Researchers may have found a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of breast cancer with no side effects, according to studies.
Breast cancer is a medical condition associated with abnormal cell growth in the breast tissue due to the alternation of cell DNA.
Most cases of the breast cancer (malignant breast neoplasm) start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the tissues of the breast either from the milk ducts (Ductal carcinoma) or the lobules (Lobular carcinoma) that supply the ducts with milk.
At the early stage of breast cancer, most patients experience the forming of lumps or modules on the breast or nearby breast tissue.
However, at the later stage, patients may experience symptoms of swelling of all or part of a breast, breast or nipple pain, nipple retraction and large lumps on the breast.
Some invasive breast cancer in this stage can also induce secondary metastasis through the blood and fluids circulation.
According to the statistic, women diagnosed with breast cancer at stage 0 and 1 have the 5 years of the survival rate of 100%. In 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.
Therefore self-examination every month may be important to all women who are classified into the higher prevalent risk group.
The causes of breast cancer are unknown. Epidemiological studies suggested that age, gender, race, family history and menstrual, l and reproductive history are some of the prevalent risk factors for breast cancer.
Some researchers suggested that risk breast cancer in women who carry the mutated genes BRCA1 and 2 have 60% for the development of breast cancer before the age of 90.
Dithiolthiones are phytochemicals in the class of Organosulfides, found abundantly in cruciferous vegetables, garden sorrel, horseradish, etc.
With an aim to find a natural ingredient for the treatment of breast cancer, researchers at the University of Michigan evaluated sulforaphane, a natural compound derived from broccoli/broccoli sprouts, efficacy in inhibiting breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) in tumor growth upon cell reimplantation in secondary mice and human breast cancer cell line.
Sulforaphane injection of (1-5 micromol/L) decreased the cancer cells by 65% to 80% in human breast cancer cells and reduced the size and number of primary mammospheres by 8- to 125-fold and 45% to 75% in tested mice, respectively.
Daily injection with 50 mg/kg sulforaphane for 2 weeks reduced breast cancer cell in the human cell line by >50%.
Sulforaphane eliminated breast CSCs in vivo, and in the secondary mice.
Furthermore, by assessing the effect of SFN alone and in combination with a chemotherapeutic agent, gemcitabine, on the proliferative potential of MCF-7 cells, researchers also found that SFN shows cytotoxic effects on MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner via an apoptotic mode of cell death.
A combinational treatment of SFN and gemcitabine on MCF-7 cells resulted in growth inhibition in a synergistic manner with a combination index.
The efficacy of SFN against MCF-7 was attributed to the inhibition associated with the anti-apoptotic and inflammatory gene, in a time-dependent manner, without causing harm to the nearby healthy cells.
Taken altogether, phytochemical sulforaphane may be considered a bioactive compound for the prevention and combined with primary therapy for the treatment of breast cancer.

Phytochemical Indole-3-carbinol, the Potent Anti Prostate Cancer Plant Base Compound
Scientists may have found a bioactive compound isolated from the cruciferous vegetable for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer with no side effects, according to studies.
Indole-3-carbinol is a phytochemical in the class of Indoles, by the breaking down of the glucosinolate glucobrassicin, found abundantly in cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, rutabaga, mustard greens, broccoli, etc.
Prostate cancer is a medical and chronic condition in which the cells of the prostate has become cancerous due to the alternation of the cells DNA.
Most prostate cancers are slow growing and enlarged prostate and prostate cancer may be detected during the Physical (rectum) exams.
Primary prostate cancer normally starts from the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the prostate tissue and gradually spread to the deeper part of the prostate.
At the early stage, patients may not experience any symptoms, However, at the advanced stage, prostate cancer can induce symptoms of blood in the urine, frequent urination and urinary difficulty.
The cancer cells at this stage can also travel a distance away from the prostate to invade other healthy tissue and organ, leading secondary metastasis tumors.
According to the statistic, the 5-year survival rate for local and regional (stage 0 and 1) stages of prostate cancer is nearly 100%.
Therefore, men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer due to family history and increase in age and inherited gene changes should have their prostate gland checked annually.
