Farnesol, a C15 terpene alcohol that is ubiquitous in nature, is a component of plant essential oils and is a quorum sensing molecule in Candida albicans [1]. Farnesol exerts the pro-inflammatory effect by increasing the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, and COX-2 in macrophage cells[2]. Farnesol has been widely used in various cell models and animal models to inhibit tumor growth[3].
In vitro, Farnesol treatment for 24 hours significantly inhibited the viability of A549 cells and Caco-2 cells, with IC50 values of 4.6mM and 3.9mM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 20μM Farnesol for 48 hours significantly inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cells, induced the expression of THRβ1 mRNA and protein, and prevented the binding of THRβ1 to DNA[5]. Treatment of H460 cells with 250μM Farnesol for 24 hours induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and unfolded protein response, promoted cell apoptosis, accompanied by the activation of MEK1/2[6].
In vivo, Farnesol treatment via oral administration at a dose of 100mg/kg/day for 5 weeks restored the cytokine secretion capacity of peritoneal macrophages in asthmatic mice, and reduced the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)[7]. Oral administration of 50mg/kg Farnesol daily for 5 weeks significantly reduced tumor growth in a prostate cancer mouse model[8].

Farnesol是一种在自然界普遍存在的C15萜烯醇,是植物精油的组成部分,也是白色念珠菌的群体感应分子[1]。Farnesol通过增加巨噬细胞中IL-6、TNF-α和COX-2的水平发挥促炎作用[2]。Farnesol已被广泛用于各种细胞模型和动物模型,以抑制肿瘤生长[3]。
在体外,Farnesol处理24小时显著抑制了A549细胞和Caco-2细胞的活力,IC50值分别为4.6mM和3.9mM[4]。使用20µM的Farnesol处理48小时,显著抑制了MCF-7细胞的生长,诱导了THRβ1 mRNA和蛋白的表达,并阻止了THRβ1与DNA的结合[5]。使用250µM的Farnesol处理H460细胞24小时,诱导了内质网应激和未折叠蛋白反应,促进了细胞凋亡,并伴有MEK1/2的激活[6]。
在体内,每日口服给予100mg/kg剂量的Farnesol,持续5周,恢复了哮喘小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞的细胞因子分泌能力,并降低了IL-6、TNF-α和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)的水平[7]。每日口服50mg/kg剂量的Farnesol,持续5周,显著降低了前列腺癌小鼠模型中的肿瘤生长[8]。

Cell lines | Caco-2 cells |
Preparation Method | The growth and maintenance of Caco-2 cells were carried out in a modified Dubecco Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 10% FBS and 1% antibiotics, and the cells were cultured at 37°C, 5% CO2 and humidity conditions. Adjust the cell concentration to 5×104 cells/ml, and inoculate it in 96-well plates at a volume of 100μl/well. Treat the cells with different concentrations of Farnesol (0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10mM) for 24 hours, and then analyze the cell viability. |
Reaction Conditions | 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10mM; 24h |
Applications | Farnesol treatment inhibited the cell viability of Caco-2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male nude mice |
Preparation Method | Five-week-old male nude mice weighing 20-30 grams were raised in a standard sterile environment with a temperature of 23±5℃ and a relative humidity of 40±10%. A density of 5×106 cells/ml of DU145 cells were injected subcutaneously into the lateral abdomen of the nude mice. All mice received oral treatment starting from the day of tumor implantation and continued for 5 weeks. The control group mice were orally administered 0.2ml of corn oil daily for 5 weeks. The treatment group mice were orally administered 50mg/kg of Farnesol daily for 5 weeks, and the tumor growth was analyzed. |
Dosage form | 50mg/kg/day for 5 weeks; p.o. |
Applications | Farnesol treatment significantly decreased the tumor volume in the DU145 cell- xenograft mouse models. |
