Biological/Functional activity & target protein
Anticancer activity

Exhibited antiproliferative activity and induced cell cycle arrest in S phase. The tuna cooking juice hydrolysates (PA) showed antiproliferative activities up to 25% against MCF-7 cells, and the > 2.5 kDa ultrafiltration fraction (PAH2.5) possessed the highest antiproliferative activity with an IC50 value of 1.39 mg/ mL. PAH2.5 induced cell cycle arrest in S phase through the increases of p21 and p27, and decrease of cyclin A expression. Further, PAH2.5 also induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells by downregulation of the expression of Bcl-2, PARP and caspase 9, and upregulation of the expression of p53, Bax and cleaved caspase 3. The peptide was identified in PAH2.5 as KLPPLLLAKLLMSGKLLAEPCTGR.