Believe it or not, more than 80% of prostate cancers are diagnosed in men who are 65 or older.
Dr. Roberto Fabiani, the lead scientist at the University of Perugia suggested that people who follow the Western diet pattern are at increased risk of prostate cancer onset.
According to the results from the review of 12 observational studies included in the meta-analysis which identified a “Healthy pattern” and a “Western pattern”, he said, "The Healthy pattern was not related to PC risk (OR = 0.96; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.88–1.04) while the Western pattern significantly increased it (OR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.08–1.65)".
In other words, by a change of diet from high in saturated and trans fat, red meat and processed foods to diet high in fruits and vegetables and whole grain, the risk of prostate cancer can be reversed.
In order to reaffirm the epidemiological evidence which suggested that intake of cruciferous vegetable intake is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer, researchers at the Oregon State University, Corvallis assessed the bioactive compound indole-3-carbinol against the onset of prostate cancer.
In vitro and in vivo. application of indole-3-carbinol inhibit prostate cancer by both blocking initiation and suppressing prostate cancer progression. these results were associated with the induction of phases I and II detoxification pathways.
Injection of indole-3-carbinol inhibited the cell signaling pathways associated with cancer cells proliferation and survival.
Recently, indole-3-carbinol derivatives induced cancer cytotoxicity through induction of free radical expression.
In the laboratory, I3C can induce G1 cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.
Futhermore, I3C and its derivative dimeric product 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) inhibited the genes associated with the control of cell cycle, cell proliferation, signal transduction, and other cellular processes in prostate cancer cell lines.
Dr. Sarkar FH, the lead scientist, wrote in the final report of the experiment, "Because there is no effective treatment strategy for hormone-dependent and, most importantly, hormone-independent and metastatic prostate cancer, our strategies to sensitize prostate cancer cells to a chemotherapeutic agent by I3C and DIM is a novel breakthrough that could be used for devising novel therapies for prostate cancer".
More importantly, Wayne State University School of Medicine, in the study to confirm that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides phytochemicals, launched an investigation to examine the anticancer effect of indole-3-carbinol (I3C).
According to the study, I3C inhibits the growth of PC-3 prostate cancer cells
* through the Induction of G1 cell cycle arrest.
* Promoted the expression of regulators associated with cell cycle progression at G1 and S phase and proteins associated with cancer cell apoptosis.
* Inhibited proteins associated with the progression of cell cycle division
* Inhibited protein in the promotion of proteins associated with cancer cell cycle division.
Taken altogether, the plant base Indole-3-carbinol isolated from the cruciferous vegetable may be used for the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer with no side effects.

Ginger, the Natural Anti Oxidative Stress Functional Food
Intake one or 2 slices of ginger daily and regularly may have a strong effect in stimulating the production of antioxidant enzymes in the body against the onset of oxidative stress, scientists found.
Oxidative stress is a result of the overexpression of free radicals, compared to the levels of antioxidant in the body.
Free radicals are a highly reactive and unstable atom with the unpaired electron on the outer ring of the molecules, therefore, in order to become stable, they must donate or steal an electron from other stable molecules, leading to the chain activity that can not be stopped until they are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
There are many factors associated with the production of free radicals, including the food we eat, the medicines we take, the air we breathe and the water we drink.
In other words, free radical can be generated by alcohol, tobacco smoke, pesticides, and air pollutants.
Antioxidants are stable atoms which inhibit oxidation caused by free radicals.
Some researchers suggested the prolonged presence of oxidative stress can cause damage to the cells, proteins, and alteration of DNA, leading to chronic diseases.
Dr. Eiichiro Ichiishi and colleagues in the concern of the effects of oxidative stress on the risks of diseases showed that oxidative stress not only has a strong implication in the development of diseases but also affects the outcome throughout the course of organ transplantation.
Additionally, the team wrote, "Kidney ischemia/reperfusion injury emerges in various clinical settings as a great problem complicating the course and outcome".
"Xeroderma pigmentosum group A (XPA) is a genetic disorder in DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER) with severe neurological disorders, in which oxidative stress and disturbed melatonin metabolism may be involved".
