Ergot-Derived Substance-X Reduces Tumor Growth and Size in Nude Mice with MCF-7 Mammary Adenocarcinoma Emily P Frogbottom Undergraduate Research Trainee Research Mentor: Dr. Tenure Track University of Texas at San Antonio NOTE! I have Made up all of the data in this study.

Introduction – Breast Cancer 100,000 diagnoses annually 1 100,000 diagnoses annually 1 Leading cause of death in women Leading cause of death in women Vary in metastatic capacity Vary in metastatic capacity Vascularization required for growth/metastasis Vascularization required for growth/metastasis MCF-7: Human adenocarcinoma cell line MCF-7: Human adenocarcinoma cell line 1 Centers for Disease Control, 2010

Introduction –Treatment Generally surgery & chemotherapy Generally surgery & chemotherapy Mortality __% at 5 years 1 Mortality __% at 5 years 1 More effective chemotherapeutic agents needed More effective chemotherapeutic agents needed Some work by inhibiting vascularization 2 Some work by inhibiting vascularization 2 2 De Olivera, L, Hamm A, Mazzone M (2011) Mol Aspects Med Apr;32(2): Epub 2011 Apr 22

Hypothesis MCF-7 tumor growth will be inhibited through treatment with vasoactive Substance-X. Inhibition will be associated with reduced angiogenesis MCF-7 tumor growth will be inhibited through treatment with vasoactive Substance-X. Inhibition will be associated with reduced angiogenesis

Conclusions Substance-X (10 uM – 100 uM) inhibits growth of MCF-7 tumors in athymic mice Substance-X (10 uM – 100 uM) inhibits growth of MCF-7 tumors in athymic mice Angiogenesis significantly inhibited at higher dosages Angiogenesis significantly inhibited at higher dosages Hypothesis retained Hypothesis retained Substance-X may be a powerful treatment against adenocarcinoma breast tumor growth Substance-X may be a powerful treatment against adenocarcinoma breast tumor growth

Future Directions Establish LD-50 curve Establish LD-50 curve Explore concentrations Explore concentrations Vary treatment schedules Vary treatment schedules Examine effects on metastasis Examine effects on metastasis Compare with standard chemotherapeutic agents Compare with standard chemotherapeutic agents
