Both in Taiwan and around the world, lung cancer is a primary cause of cancer-related deaths. In Taiwan, the most prevalent form of lung cancer is lung adenocarcinoma, a type of non-small-cell lung carcinoma. Although numerous lung cancer therapies are available, their clinical outcomes are unsatisfactory. Natural products, including fungal metabolites, are excellent sources of pharmaceutical compounds used in cancer treatment. We employed in vitro cell invasion, cell proliferation, cell migration, cell viability, and colony formation assays with the aim of evaluating the effects of coriloxin, isolated from fermented broths of Nectria balsamea YMJ94052402, on human lung adenocarcinoma CL1-5 and/or A549 cells. The potential targets regulated by coriloxin were examined through Western blot analysis. The cytotoxic effect of coriloxin was more efficiently exerted on lung adenocarcinoma cells than on bronchial epithelial cells. Moreover, low-concentration coriloxin significantly suppressed adenocarcinoma cells’ proliferative, migratory, and clonogenic abilities. These inhibitory effects were achieved through ERK/AKT inactivation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition regulation, and HLJ1 expression. Our findings suggest that coriloxin can be used as a multitarget anticancer agent. Further investigations of the application of coriloxin as an adjuvant therapy in lung cancer treatment are warranted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
