1 Combined γ Tocotrienol and Met Inhibitor Treatment Suppresses Mammary Cancer Cell Prolifera;on, Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transi;on, and Migra;on Paul W. Sylvester, Ph.D. Pfizer Endowed Professor of Pharmacy College of Pharmacy University of Louisiana at Monroe, USA

2 Tocotrienols and Cancer Cancer is a group of more than 100 different diseases characterized by uncontrolled cellular growth, local tissue invasion, and distant metastases. Current strategies for treating cancer have focused on developing drugs directed against specific molecular targets associated with tumor cell growth and progression. Tocotrienols may have great potential in the prevention and treatment of cancer because of multiple mechanisms of action directed against tumor cell proliferation and viability.

3 Vitamin E and Cancer Antiproliferative Effects Tocotrienols inhibit growth factor receptor activation. Leading to the suppression of mitogenic signaling pathways. Resulting in the blockage of cell cycle progression and inhibition of cancer cell division.

9 Met Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Met is the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF is a growth factor normally ac;ve in wound healing, liver regenera;on and organ morphogenesis. Met dysregula;on results in increase cellular prolifera;on, survival, decrease adhesion, cytoskeletal changes, and increased mo;lity. Cancers with aberrant Met ac;vity are highly aggressive, invasive and metasta;c and these pa;ents have a poor prognosis.

29 Conclusions γtocotrienol inhibits both EGFreceptor and Metreceptor tyrosine kinase activity and mitogenic signaling. These results strongly suggest that γtocotrienol treatment may provide significant health benefit in the prevention and/or treatment of breast cancer in women with deregulated HGF/Met signaling either as monotherapy or in combination with Met Inhibitors in the treatment of highly invasive and metastatic forms of breast cancer.
