Embodiment approach

[0106] An embodiment wherein only isoleucine or a salt thereof is contained as branched-chain amino acid;

[0107] An embodiment wherein only leucine or a salt thereof is contained as branched chain amino acid;

[0108] An embodiment wherein only valine or a salt thereof is contained as branched chain amino acid;

[0109] An embodiment comprising isoleucine or a salt thereof and leucine or a salt thereof as branched-chain amino acids;

[0110] An embodiment comprising isoleucine or a salt thereof and valine or a salt thereof as branched-chain amino acids;

[0111] An embodiment comprising leucine or a salt thereof and valine or a salt thereof as branched-chain amino acids; and

[0112] An embodiment wherein isoleucine or a salt thereof, leucine or a salt thereof, and valine or a salt thereof are contained as branched-chain amino acids.

Embodiment 1

[0171] Example 1: Effect of BCAA on the expression of stem cell markers and differentiation markers in the human liver cancer cell line HAK4

[0172] Human hepatoma cell line HAK4 cells were plated at a concentration of 12,000 cells / well and cultured in 2 mM BCAA or LC 2.5% medium for 72 hours. BCAA is a mixture of isoleucine, leucine and valine (weight ratio: isoleucine:leucine:valine=1:2:1.2). The concentration of BCAA "2 mM" is the total concentration of all amino acids of isoleucine, leucine and valine.

[0173] The composition of LC 2.5% medium is shown in the table below. It should be noted that the "2.5%" in LC 2.5% is the bovine serum content.

Embodiment 2

[0187] Example 2: Effect of the combined use of 5FU (5-fluorouracil) and BCAA on the human liver cancer cell line HAK4 (in vitro test)

[0188] At a concentration of 3000 cells / well, the human liver cancer cell line HAK4 cells were plated and cultured for 72 hours under the following conditions:

[0189] ?LC 2.5% Medium

[0190] ?BCAA (2 mM)

[0191] ?5FU (2.5 μg / ml)

[0192] • BCAA (2 mM) + 5FU (2.5 μg / ml).

[0193] After 72 hours, cells were stained with Annexin V using the ApoAlert Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Kit (Clontech), fixed, and apoptotic cells (%) were detected by Array Scan (Thermo Fisher) .

[0194] Specifically, cells in a 96-well plate were washed with 1X binding buffer, 40 μl of 1X binding buffer containing annexin V (1 μl) was added to each well, and cells were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 5 –15 min. Cells were washed and fixed with 2% formaldehyde. Add 100 μl of PBS containing Hoechst33258 solution, and incubate the cells in the dark fo...

Abstract

The invention relates to an agent for potentiating the antitumor activity of a chemotherapeutic agent for cancer including cancer stem cells, comprising at least one branched-chain amino acid selected from isoleucine, leucine, and valine or a salt thereof. The invention also relates to an agent for treating cancer including cancer stem cells, comprising at least one branched-chain amino acid selected from isoleucine, leucine, and valine or a salt thereof, and a chemotherapeutic agent in combination. The invention also relates to an agent for preventing the metastasis or recurrence of cancer including cancer stem cells, comprising at least one branched-chain amino acid selected from isoleucine, leucine, and valine or a salt thereof, and a chemotherapeutic agent in combination.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a branched-chain amino acid-containing agent for enhancing the antitumor activity of a chemotherapeutic agent against cancer containing cancer stem cells, a branched-chain amino acid-containing agent for inducing differentiation of cancer stem cells, and a branched-chain amino acid-containing agent, and An agent comprising a combination of a branched-chain amino acid and a chemotherapeutic agent for inhibiting or treating metastasis or recurrence of cancer containing cancer stem cells, and the like. Background technique [0002] Cancer stem cells are one of the subpopulations of cancer cells contained in tumors, have self-replication ability and pluripotency, and have the ability to cause cancer when orthotopically metastasized (Non-Patent Document 1). [0003] In various cancers, the presence of markers specifically expressed in cancer stem cells is known, and based on the expression of such markers it is possible to e...
