Signal Transduction
The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.

Tomatoes, tomato-based products, lycopene, and cancer: review of the epidemiologic literature. (1/2345)

The epidemiologic literature in the English language regarding intake of tomatoes and tomato-based products and blood lycopene (a compound derived predominantly from tomatoes) level in relation to the risk of various cancers was reviewed. Among 72 studies identified, 57 reported inverse associations between tomato intake or blood lycopene level and the risk of cancer at a defined anatomic site; 35 of these inverse associations were statistically significant. No study indicated that higher tomato consumption or blood lycopene level statistically significantly increased the risk of cancer at any of the investigated sites. About half of the relative risks for comparisons of high with low intakes or levels for tomatoes or lycopene were approximately 0.6 or lower. The evidence for a benefit was strongest for cancers of the prostate, lung, and stomach. Data were also suggestive of a benefit for cancers of the pancreas, colon and rectum, esophagus, oral cavity, breast, and cervix. Because the data are from observational studies, a cause-effect relationship cannot be established definitively. However, the consistency of the results across numerous studies in diverse populations, for case-control and prospective studies, and for dietary-based and blood-based investigations argues against bias or confounding as the explanation for these findings. Lycopene may account for or contribute to these benefits, but this possibility is not yet proven and requires further study. Numerous other potentially beneficial compounds are present in tomatoes, and, conceivably, complex interactions among multiple components may contribute to the anticancer properties of tomatoes. The consistently lower risk of cancer for a variety of anatomic sites that is associated with higher consumption of tomatoes and tomato-based products adds further support for current dietary recommendations to increase fruit and vegetable consumption.  (+info)

Protective alterations in phase 1 and 2 metabolism of aflatoxin B1 by oltipraz in residents of Qidong, People's Republic of China. (2/2345)

BACKGROUND: Residents of Qidong, People's Republic of China, are at high risk for development of hepatocellular carcinoma, in part due to consumption of foods contaminated with aflatoxins, which require metabolic activation to become carcinogenic. In a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind phase IIa chemoprevention trial, we tested oltipraz, an antischistosomal drug that has been shown to be a potent and effective inhibitor of aflatoxin-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in animal models. METHODS: In 1995, 234 adults from Qidong were enrolled. Healthy eligible individuals were randomly assigned to receive by mouth 125 mg oltipraz daily, 500 mg oltipraz weekly, or a placebo. Sequential immunoaffinity chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry or to fluorescence detection were used to identify and quantify phase 1 and phase 2 metabolites of aflatoxin B1 in the urine of study participants. Reported P values are two-sided. RESULTS: One month of weekly administration of 500 mg oltipraz led to a 51% decrease in median levels of the phase 1 metabolite aflatoxin M1 excreted in urine compared with administration of a placebo (P = .030), but it had no effect on levels of a phase 2 metabolite, aflatoxin-mercapturic acid (P = .871). By contrast, daily intervention with 125 mg oltipraz led to a 2.6-fold increase in median aflatoxin-mercapturic acid excretion (P = .017) but had no effect on excreted aflatoxin M1 levels (P = .682). CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent, high-dose oltipraz inhibited phase 1 activation of aflatoxins, and sustained low-dose oltipraz increased phase 2 conjugation of aflatoxin, yielding higher levels of aflatoxin-mercapturic acid. While both mechanisms can contribute to protection, this study highlights the feasibility of inducing phase 2 enzymes as a chemopreventive strategy in humans.  (+info)

Influence of tangeretin on tamoxifen's therapeutic benefit in mammary cancer. (3/2345)

