Cervical cancer in Vitamin K Points of View

Kyle J. Norton(Draft Article)

According to the American Cancer Society's, in 2014, 12,360 new cases of invasive cervical cancer will be diagnosed with the death of  4,020 patients. The risk of cervical cancer is higher in Hispanic women followed by African-Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and whites(1).
Vitamin K(K1, phylloquinone; K2, menaquinones), is a fat soluble vitamin, found abundantly in leafy green vegetables, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts, etc. It is best known for promotion of coagulation and bone health.

Vitamin K3 (2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone), also known as menadione, found effectively in inhibition of the profileration of human cervical epithelial cancer cells (HeLa), through binding of tubulin, a small family of globular proteins, including α-tubulin and β-tubulin posible with function of cell division and the movement of materials within cells(1)(2). Other synthetic vitamin K analogue, 2-(2-mercaptoethanol)-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone or compound 5 (Cpd 5) found effectively inhibited tumors through arrested cell cycle progression at both G1 and G2-M(3). In cervical carcinoma SiHa cells, Vitamin K3 (VK3)exerted its anti proliferative effects through inhibited cyclin expression via cell cycle arrest and transition of the aphidicolin-synchronised SiHa cells(4)and induced cytotoxicity in human cervical-carcinoma tsgh8302 cells, through exhibited chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation(5).

Taking altogether, synthetic Vitamin K and its analogue have shown to reduced risk of and treatment of cervical cancer through cell cycle arrest and regulation of cancer cell proliferation. Further studies with large sample size and multi center studies to validate the effectiveness are necessary. Overdoses can induce symptoms of Skin rash,  Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, Anemia, etc. Please make sure you follow the guideline of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies.
