Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are key elements involved in various physiological and pathological processes including cancer. Several GAG-based drugs have been developed showing significant results and potential use as cancer therapeutics. We previously reported that alginate sulfate (AlgSulf), a GAG-mimetic, reduces the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells. In this study, we evaluated the preferential effect of AlgSulf on tumorigenic and nontumorigenic mammary epithelial cells in 2D, 3D, and coculture conditions. AlgSulf were synthesized with different degrees of sulfation (DSs) varying from 0 to 2.7 and used at 100 µg/mL on HMT-3522 S1 (S1) nontumorigenic mammary epithelial cells and their tumorigenic counterparts HMT-3522 T4–2 (T4–2) cells. The anti-tumor properties of AlgSulf were assessed using trypan blue and bromodeoxyuridine proliferation (BrdU) assays, immunofluorescence staining and transwell invasion assay. Binding of insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF) to sulfated substrates was measured using QCM-D and ELISA. In 2D, the cell growth rate of cells treated with AlgSulf was consistently lower compared to untreated controls (p