BACKGROUND: Tamoxifen and the citrus flavonoid tangeretin exhibit similar inhibitory effects on the growth and invasive properties of human mammary cancer cells in vitro; furthermore, the two agents have displayed additive effects in vitro. In this study, we examined whether tangeretin would enhance tamoxifen's therapeutic benefit in vivo. METHODS: Female nude mice (n = 80) were inoculated subcutaneously with human MCF-7/6 mammary adenocarcinoma cells. Groups of 20 mice were treated orally by adding the following substances to their drinking water: tamoxifen (3 x 10(-5) M), tangeretin (1 x 10(-4) M), tamoxifen plus tangeretin (3 x 10(-5) M plus 1 x 10(-4) M), or solvent. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Oral treatment of mice with tamoxifen resulted in a statistically significant inhibition of tumor growth compared with solvent treatment (two-sided P = .001). Treatment with tangeretin did not inhibit tumor growth, and addition of this compound to drinking water with tamoxifen completely neutralized tamoxifen's inhibitory effect. The median survival time of tumor-bearing mice treated with tamoxifen plus tangeretin was reduced in comparison with that of mice treated with tamoxifen alone (14 versus 56 weeks; two-sided P = .002). Tangeretin (1 x 10(-6) M or higher) inhibited the cytolytic effect of murine natural killer cells on MCF-7/6 cells in vitro, which may explain why tamoxifen-induced inhibition of tumor growth in mice is abolished when tangeretin is present in drinking water. IMPLICATIONS: We describe an in vivo model to study potential interference of dietary compounds, such as flavonoids, with tamoxifen, which could lead to reduced efficacy of adjuvant therapy. In our study, the tumor growth-inhibiting effect of oral tamoxifen was reversed upon addition of tangeretin to the diet. Our data argue against excessive consumption of tangeretin-added products and supplements by patients with mammary cancer during tamoxifen treatment.  (+info)

Cyclin D1 proteolysis: a retinoid chemoprevention signal in normal, immortalized, and transformed human bronchial epithelial cells. (4/2345)

BACKGROUND: Retinoids (derivatives of vitamin A) are reported to reduce the occurrence of some second primary cancers, including aerodigestive tract tumors. In contrast, beta-carotene does not reduce the occurrence of primary aerodigestive tract cancers. Mechanisms explaining these effective retinoid and ineffective carotenoid chemoprevention results are poorly defined. Recently, the all-trans-retinoic acid (RA)-induced proteolysis of cyclin D1 that leads to the arrest of cells in G1 phase of the cell cycle was described in human bronchial epithelial cells and is a promising candidate for such a mechanism. In this study, we have investigated this proteolysis as a common signal used by carotenoids or receptor-selective and receptor-nonselective retinoids. METHODS: We treated cultured normal human bronchial epithelial cells, immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B), and transformed human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2BNNK) with receptor-selective or receptor-nonselective retinoids or with carotenoids and studied the effects on cell proliferation by means of tritiated thymidine incorporation and on cyclin D1 expression by means of immunoblot analysis. We also examined whether calpain inhibitor I, an inhibitor of the 26S proteasome degradation pathway, affected the decline (i.e., proteolysis) of cyclin D1. RESULTS: Receptor-nonselective retinoids were superior to the carotenoids studied in mediating the decline in cyclin D1 expression and in suppressing the growth of bronchial epithelial cells. Retinoids that activated retinoic acid receptor beta or retinoid X receptor pathways preferentially led to a decrease in the amount of cyclin D1 protein and a corresponding decline in growth. The retinoid-mediated degradation of cyclin D1 was blocked by cotreatment with calpain inhibitor I. CONCLUSIONS: Retinoid-dependent cyclin D1 proteolysis is a common chemoprevention signal in normal and neoplastic human bronchial epithelial cells. In contrast, carotenoids did not affect cyclin D1 expression. Thus, the degradation of cyclin D1 is a candidate intermediate marker for effective retinoid-mediated cancer chemoprevention in the aerodigestive tract.  (+info)

Hormonal prevention of breast cancer: mimicking the protective effect of pregnancy. (5/2345)

