Colon cancer is a common epithelial malignancies worldwide. Epidemiologic evidence has shown that nutrition and dietary components are important environmental factors involved in the development of this disease. We investigated the biological activity of 6,7,4′-trihydroxyisoflavone (6,7,4′-THIF, a metabolite of daidzein) inin vitroandin vivomodels of human colon cancer. 6,7,4′-THIF suppressed anchorage-dependent and -independent growth of HCT-116 and DLD1 human colon cancer cells more effectively than daidzein. In addition, 6,7,4′-THIF induced cell cycle arrest at the S and G2/M phases in HCT-116 human colon cancer cells. Western blot analysis revealed that 6,7,4′-THIF effectively suppressed the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 2, but had no effect on other S- or G2/M-phase regulatory proteins such as cyclin A, cyclin B1 or CDK1. Daidzein did not affect the expression of any of these proteins. In kinase and pull-down assays, 6,7,4′-THIF, but not daidzein, inhibited CDK1 and CDK2 activities in HCT-116 cells by directly interacting with CDK1 and CDK2. In a xenograft mouse model, 6,7,4′-THIF significantly decreased tumor growth, volume and weight of HCT-116 xenografts. 6,7,4′-THIF bound directly to CDK1 and CDK2in vivo, resulting in the suppression of CDK1 and CDK2 activity in tumors corresponding with ourin vitroresults. Collectively, these results suggest that CDK1 and CDK2 are potential molecular targets of 6,7,4′-THIF to suppress HCT-116 cell proliferationin vitroandin vivo. These findings provide insight into the biological actions of 6,7,4′-THIF and might establish a molecular basis for the development of new cancer therapeutic agents.
