1,4-DPCA (24 hours) treatment specifically increases the expression of multiple target genes, including the proangiogenic target genes Vegfa and Hmox1 and proglycolytic targets Ldh-a, Pgk1, Pdk1, and Glut1 in mouse B6 cells.
1,4-DPCA treatment significantly reduces the colony sizes of T4-2 (10 μM 1,4-DPCA) and ZR-75-1 cells (20 μM 1,4-DPCA). 1,4-DPCA-treated T4-2 cells form polarized spheroids in 3D culture. 1,4-DPCA treatment significantly reduces invasive branches in DA-MB-157 (20 μM 1,4-DPCA) and MDA-MB-231 (10 μM 1,4-DPCA) cells.1,4-DPCA inhibits the proliferation of T4-2, ZR-75-1, MDA-MB-157 and MDA-MB-231 cells.