Full term pregnancy early in life is the most effective natural protection against breast cancer in women. Rats treated with chemical carcinogen are similarly protected by a previous pregnancy from mammary carcinogenesis. Proliferation and differentiation of the mammary gland does not explain this phenomenon, as shown by the relative ineffectiveness of perphenazine, a potent mitogenic and differentiating agent. Here, we show that short term treatment of nulliparous rats with pregnancy levels of estradiol 17beta and progesterone has high efficacy in protecting them from chemical carcinogen induced mammary cancers. Because the mammary gland is exposed to the highest physiological concentrations of estradiol and progesterone during full term pregnancy, it is these elevated levels of hormones that likely induce protection from mammary cancer. Thus, it appears possible to mimic the protective effects of pregnancy against breast cancer in nulliparous rats by short term specific hormonal intervention.  (+info)

Inhibition of aberrant proliferation and induction of apoptosis in HER-2/neu oncogene transformed human mammary epithelial cells by N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide. (6/2345)

Epithelial cells from non-cancerous mammary tissue in response to exposure to chemical carcinogens or transfection with oncogenes exhibit hyperproliferation and hyperplasia prior to the development of cancer. Aberrant proliferation may, therefore, represent a modifiable early occurring preneoplastic event that is susceptible to chemoprevention of carcinogenesis. The synthetic retinoid N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (HPR), has exhibited preventive efficacy in several in vitro and in vivo breast cancer models, and represents a promising chemopreventive compound for clinical trials. Clinically relevant biochemical and cellular mechanisms responsible for the chemopreventive effects of HPR, however, are not fully understood. Experiments were performed on preneoplastic human mammary epithelial 184-B5/HER cells derived from reduction mammoplasty and initiated for tumorigenic transformation by overexpression of HER-2/neu oncogene, to examine whether HPR inhibits aberrant proliferation of these cells and to identify the possible mechanism(s) responsible for the inhibitory effects of HPR. Continuous 7-day treatment with HPR produced a dose-dependent, reversible growth inhibition. Long-term (21 day) treatment of 184-B5/HER cells with HPR inhibited anchorage-dependent colony formation by approximately 80% (P < 0.01) relative to that observed in the solvent control. A 24 h treatment with cytostatic 400 nM HPR produced a 25% increase (P = 0.01) in G0/G1 phase, and a 36% decrease (P = 0.01) in S phase of the cell cycle. HPR treatment also induced a 10-fold increase (P = 0.02) in the sub-G0 (apoptotic) peak that was down-regulated in the presence of the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Treatment with HPR resulted in a 30% reduction of cellular immunoreactivity to tyrosine kinase, whereas immunoreactivity to p185HER remained essentially unaltered. HPR exposure resulted in time-dependent increase in cellular metabolism of the retinoid as evidenced by increased formation of the inert metabolite N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-retinamide (MPR) and progressive increase in apoptosis. Thus, HPR-induced inhibition of aberrant proliferation may be caused, in part, by its ability to inhibit HER-2/neu-mediated proliferative signal transduction, retard cell cycle progression and upregulate cellular apoptosis.  (+info)

Resveratrol suppresses cell transformation and induces apoptosis through a p53-dependent pathway. (7/2345)

Resveratrol, a plant constituent enriched in the skin of grapes, is one of the most promising agents for the prevention of cancer. However, the mechanism of the anti-carcinogenic activity of resveratrol is not well understood. Here we offer a possible explanation of its anti-cancer effect. Resveratrol suppresses tumor promoter-induced cell transformation and markedly induces apoptosis, transactivation of p53 activity and expression of p53 protein in the same cell line and at the same dosage. Also, resveratrol-induced apoptosis occurs only in cells expressing wild-type p53 (p53+/+), but not in p53-deficient (p53-/-) cells, while there is no difference in apoptosis induction between normal lymphoblasts and sphingomyelinase-deficient cell lines. These results demonstrate for the first time that resveratrol induces apoptosis through activation of p53 activity, suggesting that its anti-tumor activity may occur through the induction of apoptosis.  (+info)

Effect of retinoids on AOM-induced colon cancer in rats: modulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and aberrant crypt foci. (8/2345)