"Renal transplantation has been considered the best therapeutic option for end-stage renal disease,...determine the effect of renal transplantation on the evolution of oxidative DNA status,".
"Cigarette smoking is the most important risk factor for the development or deterioration of Graves' ophthalmopathy. Smoke-induced increased generation of reactive oxygen species may be involved".
These results indicated the important roles of antioxidants which inhibited the oxidative stress before they can cause a wide range of damage to the human body.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) or ginger root, the second superfood used for thousands of years by mankind, is the genus Zingiber, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to Tamil.
The root has been used in traditional and Chinese medicine to treat dyspepsia, gastroparesis, constipation, edema, difficult urination, colic, etc.
With an aim to find the best possible antioxidative stress natural ingredient or whole food, researchers examined the protective effects of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) extract on IL-1β-mediated oxidative stress and mitochondrial apoptosis in C28I2 human chondrocytes.
The cells were pretreated with 5 and 25 μg/mL ginger extract for 24 h, followed by incubation with IL-1β (10 ng/mL) for 24 h.
At the and of the study, ginger extract demonstrated a significant effect in the inhibition of IL-1β-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and lipid peroxidation.
Ginger extract pretreatment also remarkably increased the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes.
The elevated levels of the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and caspase-3 involved cells apoptosis were also normalized by the application of ginger extract.
The finding clearly indicated ginger extract could considerably reduce IL-1β-induced oxidative stress and consequent mitochondrial apoptosis as the major mechanisms of chondrocyte cell death and the efficacy was attributed to its antioxidant activity.
In pulmonary abnormalities tested mice induced by chronic ethanol exposure, researchers evaluated whether ginger extract mitigated pulmonary abnormalities induced by ethanol in rats.
The study included male Wistar rats divided into the control group, the ethanol group, and the ethanol plus ginger extract group.
Ethanol group after six-week of treatment increased the proliferation of lung cells, and induced fibrosis, inflammation, and leukocyte infiltration.
The levels of -hydroxydeoxyguanosine, NADPH oxidase, and oxidized low-density lipoprotein were also found to increase substantially in the ethanol-treated group.
Application of ginger extract normalized such changes by inhibiting the oxidative DNA damage and oxidative stress.
Taken altogether, ginger extract may be considered a natural antioxidative stress ingredient by enhancing the production of antioxidants and protecting the body against inflammation.

Phytochemical Piperine, the Bioactive Compound May Process Anti Asthmatic Potency, Scientists Suggest
Scientists may have found a natural compound for the prevention and treatment of asthma with no side effects, according to the studies.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the airway of the lung with recurring symptoms, such as wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.
According to the statistics, in Canada, the number of people with asthma continues to grow. One in 12 people or 8% of the population had asthma in 2009, compared with 1 in 14 (about 20 million, or 7%) in 2001.
Asthma attacks had affected over 53% of people with asthma, compared to 57% in children in 2008.
Signs and symptoms of asthma can be triggered by airborne substances, such as pollen, dust mites, mold spores, pet dander or particles of cockroach waste. Respiratory infections, such as the common cold also be found to be the major contribution of asthma in children.
Although, researchers do not know why? people with the same health conditions in the same family, some are susceptible to the onset of asthma, while others do not. However, researchers do know, family history, race, being obese or obese, having another allergic disease, being a smoker, long-term exposure to smoking and irritable chemicals are at the increased risk of asthma development.
Dr. Mahdi Bijanzadeh, the lead scientist in the summary of " An understanding of the genetic basis of asthma" wrote, in the "Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease in developed nations and its prevalence has increased in the world over the last 25 years. It is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. Asthma is caused by multiple interacting genes, some having a protective effect and others contributing to the disease pathogenesis, with each gene having its own tendency to be influenced by the environment".
These results firmly suggested that people inherited a mutated gene from their parent may also be at a higher risk of the disease.
According to Medscape, the 10 genes (IL1RL1/IL18, TSLP, IL33, SMAD3, HLA-DQ, ORMDL3, IL2RB, SLC22A5, IL13, and RORA), 6 of which were confirmed by EVE investigators (IL1RL1/IL18, TSLP, IL33, SMAD3, HLA-DQ and ORMDL3).{Re9} 10 genes have been identified with strong association with the onset of asthma.
