Despite the tremendous improvement in cancer therapeutics, treatment of late-stage breast cancer remains a challenge for both basic scientists and clinicians. Lovastatin, a natural product derived from Aspergillus terreus or Monascus ruber, has been widely used as cholesterol-lowing drug in the clinic. It also has anti-cancer properties through poorly defined molecular mechanisms. In the present study, we employed a novel antibody microarray technology to investigate the molecular mechanisms through which lovastatin inhibits breast cancer. We found that lovastatin up-regulated 17 proteins and down-regulated 20 proteins in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. These included proteins that modulate apoptosis, cell proliferation, differentiation, signal transduction, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and tumor metastasis. Modulation of these pathways may mediate, in part, the inhibitory activity of lovastatin on breast cancer.