We have previously reported that the retinoids, 4-(hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR) and 9-cis-retinoic acid (RA) prevented azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon tumors and along with 2-(carboxyphenyl)retinamide (2-CPR) prevented aberrant crypt foci (ACF). In this study, we evaluated the effect of 2-CPR on AOM-induced colon tumors and the effect of the three retinoids on apoptosis and cell proliferation. Male F344 rats were administrated 15 mg/kg AOM at weeks 7 and 8 of age. 2-CPR (315 mg/kg) was administered in the diet starting either 1 week before or at week 12 after the first dose of AOM. The rats continued to receive the 2-CPR until killed at week 46. Unlike the demonstrated prevention of colon cancer by the other two retinoids, both dosing schedules of 2-CPR resulted in an approximate doubling of the yield of colon tumors. In adenomas, 2-CPR, 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA were equally effective in reducing mitotic activity, while only 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA but not 2-CPR enhanced apoptosis. When administered for only the 6 days prior to killing 4-HPR but not 2-CPR decreased the Mitotic Index and increased the Apoptotic Index in adenomas. In non-involved crypts, chronic exposure to 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA in contrast to 2-CPR reduced the Mitotic Index and enhanced the Apoptotic Index. In concurrence with our previous study, both 2-CPR and 4-HPR were very potent in preventing ACF when administered in the diet starting 1 week before the first dose of AOM and continuing for the 5 weeks of the study. Hence, unlike the other two retinoids, 2-CPR, although very potent in preventing ACF, enhanced rather than prevented AOM-induced colon cancer. Furthermore, our results suggest that the effect of 2-CPR on tumor yield is different from 4-HPR and 9-cis-RA because, unlike them, it does not enhance apoptosis.  (+info)

3,3-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is a naturally occurring indole, which is currently under investigation as a potential chemopreventive agent. The concentrations of DIM in plasma, liver, kidney, lung, heart, and brain tissues were determined following oral administration of two different formulations to mice (250 mg/kg). Mice were sacrificed periodically from 0 to 24 h after administration of either a crystalline or an absorption-enhanced formulation (Bio-Response-DIM; Indolplex) of DIM, and plasma and tissue concentrations were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (UV detection, 280 nm). A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed to characterize the pharmacokinetic properties of the two different formulations. The final model included parameters reflecting linear first-order absorption, systemic clearance, and distributional clearance in the remainder compartment, which were considered independent of formulation. All pharmacokinetic profiles from the two ...

Whole Health Source: A New Way to Soak Brown RiceWhole Health Source: A New Way to Soak Brown Rice
A number of possible preventive agents for cancers in different organs have been reported, however, little information is available regarding the effective agents for the development of gastric cancers. The rice components are known to be effective for the prevention of the development of cancers. Our group has demonstrated that fermented brown rice by Aspergillus Orzae (FBRA) has chemopreventive potentials in several organs. In this study, we investigated the modifying effects of FBRA exposed during the initiation or post-initiation phase of N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)-induced gastric carcinogenesis in rats. Five-week-old male ACI rats were divided into 7 groups. Groups 1-5 were given oral administration of MNNG (100 mg/l in distilled water) for 24 weeks starting at 6 weeks of age. Groups 2 and 3 were fed a diet containing 5 and 10% FBRA during the initiation phase, respectively, whereas groups 4 and 5 were fed these diets during the post-initiation phase. Group 6 was given a ...

3825 The isothiocyanate sulforaphane (SF) has received increasing interest of late as a promising chemopreventive agent in several model systems. As a natural product derived from cruciferous vegetables, SF has low toxicity, yet is able to regulate many factors important in tumorigenesis, including inflammation, cell cycle and apoptosis. Our current work is focused on determining whether SF is a good candidate for chemoprevention of UV-induced non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Although there have been two published studies using SF in long-term mouse tumorigenesis experiments, the issue of whether SF can protect against NMSC when used concurrently with UVB treatment has not been addressed. We have therefore treated female SKH-1 hairless immunocompetant mice, 20 per group, with either UVB alone, UVB+Acetone, UVB+1μmol SF or UVB+2.5μmol SF. Mice were treated topically three times a week with either vehicle or SF, one hour prior to treatment with UVB. The UVB dosage started at 0.9 kJ/m2 and ...

