Naturally existing polyphenols in virgin olive oil possess significative biological activities and are potential nutraceutical therapeutic for breast cancer. In the present study, we investigated the anti-breast cancer activity of oleuropein and its hydrolysates, and further explored their molecular mechanisms. A similar cellular viability was observed in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells both treated with oleocanthal (3?μg/mL), hydroxytyrosol (30?μg/mL) and oleuropein (200?μg/mL) showed the same cellular viability, indicating oleocanthal structure may be the main structural component part of the physiological activity of oleuropein. Results showed that olive polyphenols produced reactive oxygen species and suppressed breast cancer cells. For flow cytometry analysis, the three polyphenols impacted the MCF-7 cell and MDA-MB-231 cycle, stagnated in the G1 phase and S phase, respectively, via reducing Cyclin D protein expression and promoting cell apoptosis. The pro-apoptosis, anti-proliferation capacity and delaying cell cycle of the three olive oil polyphenols could be achieved through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, mainly inhibited phosphorylation of AKT, PI3K protein.
