[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the mechanisms of quercetin in enhancing the sensitivity of adriamycin for breast cancer treatment using the network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro studies. Methods Targets of quercetin sensitization in breast cancer treatment were identified by utilizing the TCMSP, GeneCards, OMIM databases and Venny 2.1. The common targets were then input into the STRING database to construct a PPI network, and GO functional enrichment analysis was performed using R software, KEGG screening for action pathway targets. Molecular docking were conducted using AutoDock software. Finally, the anti-breast cancer effects and mechanisms of quercetin sensitizing adriamycin were validated through cytotoxicity assays, plate cloning assays, and Western blotting. Results Network pharmacology analysis revealed 155 overlapping targets between quercetin and breast cancer, with key targets including p53, Akt1, JUN, P53, MYC, FGFR, STAT3, etc. Quercetin has good affinity with Akt1 and p53 in the simulation of molecular docking. In vitro cellular experiments confirmed that quercetin can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis at higher concentrations, and significantly enhancing adriamycin impact on both 4T1 cells and their drug-resistant cells. Western blotting analysis revealed a significant decrease in Akt1 protein expression, and increase p53 protein expression in 4T1 cells treated with quercetin (P < 0.001). Conclusion Quercetin can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells by adriamycin, and its potential mechanism is mainly to regulate p53 and Akt1 signaling pathways, reduce the resistance to breast cancer treatment, and enhance the therapeutic effect.
