OBJECTIVE:To elucidate the potential feature and mechanism of the caffeic acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl ester(CADPE)molecule,which can prevent colorectal cancer(CRC)in the 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine(DMH)/dextran sodium sulphate(DSS)-induced mouse model.METHODS:Institute of cancer research(ICR)male mice were injected with 20 mg/kg DMH for a week.After that,2%DSS was administered in the drinking water for another 7 d.The CADPE treatment was given to the DMH/DSS induced male mice at three different periods until their sacrifice.Histopathological examination was used for observing the CRC development at colonic mucosa.Immunohistochemistry(IHC),blood cells smearing and crypt damage scoring methods were used for investigating the anti-inflammation feature of CADPE related to CRC.The reversing targets searching method was applied with artificial intelligence(AI),computer-aided drug designing(CADD)and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis(IPA)techniques for predicting the potential targets and mechanism of CADPE highly related to CRC.RESULTS:The data indicated that CADPE inhibited CRC tumor development in the colitis-associated DMH/DSS induced mouse model after giving the early treatment.CADPE also impeded the acute inflammation by decreasing the infiltration of neutrophils significantly during the initial stage of CRC development.Finally,our data showed that CADPE prevented CRC by blocking active sites of three pivotal protein targets including epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)in two major cancer development pathways.CONCLUSIONS:CADPE effectively prevented CRC at early stage of tumor germination in the DMH/DSS mouse model highly likely due to its anti-acute inflammation characteristic and the ability of blocking EGFR,ERK and mTOR activities in two highly related CRC developing pathways.
