Treatment of Mel-Ab cells with Terrein (10-100 µM) for 4 days significantly reduces melanin levels in a dose-dependent manner. Terrein reduces melanin synthesis by reducing tyrosinase production via ERK activation.
Terrein (5-500 µM; 24 and 48 hours) reduces the viability of these cells in concentration- and time-dependent manners.
Terrein (150, 250, 500µM; 24 hours) induces programmed cell death in both invasive and non-invasive breast cancer cell lines. Thus, the optimal non-toxic concentrations of Terrein (25 and 75 µM) were used for subsequent experiments.
Terrein (25 and 75 µM) significantly decrease the mRNA levels of both MMP-2 and MMP-9 in MDA-MB-231 cells. Terrein (75 µM) significantly decrease the mRNA levels of both MMP-2 and MMP-9 in MCF-7 cells.
Terrein (75 µM) inhibits the expression of RhoA, RhoB, p-Rac1 in MCF-7 cells. Terrein (75 µM) inhibits the expression of RhoB, p-Rac1 in MDA-MB-231 cells.
Terrein (10, 30, and 100 μM) inhibits the production of virulence factors such as elastase, pyocyanin, and rhamnolipid, as well as biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa PAO1 and PA14 strains.