Despite the intensive efforts and substantial advances that have occurred through focusing on improving treatment, cancer is still a leading cause of death worldwide. Many have argued that this could be avoided by focusing on cancer prevention, which has now entered the arena of targeted therapies. During the process of identifying preventive agents, dietary phytochemicals have emerged as modulators of key cellular pathways. By molecular modeling of the interactions of targeted proteins with these chemopreventive agents, we have provided knowledge for a better understanding of how these preventive agents work. Such knowledge will help the translation to new clinical practice of preventive medicine.. Citation Information: Cancer Prev Res 2011;4(10 Suppl):CN07-02. ...

Introduction: Chronic inflammation is widely recognized as an underlying etiological factor in carcinogenesis; there is enough evidence to support the use of non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and more importantly, their chemically‐modified NO‐releasing prodrugs (NO‐NSAIDs) as promising chemopreventive agents. Metabolic activation of organic nitrate‐containing NO‐aspirins may lead to a cytotoxic activated linker (a quinone methide), raising safety concerns. Replacement of organic nitrates with N‐diazeniumdiolates as a second‐generation NONO‐NSAIDs allowed us to conduct a head‐to‐head comparison between NCX‐4016 (NO‐aspirin), CVM‐01 (NONO‐aspirin), and aspirin as analgesic, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐pyretic agents with no significant gastrointestinal toxicity.. Methods: a) Anti‐inflammatory: paw edema induced by intraplantar injection of 100 µL of 1% carrageenan, paw volumes measured up to the tibiotarsal joint immediately prior to ...

Antitumor B (ATB) is a Chinese herbal mixture of six plants. Previous studies have shown significant chemopreventive efficacy of ATB against human esophageal and lung cancers. We have recently developed a new mouse model for lung squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). In this study, lung SCC mouse model was characterized using small-animal imaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography). ATB decreased lung SCC significantly (3.1-fold; P , 0.05) and increased lung hyperplastic lesions by 2.4-fold (P , 0.05). This observation suggests that ATB can block hyperplasia from progression to SCC. ATB tissue distribution was determined using matrine as a marker chemical. We found that ATB is rapidly absorbed and then distributes to various tissues including the lung. These results indicate that ATB is a potent chemopreventive agent against the development of mouse lung SCCs.. ...

It has been demonstrated and confirmed that certain nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which inhibit cyclooxygenase and the synthesis of prostaglandins and other eicosanoids, can reduce the formation of both colon polyps and cancers in experimental animals given known carcinogens. Additionally, the results of several epidemiologic studies have suggested that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce the risk of colon polyp occurrence and/or colon cancer mortality. We have carried out a study to evaluate the methodology of the measurement of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in human colonic mucosa because its concentration may serve as a valuable intermediate marker of the pharmacological activity in Phase II studies of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as colon cancer preventive agents. We studied all aspects of the actual measurement of PGE2 including the extraction efficiency of the PGE2 from the mucosa, the precision of the assay and calculation of the PGE2 content in terms of milligrams of ...

Antiangiogenics have shown to be effective and safe anticancer agents in preclinical animal tumor models but have had mixed results in clinical trials with advanced disease. One possible explanation for the lack of efficacy in these clinical trials could be due to the bulky size of tumors in patients with stage III/IV disease. In theory, antiangiogenics would be predicted to be more effective in preventing smaller avascular tumors from activating the angiogenic switch and thus would be an ideal class of compounds for use in a chemopreventative setting. TM is a potent antiangiogenic compound that has completed numerous phase I/II trials for solid tumors. Results from these clinical trials showed that TM is very well tolerated with minimal adverse effects (6, 11-15). The attractive safety profile of TM suggests that it may be amendable to long-term use and thus be developed as a chemopreventative agent.. Recent work from our laboratory showed that TM significantly retards the development of ...

