1. Introduction
Mollusks, especially Gastropods – which include land, freshwater, and sea snails – are commonly used as traditional medicine and cost-effective food resource (1). Snail meat has beneficial nutritional values as it is high in protein and low in fat (2). Hence markets around Asia, such as Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Hongkong, frequently process snail meat into food (3). A type of freshwater snail, Pila ampullacea, is a native mollusk easily found in Southeast Asian rice fields and lakes. Like its fellow gastropods, it contains high nutritional values (100 mg meat: ± 209 kcal calories, ± 18 g protein, 12 mg zinc, 102 mg iron, and 812 mg calcium) (4). Although conventionally consumed as food, Pila ampullacea is also recognized as a crop pest (5). The only component of snails that has been incorporated into food is snail meat (6, 7). As their consumption rises, snail shells are less explored functionally and become animal feed material, accessories, and waste products with low economic value (1).
Calcium carbonate constitutes 87-96% of the total weight of freshwater snail shells (8). High dietary calcium intake is clinically protective against multiple chronic diseases, including lowering the risks of developing cancer (9, 10). Calcium carbonate is also the primary material used to synthesize hydroxyapatite, a biocompatible material with high binding activity to proteins and genetic materials. Nanoparticle hydroxyapatite showed in vitro and in vivo anti-proliferative potential against cancer cells (11, 12). Various studies have shown that snail shells also contain bioactive compounds such as chitin – the primary chitosan material – that offer antipathogenic, antioxidant properties, as well as pharmaceutical additive potential (13, 14). Furthermore, chitin and its derivatives were found to have a significant immunomodulating response against cancer and antitumor activity through the downregulation of tumor angiogenesis factors, apoptotic effects stimulation, and decreased cell adhesion (15). However, the bioactive component’s profile of snail shells is partially influenced by their habitat, surrounding environment, mineral content, and microorganisms (1). Therefore, this article specifically aims to summarize the recent findings on potential anticancer properties in molecular and cellular oncology mechanisms of rice field snail shells.
2. Rice snail in general
Freshwater snails or rice field snails (Pila ampullacea) belong to a genus of large aquatic snails and the family of Ampullariidae (16). Besides, rice field snails can generally be found in ponds, marshes, and lakes. It has a morphology similar to a golden snail (Pomacea canaliculata) but with a darker green to black spiral-shaped shell. Its approximate height is around 100 mm, with a width of up to 100 mm (5). Pila ampullacea – also named apple snail – is often regarded as a crop pest with potential damage of 10-40% to wetland agricultural goods, especially rice (17). Pila ampullacea feeds on aquatic plants such as lettuce; however, during its starvation phase, it can consume decaying animals (18). Rice snail is considered to be a potential functional food ingredient due to its high protein and calcium with low fat and phosphorus content, which can offer metabolic advantages such as augmenting weight loss and reducing cardiometabolic risks (19, 20). Pila ampullacea has also been processed into various types of food and formulations, such as baby porridge, liquid food formula, crackers, and flavor enhancers (5, 16, 17). Furthermore, high scavenging activity towards free radicals was found in snail extract, potentially due to its amino acid characteristics (21).
3. Anticancer properties of rice snail shell
The shell extract of snails has been studied for its antioxidant property and influence on the Caco-2 cancer cell line (22). Interestingly, even though the antioxidant activity of the shell extract was higher than other parts of the snail, the shell extract didn’t display a significant reduction in cancer cell line viability, which may be influenced by the presence of Fe. Further study also showed the snail shell caused significant inhibitory effects against several cancer cell lines (SKOV-3, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and HepG2), in which the antiproliferative effect against SKO-V-3 (human ovarian cancer) cells was comparable to cisplatin as its positive control (23). Surprisingly, snail shells – in the form of powder – exhibited wound-healing properties (24), reflecting the anti-inflammatory activity of the shells. This regulation of the inflammatory process may be beneficial in treating cancer since inflammation and wound healing share “similar” mechanisms and hallmarks to cancer (25).
Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) was also successfully synthesized from the rice field snail shells (26). Hydroxyapatite – which is highly contained in snail shells – exhibited anticancer properties possibly through endocytosis in cancer cells and cellular protein synthesis suppression (27, 28). Direct injection of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles into a transplanted tumor formed by human hepatocarcinoma cells in vivo showed a 50% reduction in tumor size and inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells >65% (28). Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles exert their effects by localizing around the endoplasmic reticulum of the cancer cells where they impede the translation process by competitively binding to the ribosome and preventing mRNA from bonding with it; which causes GO/G1 phase arrest in the cell cycle (28). Another similar study showed laminated hydroxyapatite (L-HAp) significantly decreased the migration ability of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by blocking integrin β-1 phosphorylation which mediates the adhesion of cancer cells (29).
