Green tea may have a profound and extrinsic effect in reduced risk and treatment of lung cancer, some scientists suggested.
Green tea, a precious drink processes numbers of health benefit known to almost everyone in Asia and Western world. However, as yin in nature herbal medicine or food, long term injection of large amounts may obstruct the balance of yin-yang, induced "yin excessive syndrome" or "yang vacuity syndrome" including weaken immunity and painful case of GERD,... according to traditional Chinese medicine's Yin-Yang theory. Adding a slice of ginger will neurtalize the yin over expression.
Ginger, is a warm herb used in TCM to warm the Middle Burnner and the Lungs, rescues Yang, transforms Phlegm by enhancing the functions of lung, spleen and stomach channels.
Lung cancer is a medical condition characterized by cells growth disorderly and uncontrollably of lung tissues. At the late stage, the cancerous cells may travel a distance from the original site to infect other organs and tissues.
In the study to investigate the anti lung cancer effect of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg), the major polyphenolic compound present in green tea, after taking inot account of other con founders, researchers at the joint study lead by the Kyushu University of Health & Welfare, suggested that
1. The phychemical induced apoptosis of lung cancer through suppression of cell division, in cell culture
2. In human A549 human non-small-cell lung cancer cell line, EGCg inhibited cancerous cell proliferation by interfering mRNA expression in modulation of apoptotic cell death
3. Additionally, application of 100 μM EGCg for 24 h. exhibited cancerous morphological changes, thus reducing cell proliferation
The study also revealed that the efficacy of EGCg inhibited B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xL) through expression of mRNA and suppression of gene in related to cell death.
Further analysis of Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) in inhibited gene expression in risk of lung cancer by binding HIF-1α, in promoted cell proliferation and anchorage-independent growth, researchers launched a study to elucidate the role of microRNA in the EGCG inhibition of tobacco carcinogen-induced lung tumors in A/J mice found that 26 potential targeted genes of the 21 microRNAs. with the mRNA expression profiles may have some implications in increased lung cancer risk.
Interestingly, application of EGCg, indeed, demonstrated a significant effect in improved cell regulation and reduced cell proliferation through many mechanisms, including regulation of
1. AKT pathway in promoted survival and growth in response to extracellular signals.
2. NF-κB expression in cellular responses to stimuli such as stress, cytokines, free radicals, heavy metals, ultraviolet irradiation and
3. MAP kinases, involved variety of fundamental cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, motility, stress response, apoptosis, and survival.
In other words, Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) effect reduced risk and treatment of lung cancer is attributed to the inhibition of expression of RNA in transmitting information to proteins with function to initiated cancer cell change, including cell proliferation and apoptosis.
The findings also suggested that green tea Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) has a strong effect in reduced risk lung cancer through both expression of mutate and cancer-related genes.
More importantly, mutated genes expression has been identified in contribution to cancer development and progression, therefore by target the expression of such genes may help scientists in explore the origins of abnormal gene expression in compared to normal cells.
Other researchers suggested that by targeting both DNA and RNA data to identify alternative expression of mutated gene in patients of lung cancer may open the door by offering specific treatment only for such patients
More precisely, by identified such gene in cancer cell patients, scientist may prescribe gene targeting technology, specific medication and treatment to stop cancer from growing and spreading.
Further differentiation of the effect of green tea extract in lung cancer risk, researchers at the University in Toruń filed the following report
1. Green tea extract catechins demonstrated a significant effect in inhibition of lung cancer line A549 independent to doses applied and
2. Increased cell and marker of cell degradation
3. Green tea extract catechins also expressed a strong protective effect in reduced self cause of toxicity
Collectively, this illustration indicated that green tea extract catechins exerted anti lung cancer progression through protection against destruction and damage of redundant cellular components occurring in vacuoles within the cell without induced side effects
The evidences indicated that certain phytochemicals found in green tea may have a potential in attenuated risk and treatment of lung cancer. But intake of green tea extract supplements have been found to induce liver toxicity, particularly if overdosed.