The overall hypothesis is that the combination of a low dose of the antiestrogen Raloxifene with omega-3 fatty acids will exert a synergistic breast cancer chemopreventive effect due to the crosstalk of their downstream cellular effects leading to decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis of premalignant mammary cells. Based on the investigators hypothesis that upregulation of functional estrogen receptors in the premalignant lesions is also responsible for the development of hormone independent tumors, the investigators postulate that the combination of antiestrogens and omega-3 fatty acids will reduce the development of both hormone-dependent and -independent tumors. At present, there are no known interventions able to decrease the development of hormone-independent tumors, which are more prevalent, more aggressive, leading to the patients demise. In addition, the investigators postulate that this approach will be safe since it will combine a lower and hence a less toxic dose of ...

Research in my laboratory focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of selenium in cancer chemoprevention and the role of reactive oxygen species in carcinogenesis. Selenium is an essential trance element for human health. Selenium deficiency is known to be linked to the risk of certain cancers. Recent clinical studies demonstrated that selenium is a promising chemopreventive agent for prostate and colon cancers. We are currently studying redox-mediated and epigenetic effects of selenium on cell cycle and apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells. We are interested in determining how selenium modulates intracellular redox state, DNA methylation, and histone protein modifications to regulate the expression of genes involved in protection against oxidative stress, tumor suppression, cell cycle, and apoptosis. We also study combinations of selenium with other dietary chemopreventive agents, DNA methylation inhibitors, and histone deacetylase inhibitors for maximizing cancer prevention and ...

The studys results suggest that the benefits of tamoxifen to prevent cancer can sufficiently compensate for its side effects in post-menopausal women under age 55 years who have an increased risk of developing breast cancer.. Research has shown that tamoxifen can protect against breast cancer for years after treatment ends, but identifying the group of women who can most benefit from the drug as a cancer preventive agent, without experiencing serious side effects, is a challenge. Side effects of the drug can include pulmonary embolism, endometrial cancer, deep vein thrombosis, and cataracts, as well as hot flashes and early menopause.. To investigate those women who would benefit the most from taking tamoxifen as a cancer preventive drug, Peter Alperin, MD, of Archimedes Inc. in San Francisco, and his colleagues used a mathematical model to simulate a post-menopausal population under age 55 years in a virtual clinical trial comparing tamoxifen treatment with no treatment.

In recent years, naturally occurring antioxidant compounds present in the diet and beverages consumed by humans have gained considerable attention as cancer chemopreventive agents (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) . Resveratrol, a polyphenolic compound present in grapes, nuts, fruits, and red wine, is a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive properties (7 , 8 , 10, 11, 12, 13 , 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42) .

The molecular mechanism(s) by which resveratrol imparts cancer chemopreventive properties is not well defined. The present study was designed to define the mechanism(s) of the antiproliferative effects of resveratrol because it may result in the design of novel approaches for the management of cancer.

Interest in potential cancer chemopreventive and therapeutic properties of dietary ingredients, which are generally more tolerable in the human body ( 15), has increased in recent years, especially for the cancers that usually do not respond well to currently available therapies ( 17). Therefore, it is not surprising that chemoprevention of colon cancer, the leading cancer-related death in Western countries, is becoming more attractive. One of the dietary ingredients that possess anti-inflammatory and/or antioxidant properties is curcumin. Epidemiologic data suggest that curcumin may be responsible for the lower colon cancer rate in India and Southeast Asia ( 39). Based on that and its long history of consumption without any adverse health effects, curcumin is considered to be a safe chemopreventative agent ( 15).. Although it was suggested previously that curcumin-induced apoptosis is mediated through the impairment of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway ( 40), the exact mechanism was not fully ...

NANObits: Nanoparticles Open Door to Cancer PreventionNANObits: Nanoparticles Open Door to Cancer Prevention
Perhaps the best way to fight cancer is to prevent it from developing in the first place, and based on newly published research from investigators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, nanoparticles may be able to make cancer chemoprevention a reality. Using nanoparticles made of a biocompatible polymer, the investigators were able to encapsulate a molecule isolated from green tea that triggers apoptosis and inhibits angiogenesis, two key biochemical events that could prevent cancer. Hasan Mukhtar, Ph.D., led the team that published its results in the journal Cancer Research. One of the chief issues in chemoprevention-the use of biologically active molecules to thwart cancer before it gains a foothold in the body-is that any such agents must be exceedingly safe, since it is likely that a person at risk for cancer would need to take the chemopreventive agent on a regular basis for a long time. Because of this requirement, many investigators have been screening naturally occuring molecules for ...

