PLA2-MjTX-II from Bothrops moojeni snake venom exhibits antimetastatic and antiangiogenic effects on human lung cancer cells
Toxicon(2024)
摘要
Phospholipases A2 (PLA2s) from snake venom possess antitumor and antiangiogenic properties. In this study, we evaluated the antimetastatic and antiangiogenic effects of MjTX-II, a Lys49 PLA2 isolated from Bothrops moojeni venom, on lung cancer and endothelial cells. Using in vitro and ex vivo approaches, we demonstrated that MjTX-II reduced cell proliferation and inhibited fundamental processes for lung cancer cells (A549) growth and metastasis, such as adhesion, migration, invasion, and actin cytoskeleton decrease, without significantly interfering with non-tumorigenic lung cells (BEAS-2B). Furthermore, MjTX-II caused cell cycle alterations, increased reactive oxygen species production, modulated the expression of pro- and antiangiogenic genes, and decreased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in HUVECs. Finally, MjTX-II inhibited ex vivo angiogenesis processes in an aortic ring model. Therefore, we conclude that MjTX-II exhibits antimetastatic and antiangiogenic effects in vitro and ex vivo and represents a molecule that hold promise as a pharmacological model for antitumor therapy.
