Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol on the proliferation,apoptosis,and migration of breast cancer cells and its mechanism and correlation with immune cell infiltration.Methods The network pharmacology and bioinformatics(GEPIA and KM-PLOT databases)were used to predict the target genes of breast cancer regulated by resveratrol,and their expression levels in breast cancer and correlations with immune cell infiltration were verified.The effects of resveratrol on the proliferation,cell cycle and apopto-sis,and migration of breast cancer cells were determined by the CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry,and cell scratch test,respectively.The mRNA expression levels of related target genes were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR).Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlations of the expression levels of related genes with immune cell infiltration.Results The expression levels of TP53 and VEGFA genes in breast cancer tissues were significantly higher than those in normal tissues(Z=-4.181 and-8.763,P<0.05).In the GEPIA database,the expression level of CDKN1A gene in breast cancer tis-sues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues(Z=-2.135,P<0.05).In the KMPLOT database,the expression level of HIF1α gene in breast cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues(Z=-2.269,P<0.05).Pearson correlation a-nalysis showed that the expression level of TP53 gene was positively correlated with B cell infiltration(partial.cor=0.102,P<0.01).The expression level of HIF-1α was positively correlated with the infiltration of CD8+T cells,CD4+T cells,monocytes,neutrophils,and dendritic cells(partial.cor=0.39,0.159,0.284,0.325,and 0.294,P<0.01).The expression level of VEGFA gene was positive-ly correlated with neutrophil infiltration(partial.cor=0.141,P<0.01).The expression level of CDKN1A gene was positively correlated with the infiltration of CD8+T cells,monocytes,neutrophils,and dendritic cells(partial.cor=0.081,0.209,0.11,and 0.09,P<0.01).Resveratrol could inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells,and the IC50 and IC25 values of breast cancer cells were 150 μmol/L and 50 μmol/L,respectively,after 48 hours of treatment with resveratrol.In addition,resveratrol could also arrest breast cancer cells in G1 phase,induce their apoptosis,and inhibit their migration.After treating breast cancer cells with resveratrol for 24 hours,with the increase of resveratrol concentration from 50 μmol/L to 150 μmol/L,the mRNA expression levels of TP53 and HIF1α genes increased gradually,with a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).After treating breast cancer cells with res-veratrol for 48 hours,the expression level of VEGFA mRNA was significantly decreased,and there was a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion TP53,HIF-1α,VEGFA,and CDKN1A genes are the action targets of resveratrol in breast cancer,which are mainly involved in the regulation of immune cell infiltration in breast cancer.Resveratrol inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells,induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis,and inhibits cell migration by regulating the P53-HIF1α/CDKN1A-VEGFA signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of grape seed extract (GSE) on breast cancer cell MCF-7 about the of proliferation and the gene expression of survivin, and to investigate the molecular biological mechanism of inhibition by GSE.
METHODMTT was used to measure the role of proliferated inhibition of GSE at the dosage of 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 mg x L(-1) with different time. To calculate the IC50 of GSE and to select the suitable concentration and treatment time. The change of cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. mRNA expression of Survivin was observed by RT-PCR. Luciferase kit was used to observe the change of core promoter of survivin which was inserted in the flourescence report vector. And further to analyse the bind side of transcription factor on the sequence of core promoter of survivin was further analysed by using the microsoft of bioinformatics.
RESULTGSE could inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell MCF-7 with time and dosage-dependent (P < 0.05). GSE could arrest the cell cycle in S periods (P < 0.05) and also inhibit the mRNA expression of survivin effectively (P < 0.01); GSE could down-regulate the activity of core promoter of survivin significantly (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONGSE can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell MCF-7 through arresting the cell cycle in S periods. The mechanism may be that GSE regulate the activity of transcription factor which are related to the activity of core promoter of survivin and decrease the gene expression of survivin.
