Methods After MCF-7 and MDA- MB-231 breast cancer cells treated with 20, 40, 60 and 80μmol/L AMP for 24h, cell viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay, glucose uptake assay was performed using 2-NBDG, lactate levels were measured using the colorimetric lactate assay kit and the protein expressions were assessed by Western blot. Results AMP treatment could inhibit cell viability in MCF-7 and MDA- MB-231 breast cancer cells in dose-dependent manners. The further experiments exhibited that AMP successfully blocked cell glycolysis by inhibiting the level of glucose uptake and the production of lactic acid, decreased the level of glycolysis-related proteins pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), glucose transporter1 (GLUT1) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), and also inactivated the Akt-mTOR pathway by down-regulation of p-Akt、p-mTOR、p-p70S6K expressions. However, Akt-mTOR pathway inducer IGF-1 treatment significantly attenuated AMP- induced above mentioned results. Conclusion AMP suppressed breast cancer cell growth and glycolysis through inhibiting Akt-mTOR/PKM2 pathway, and may provide a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer treatment.
