivative 17 significantly increased the production of ROS for 24 h, while 5 and 23 did so for 48 h.
MMP↓, human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231, UA decreased the mitochondrial ∆Ψm,
P53↑, regulatory proteins p53 and Bax were upregulated while the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2 was downregulated following treatment with UA.