Piperine is a phytochemical alkaloid in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in white and black pepper, long pepper, etc.
On finding a natural bioactive compound or whole food for the treatment of asthma, researchers at the JSS College of Pharmacy, Rocklands, examined the different plant extracts and phytoconstituents with the proven anti-asthmatic property.
Piper Longum L. Extract (20% Piperine) demonstrated a significant effect against human pathogens causing upper respiratory infection namely Haemophilus influenza, Streptococcus pneumonia, Streptococcus pyrogen, and Staphylococcus aureus.
Furthermore, researchers examined the effects of increasing levels of antioxidant in asthmatic patients against continued oxidative stress to determine the hypothesis of boosting the antioxidant defenses of asthma patient that could be beneficial as it may help thwart symptoms of lung disease and asthma.
The results of the experiment are astonishing.
Piper longum extracts at the same concentration of 20% piperine or piperine at 98% concentration, displayed a potent antioxidant activity by Nitric oxide radical inhibition activity method.
Dr. Nilani P, the lead scientist, after taking into account co and confounder, said, "Piper longum extract (20% Piperine),..... and piperine (98%) could be utilized in alternate anti-asthmatic therapy, since they play a vital role in scavenging Nitric oxide which could prevent the bronchial inflammation in asthmatic patients.".
The finding suggested that piperine processed anti-asthmatic property through its antioxidants and antibacterial activity.
Taken altogether, piperine may be considered a bioactive compound for the prevention and combined with the primary therapy for treatment of asthma, pending to the confirmation of large sample size and multicenter human study.

Phytochemical Allicin, the Potent Anti Liver Cancer Bioactive Compound, According to Scientists
Scientists may have found a natural compound for the prevention and treatment of liver cancer with no side effects, according to the studies.
Liver cancer is a condition caused by cell growth irregularly in the liver tissue.
Since the organ is a soft tissue with less nerve, most liver cancer patients are diagnosed in the later stage of cancer and do not experience any symptoms in the early stage.
At the advanced stage, liver cancer cells can travel a distance away to infect the healthy cells of other tissue and organs, leading secondary metastasis.
According to the statistic, liver cancer remains the fifth most common malignancy in men and the eighth in women worldwide. In Canada, 2,500 Canadians were diagnosed with liver cancer. The disease caused 1200 death in 2017.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common form of primary liver cancer.
Besides the most common symptoms associated with all cancers, liver cancer patients may experience symptoms of abdominal swelling, jaundice, and white, chalky stools.
Although aging, gender, ethnicity, other liver diseases, hepatitis viruses, obesity is considered one of the major risk factor associated with the onset of the disease.
Dr. Aleksandrova K, the lead author examined the obesity in the risk of liver cancer, said, "Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes is an increasingly recognized trigger for liver cancer in Western populations characterized by low prevalence of established risk factors for liver cancer such as viral hepatitis and hepatotoxin exposure".
And, "Recent evidence has implicated several molecular pathways in obesity-associated liver cancer. These include insulin resistance leading to increased levels of insulin and insulin-like growth factors, chronic inflammation, adipose tissue remodeling, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, and adipokine secretion, and altered gut microbiota".
Allicin is phytochemical containing sulfur in the class of organosulfur compound, found abundantly in onion and garlic.
With an aim to find a natural compound with no side effects for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which is the most prevalent type of liver cancer globally and ranks first among the cancer-related mortalities in Taiwan, researchers examined the modes of cell death mechanism induced by allicin, a major phytochemical of crushed garlic, in human hepatoma cells.
Allicin treatment was found to induce autophagic cell death in human HCC Hep G2 (p53(wild-type)) cells.
Furthermore, allicin induced apoptotic cell death through proteins associated with pro apoptosis
Moreover, allicin activates the reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction to induce cytotoxicity against the human HCC Hep 3B (p53(mutation)) cells without causing harms to the nearby healthy cells.
The finding strongly suggested that allicin protects the normal through its antioxidant activity without inducing inhibition of the overexpression of free radicals.
Additionally, allicin treatment induced apoptotic cell death through gene (p53) involved cell cycle arrest similar to that of Hep 3B cells.