Diindolylmethane Derivatives as Apoptosis Inductors in L5178y CellsDiindolylmethane Derivatives as Apoptosis Inductors in L5178y Cells
VELASCO-BEJARANO, Benjamín et al. Diindolylmethane Derivatives as Apoptosis Inductors in L5178y Cells. J. Mex. Chem. Soc [online]. 2008, vol.52, n.3, pp.224-228. ISSN 1870-249X.. Cell growth and division are highly regulated processes, although a notable exception is provided by the cancer cell, which arises as a variant that has lost the usual proliferation control pathways. Consequently, there is growing interest in the search for antitu-moral substances with high efficacy, low toxicity, and minimum side effects. In this sense, we synthesize eight diindolylmethane derivatives and the in vitro antitumor activity against murine L5178Y lymphoma cells was assessed. The preliminary results showed that the substituent and its position on the phenyl group were important for its potency against the lymphoma cells tested. Compound 3a was the most active compound with 93 % cell grown inhibition and 71.04% of apoptosis.. Palabras clave : DIM derivatives; apoptosis; cytotoxic effects; L5178Y cells. ...

B144 Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common complication of hepatitis C cirrhosis. Because of immigration from countries with a high prevalence of hepatitis B, as well as the increasing age of Americans who contracted hepatitis C during the 1960s through 1980s, the incidence of HCC is increasing in the United States, and is projected to double between 2000 and 2010. At present, there is no effective chemopreventive agent for HCC. Epidemiologic studies have reported an increased risk for HCC among males and in patients with cirrhosis, older age and elevated serum level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). SAMe has been used as a drug in Italy and other European countries for more than 20 years. It has an excellent safety profile. In the body, SAMe is a component of the methionine cycle and is found in all cells. Inactivation of methionine adenosyl transferase in cirrhosis reduces the conversion of methionine into SAMe. The resulting reduction in SAMe level may contribute to decreased synthesis of ...

Turmeric is the most studied herb with coumarins. A study evaluated the chemopreventative effects of curcumin, the most active coumarin, on radiation- induced tumors in rat mammary glands. One control group was fed a basic diet while the other control group was fed a diet containing 1% curcumin. The control group fed curcumin had 28% reduction in tumors while 84% of the other group developed mammary tumors. Other studies also show that curcumin inhibits chemically-induced carcinogenesis of the skin, colon, and stomach. ...

Chronic inflammation and nuclear factor-kappa B (NFkappaB) have been implicated in prostate cancer development; thus, dietary factors that inhibit NFkappaB may serve as effective chemo-preventative agents. Prostate cancer risk is significantly lower in Asian countries compared to the United States, which has prompted interest in the potential chemopreventative action of Asian dietary components such as soy and green tea. This study examined the effects of dietary soy and tea on NFkappaB activation and inflammation in vivo using a hormone-induced rat model for prostate cancer. Male Noble rats implanted with estradiol and testosterone were divided into 4 dietary groups: control, soy, tea, or soy+tea. NFkappaB activation and inflammatory cytokines were measured post implantation. The combination of soy and tea suppressed NFkappaB p50 binding activity and protein levels via induction of IkappaBalpha. Soy and tea also decreased prostate inflammatory infiltration, increased Bax/BcL2 ratio and ...

