Radio-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is resistant to conventional drugs and radiation therapy. ortho-topolin riboside (oTR) has been evaluated for its anticancer activity in several types of cancer cells. However, its anti-proliferative activity in radio-resistant TNBC cells has not yet been reported. Therefore, we investigated the anti-proliferative activity of oTR in radio-resistant TNBC cells, and performed metabolome, lipidome, transcriptome, and proteome profiling to reveal the mechanisms of the anticancer activity of oTR. oTR showed cytotoxicity against radio-resistant TNBC cells with an inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 7.78 &#x3bc;M. Significantly decreased (p value < 0.05) basal and compensatory glycolysis were observed in the oTR-treated group than untreated group. Mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity, which is relevant to cell fitness and flexibility, was significantly decreased (p value < 0.05) in the oTR-treated group. The major metabolic pathways significantly altered by oTR according to metabolome, transcriptome, and proteome profiles were the glycerolipid/glycerophospholipid pathway (log2(FC) of MGLL = -0.13, log2(FC) of acylglycerol lipase = -1.35, log2(FC) of glycerol = -0.81), glycolysis (log2(FC) of EGLN1 = 0.16, log2(FC) of EGLN1 = 0.62, log2(FC) of glucose = -0.76, log2(FC) of lactate = -0.81), and kynurenine pathway (log2(FC) of KYNU = 0.29, log2(FC) of kynureninase = 0.55, log2(FC) of alanine = 0.72). Additionally, proline metabolism (log2(FC) of PYCR1 = -0.17, log2(FC) of proline = -0.73) was significantly altered in the metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles. The MAPK signaling pathway (log2(FC) of CCN1 = -0.15, log2(FC) of CCN family member 1 = -1.02) and Rap 1 signaling pathway (log2(FC) of PARD6B = -0.28, log2(FC) of PAR6B = -3.13) were also significantly altered in transcriptomic and proteomic profiles. The findings of this study revealed that oTR has anticancer activity in radio-resistant TNBC cells by affecting various metabolic pathways, suggesting the potential of oTR as a novel anticancer agent for radio-resistant TNBC patients.