Dr. Chu YL, the lead scientist after taking into account co and confounders, wrote, "allicin induced cell death in human hepatoma cells through either autophagy or apoptosis".
And, "(allicin) might be a potential novel complementary gene therapeutic agent for the treatment of apoptosis-resistant cancer cells".
Taken altogether, phytochemical allicin may be considered a bioactive compound for the prevention and combined with primary medicine for the treatment of liver cancer.

Manuka Honey, The Anti Antioxidants Functional Sweety
Honey may be the next pharmaceutical target to identify the single ingredient medicine for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress, some scientists suggested.
Oxidative stress is a result of an imbalance of the ratio of free radicals and antioxidants in the body.
Free radicals are highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron on the outer ring of the atom.
Due to its nature to become stable, free radicals readily to donate or steal an electron from other molecules, leading to the chain of domino's effect that can not be stopped until either the electrons are paired or inhibited by antioxidants.
This chain of reaction is the cause of oxidative stress, a condition is associated with either overexpression of free radicals or depletion of antioxidant enzymes produced by the host organs.
Overexpression of free radicals is known to cause damage in contributing to the etiology many chronic health problems such as cardiovascular and inflammatory disease, cataract, and cancer.
Antioxidants, on the other hand, are stable molecules with a unique function in the inhibition of oxidation.
Dr. V. Lobo, the lead author in the study "Free radicals, antioxidants, and functional foods: Impact on human health" wrote, " A balance between free radicals and antioxidants is necessary for proper physiological function. If free radicals overwhelm the body's ability to regulate them, a condition known as oxidative stress ensues", and
"Free radicals thus adversely alter lipids, proteins, and DNA and trigger a number of human diseases. Hence application of an external source of antioxidants can assist in coping this oxidative stress. Synthetic antioxidants such as butylated hydroxytoluene and butylated hydroxyanisole have recently been reported to be dangerous for human health".
These results suggested that regardless of the causes of the overexpression of free radicals, intake of dietary sources of antioxidants from a supplement, herbs, fruits, and vegetables can be beneficial in restoring the healthy ratio of free radicals and antioxidants and preventing the onset of oxidative stress.
Honey is the miraculous product made by bees using nectar from flowers.
The rich golden liquid It is considered one of healthy sweet food for replacing the use of white sugar and artificial sweetener by many people.
In order to understand the honey antioxidant activity which has been under intensified study by the science community, a joint study led by the researchers conducted was conducted in an animal model.
Ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats were randomly assigned to control, ethanol (ulcer), omeprazole, and manuka honey.
Honey treated rats displayed a clinically significant decrease of the ulcer index by completely protected the mucosa from lesions and preserved gastric mucosal glycoprotein.
Application of manuka honey also decreased gastric mucosal MDA, the marker of oxidative stress and plasma TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 concentrations, the set of proinflammatory cytokines produced by the ethanol injection.
The results were attributed to the manuka honey in stimulating the production of antioxidant enzymes which were suppressed by the injection of ethanol in the tested rats.
The finding suggested that manuka honey exerted a strong antioxidant activity by balancing the ratio of free radicals and antioxidant enzymes in the treatment group.
In other words, manuka honey inhibited the oxidative stress caused by overexpression of free radicals in the initiation of the onset of the ulcer.
Further differentiation to reaffirm the effects of manuka honey in the inhibition of gastric ulcer in the rat model, researchers examined three different concentrations of honey applied to the tested rats.
During the experiment, researchers found that all 3 different concentration display a strong effect in It reducing the mucosal myeloperoxidase activity, lipid peroxidation (MDA), and the inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6) compared to the untreated control group.
In other words, manuka honey protects the rat stomach by inhibiting the overexpression free radical and proinflammatory cytokines in inducing oxidative stress.
Application manuka honey also showed a significant increase in enzymatic (GPx and SOD) and nonenzymatic (GSH) antioxidants which were reduced due to ulcer and levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.
The Flow cytometry assay also indicated that treatment of rats with manuka honey has normalized cell cycle distribution and significantly lowered apoptosis in gastric mucosa.
