Chemical compounds of various types have been identified in the Red Sea marine sponge Xestospongia testudinaria, including sterol esters, sterols, indole alkaloids, and brominated polyunsaturated fatty acids. These compounds have demonstrated promising biological features, which in cludes anti-inflammatory, cancer preventive, and antioxidant capacities.Methods: The cytotoxic potential of Xestospongia testudinaria was assessed by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and morphological alterations in MCF-7 cell line. Furthermore, the flow cytometry was also utilized to assess apoptosis and identify changes in the cell cycle; besides, cell migration was assessed by scratch wound-healing assay.Results: A significant dose-dependent decrease in the percentage of MCF-7 cell viability was observed with IC50 39.8 ug/mL. Functional studies were performed on MCF-7 to show that Xestospongia testudinaria raises apoptotic cell death and induces growth arrest at the G1/G0 while inhibiting cell migration in scratch assay.Conclusion: These results demonstrated that Xestospongia testudinaria extract has an inhibitory effect on breast cancer cells proliferation, migration and induce apoptosis. Thus, it holds great promise as a potential treatment for breast cancer. Keywords: Red Sea sponge, Xestospongia testudinaria, breast cancer cell lines, cytotoxic activity |