Flavones inhibit breast cancer proliferation through the Akt/FOXO3a signaling pathway | BMC Cancer | Full TextFlavones inhibit breast cancer proliferation through the Akt/FOXO3a signaling pathway | BMC Cancer | Full Text
Despite recent advances in medicinal chemistry, intrinsic and acquired resistance to chemotherapy treatments and the possibility of relapse present drawbacks in the treatment of breast cancer [39]. Because of the clear risks posed by chemotherapy, researchers worldwide have started searching for natural products that have better anti-carcinogenic activity without side effects. In addition, we believe that long chemotherapy treatment weakens the immunological defense system of the body and leaves patients susceptible to other infections and diseases. Radiation therapy is another treatment to combat cancer but also shows several potentially harmful side effects including weakened immune system and the potential to induce carcinogenesis itself. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop chemoprevention approaches for the prevention of cancer. Chemoprevention is an important function area of oncology that focuses on the prevention of cancer using natural or synthetic agents. Recently, natural ...

Oxygen therapy - The MarketOxygen therapy - The Market
Taking oxygen as a vitamin O supplement is a practice not endorsed by any major medical organization. There appears to be two types of vitamin O products available on the market. The first is an expensive health supplement that is composed largely of salt water and stabilized or aerobic oxygen, and is marketed under many different brand names. Companies, such as RGarden have advertised vitamin O (without germanium) as a purported cure or preventive agent for serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and lung disease. It has also been claimed that when taken by mouth, vitamin O supplements may enrich the bloodstream with supplemental oxygen. The second vitamin O product currently available contains the element germanium, which when synthetically derived has been said to be potentially nontoxic and safe at high doses. The various health claims for use of vitamin O have not been substantiated with scientific evidence. However, numerous product testimonials mention the effects of vitamin ...

1) Great natural anti-inflammatory. Acay berries contain powerful antioxidants known as tannins, which are famous for their impressive anti-inflammatory activity. Research has revealed high inflammation levels often accompany chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Treating inflammation is a first step towards the prevention of chronic illness.. 2) Anti-carcinogenic activity. Carcinogens are natural or synthetic (man-made) substances that damage normal, healthy cells and cause them to turn into cancer cells. Ellagic acid, a potent compound found in the acay berry, prevents certain carcinogens such as nitrosamines from food from binding to our DNA and causing cancerous formations. Regular consumption of the berries thus constitutes an important factor in the prevention of certain forms of cancer.. 3) Promotes cardiovascular health.

Let Start Slim Today: Hidden Health Benefits of 14 Holiday SuperfoodsLet Start Slim Today: Hidden Health Benefits of 14 Holiday Superfoods
11. Garlic, For centuries garlic has been used as natural medicine to prevent or treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. Multiple studies published throughout the last 10 years confirm that using small amounts of herbs and spices in recipes can yield big health benefits. A review of garlics impact on heart health found that this flavorful herb may help to improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels and aid in blood clotting. Other studies have showed that consuming garlic may help protect against stomach and colorectal cancers. You can reap garlics health benefits by chopping it finely to release allinase, an enzyme that aids in the formation of garlics cancer-protective compounds. Since cooking stops the activity of this beneficial enzyme, its best to let crushed garlic stand for 10 minutes after chopping, before adding it to heat - this prevents total loss of its anti-carcinogenic activity ...

Cell motility involves metastasis suppressors and other regulators that play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), found in dietary cruciferous vegetables, has been found to exhibit antitumor properties and therefore is of special interest for the development of chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agent for human cancers. Here, we report that in addition to its function as an anticancer agent, and PEITC can inhibit migration and invasion through the extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2), protein kinase C (PKC) and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathways in human gastric cells. The results from wound healing and Boyden chamber assays (migration and invasion) assay indicated that PEITC exhibited an inhibitory effect on the migration and invasion of AGS cells. Results from Western blotting examination demonstrated that PEITC exerted an inhibitory effect on the ERK1/2, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 7 (MKK7), MAP ...

(jimmunol.org)
  • Besides anticarcinogenic effects, silymarin also exerts anti-inflammatory action in vivo ( 20 ). (jimmunol.org)
  • Because silymarin exhibits anticarcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and growth-modulatory effects, much as TNF does, we hypothesized that these effects of silymarin are mediated through suppression of NF-κB activation, the mediator of many of the TNF effects. (jimmunol.org)