Proximate analysis of many shells of snail species revealed that snail shells contain low iron and zinc but high calcium and magnesium (30). Calcium and magnesium intakes were associated with the incidence of cancers and patients’ survivability (31, 32). Snail shell also contains calcium carbonate (87-96% of shell weight) (8). Interventions using calcium carbonate showed the capability of calcium carbonate to prevent recurrent adenomas in colorectal cancer patients (33). On the other side, calcium carbonate has been studied as a targeted drug or gene delivery strategy for malignant tissues and cells (34) and as a compartment of the cancer imaging system (35).
Apart from the aforementioned properties of snail shells, snail shell’s functionality as metal adsorbents due to their chitin, chitosan, and hydroxyapatite content has also been studied (36–38), indicating their potential to prevent cancer caused by carcinogenic metal toxicity (39). Chitin has an antiproliferative effect by lowering cell viability which can be employed in cancer treatment as a carrier for delivering medicines to a specific spot (40). Moreover, chitosan and its derivatives are also known for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties (41). On the other hand, Matusiewicz et al. (22) also identified myristic acid in the shell extract, a medium-chain fatty acid that can cause cancer cell death (42).
4. Future applications and implications
Snail meat is the only part of snails that has been utilized in various food products to increase their protein and calorie content which can alleviate malnutrition (6, 11). The snail shells were mostly underutilized and ended up as waste. Snail shell powder has only been used as a calcium source in the diets of broilers, small animals, and cattle (43). However, snail shell remains interesting to be utilized as food, supplement, or drug component. Incorporating snail shell powder into a diet may be a novel form of mineral fortification. For example, a snail shell can be made into a powder that can be added to daily food or beverages. Dietary intake of chitosan – which is present in the snail shells – may promote cellular immunity, which is strongly linked to cancer development (44). Chitosan was capable to boost antigen-specific T helper 1 response in a type I interferon receptor-dependent manner with high tolerability and immunoreactivity (44). Snail shells can be innovated into a skeletal health supplement since snail shells are rich in calcium and magnesium (30) which maintain the integrity of the bone (45). Looking ahead, the rich calcium carbonate in snail shells may also be incorporated with other compounds, such as tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate and curcumin (46) to create a more potent drug that can overcome cancer drug resistance and reverse tumor immunosuppression. Interestingly, Huang et al. (35) also mentioned the usage of calcium carbonate nanoparticles in cancer imaging, further highlighting the potential of rice snail shells to be applied as a calcium carbonate source since it has good bioavailability (87-96%).
5. Discussions
According to previous reports, it has been summarized that snail shells are a rich source of calcium and magnesium. Calcium is a vital element that is needed by the body to function and is only taken by the body through dietary sources (Figure 1). Both calcium and magnesium also play a vital role in the mineralization of the skeleton and possess a broad range of functions (47) such as anti-cancer activity. Previous mice study also suggested that dietary intake rich in calcium could help to reduce colon cancer (48). A recent meta-analysis study indicated that higher dietary calcium intake could lower esophageal cancer risks (9). The latest study found that snails contain CaCO3 crystals in their shell with diverse shell surface functional groups (Figure 1) (8). Calcium carbonate has been investigated as a cancer imaging system compartment and as a tailored medicine or gene delivery technique for malignant tissues and cells (34, 35). CaCO3 is also one of the essential components for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite where hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are used for cancer treatment (Figure 1). Hydroxyapatite inhibited cancer mainly through the translation and phosphorylation processes of cancer cells (28, 29). The presence of myristic acid in the rice snail shells exhibited therapeutic potential for cancer by inhibiting the inflammation/autophagy pathways in cancer cells (42). On the other hand, the biological properties of chitin and chitosan may contribute to the diagnosis and therapy of cancer (49).
Overall, this opinion proposes that snail shells have promising potential to help reduce cancer concerns (Figure 1). However, this is only an exploratory opinion at the moment, so large in vivo and in vitro trials will be needed to conclude that snail shells have anti-cancerous properties.