The information collected strong support the use of manuka honey for the treatment of chronic ulcer and preservation of mucosal glycoproteins.
Dr. Almasaudi SB wrote in the final report, "Its (manuka honey) effects are due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that resulted in a significant reduction of the gastric mucosal MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 and caused an elevation in IL-10 levels.
Taken altogether, there is no doubt that manuka honey high in antioxidants can be considered a functional food for the prevention and combined with the primary medicine for the treatment of diseases associated with oxidative stress.

Phytochemical 3,3'-Diindolylmethane, the Potential Anti Colon Cancer Bioactive Compound, According to Researchers
3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM may have a profound and positive effect in reducing risk and treatment of colon cancer, according to studies.
Colon cancer is a chronic condition caused by irregular cell growth in the tissue of the colon.
Most cases of colon cancer start in the cells on the surface of the inner lining of the colon tissue. It is one of the most slow-growing cancer that takes years to develop. Therefore, most patients in the early stage of cancer do not experience any symptoms.
However, at the advanced stage, cancer can cause severe rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal pain due to the larger size tumor that has pressed on the nearby nerve cells and blood vessels.
According to the statistics, the risk of CRC increases with age; the median age at diagnosis for colon cancer is 68 in men and 72 in women.
The data of colon provided by CDC showed that every year, 97,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed.
Besides sharing the common symptoms with other types of cancer such as unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, persistent fatigue, and tiredness, patients with colon cancer may also experience symptoms of change of bowel movement, rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal discomforts, such as cramps, gas or pain.
If you experience some of the above symptoms, please make sure you check with your doctor to rule out the possibility.
Although there are many risk factors involved in the onset of colon cancer, some researchers suggested aging may be one of the most prevalent risks.
Donna Myers on the examination of the time that needed for a polyp or growth of tissue in the lining to cancer and the percentage of colon cancer cases in people age 50 or older, said, " By the time colorectal cancer is diagnosed, it has often been growing for several years, first as a non-cancerous polyp and later as cancer. Research indicates that by age 50, one out of four people has polyps".
The results strongly suggested that if you are at the age of 50 and a higher risk of colon cancer, you may want to have a colonoscopy done every 3 years.
3,3'-Diindolylmethane or DIM are phytochemicals derived from the digestion of indole-3-carbinol, belonging to the group of Indoles, found abundantly in broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, etc.
Researchers on finding the natural compounds for the treatment of colon cancer examined the two anti-cancer agents (doxycycline or 3,3'-diindolylmethane) on HCT-116 and HT-29 colon cancer cell lines.
Injection of the 2 compounds resulted in profound changes in the intracellular content of several lncRNAs (by up to 100 times secreted by tumors into the bloodstream.
The results strongly suggested that by examining the levels of lncRNAs colon cancer expression can be monitored through tumor relapse and metastasis.
In order to reveal more information about 3the Sulindac (SU; 320 ppm) effect on colon cancer, researchers examined two natural compounds, 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM; 250 ppm) and curcumin (CUR; 2000 ppm), with or without lower doses of SU could affect carcinogenesis.
Colon tumors were significantly reduced by SU 320 ppm (62 % reduction over Controls), by DIM and CUR without or with SU 80 and 160 ppm (50, 53 and 58 % reduction, respectively) but not by SU 80 ppm alone.
Futhermore, total tumors (colon and small intestine) were found to reduce substantially by SU (80 and 320 ppm) and by DIM and CUR.
Apoptosis in the normal mucosa was significantly increased by SU 320 ppm and slightly increased by DIM and CUR with or without SU.
The combination of SU with DIM or Cur also caused a slight reduction in Survivin-Birc5 expression observed with all the treatments compared to controls.
Where Survivin-Birc5 protein is found to inhibit caspases associated with the blocking of cancer cell death. The protein is highly expressed in most cancers associated with a poor clinical outcome.
The results strongly reaffirmed the anti-colon cancer activity of DIM and CUR combination.
Taken altogether, DIM used alone or combined with another bioactive compound may be considered a supplement for the prevention and comn=bined with primary medicine for the treatment of colon cancer, pending to the confirmation of larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of DIM as o form of supplement should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.
