Breast cancer is the most common female malignant tumors in the world. It seriously affects women's physical and mental health and the leading cause of cancer death among women. Our previous study demonstrated that diet-derived IFN-gamma promoted the malignant transformation of primary bovine mammary epithelial cells by accelerating arginine depletion. The current study aimed to explore whether arginine addition could inhibit the degree of malignant transformation and its molecular mechanism. The results indicate that arginine addition could alleviate the malignant transformation of mammary epithelial cells induced by IFN-gamma, including reducing cell proliferation, cell migration and colony formation, through the NF-kappa B-GCN2/elF2 alpha pathway. The in vivo experiments also consistently confirmed that arginine supplementation could significantly inhibit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. Furthermore, the investigation of the clinical data also revealed that the plasma or tissue from human breast cancer patients owned lower arginine level and higher IFN-gamma level than that from patients with benign breast disease, showing IFN-gamma may be a potential control target. Our findings demonstrate that arginine supplement could antagonize the malignant transformation of mammary epithelial cells induced by IFN-gamma (nutritionally induced) both in vitro and in vivo, and IFN-gamma was higher in breast cancer women. This might provide a novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer regarding to nutrition.
