Brassica Genus Inhibits the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-Positive Burkitt's Lymphoma

By Kyle J. Norton

Herpesvirus is a large family of DNA viruses that cause diseases, depending on types of viral infection.

According to viral classification, there are 8 types of the herpes virus, including human herpesvirus 1 that causes cold sores around the mouth. and 2 that causes genital herpes, herpes zoster that causes chickenpox and shingles, Epstein-Barr virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, cytomegalovirus (CMV) that causes mononucleosis, Human herpesvirus 6 and 7(HHV6 - 7) that causes roseola and Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) that causes cancer, such as Kaposi's Sarcoma.

According to statistics, in the United States, half of teens and adults under age 50 are still infected with the oral herpes virus, and about 1 in 8 have an infection with the genital herpes virus.

All herpesviruses like other viruses are nuclear-replicating, infecting healthy cells nucleus through replication of viral DNA and transcription of viral mRNA.

People infected may experience symptoms of painful sores in the genital area, anus, buttocks, thighs, itching, painful urination, vaginal discharge,..... and tender lumps in the groin.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive is early in the course of the illness associated with VCA-IgM antibodies caused by EBV infection.

The Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), is also known as human gammaherpesvirus 4, one of the nine known human herpesvirus types in the herpes family.

Unlike other types of the herpes virus, symptoms of EBV may vary, including extreme fatigue, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes.

Conventionally, there is no specific treatment for EBV. The most common treatment is to improve quality of life by targeting symptoms such as reducing swelling of tissues with corticosteroids

On finding a potential plant with infectious diseases, researchers compared the effects of indole-3-Carbinol (I3C) is a natural product found in broadly consumed plants of the Brassica genus, such as broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower, effects on various vegetablesEpstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive

Based on the tested results, I3C efficiently induced apoptosis in cell lines derived from EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphomas (virus latency I/II).

However, I3C did not have any cytotoxic activity against EBV-negative Burkitt's lymphomas and immortalized EBV-infected lymphoblastoid cell lines (virus latency III).

Furthermore, The effect of I3C on cell viability. in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma was attributed to C6-methylated derivative, but not other 3-substituted indoles.

Moreover, 3C treatment caused apoptosis characterized by loss of cancer cell mitochondria membrane potential and caspase activation by alternating the expression of proteins involved in the control of apoptosis and transcription regulation in EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines.

Particularly, I3C derivative 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM) prolonged survival and reduced tumor burden of mice xenotransplanted with EBV-positive Burkitt's lymphoma Daudi cells.

Based on the results, researchers said, "these results, together with previous reports from clinical trials indicating the lack of toxicity in humans of I3C and derivatives, support the use of these compounds as a new therapeutic approach for treating patients with endemic (EBV-positive) Burkitt's lymphoma".

Taken altogether, Brassica Genus may be considered anti the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive induced cancer remedy, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Fermented Soy Kills Colon Cancer Cells in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

Primary cancer is a class of chronic disease caused by cell growth disorderly and irregularly in the tissue of a specific organ as a result of the alternation of DNA.

Colon formed part of the digestive system including large intestine that connects to the small intestines and rectum plays a critical role to reabsorb fluids and process waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination through the rectum.
Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.

Most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.

However, at the advanced stage, the tumor not only can spread to other healthy tissue and organs a distance away through blood and fluid circulation but also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells.

The progression of colon cancer at this stage not only induces symptoms of the change in bowel habits, the change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks but also causes rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal severe pain.

According to the statistic by the American Cancer Society, in the US, there are
97,220 new cases of colon cancer diagnosed in 2018. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized stage colorectal cancer is 90%. About 39% of patients are diagnosed at this early stage.

Researchers do not know the exact causes of the disease. A history of polyps, ethnicity, high-fat diet and low fiber, aging, the long-term infection of colon diseases are some of the prevalent risk factors associated with the onset and progression of colon cancer.

Believe it or not, colon cancer is the most slowing cancer and proliferates in a predictable way. In some patients, cancer cells can present in the colon more than 20 years before being diagnosed.

Fermented soy products are diverse varieties of soy food that are made from fermented soybeans, including miso, natto, tempeh, and soy sauce.


On finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer potential researchers examined the effect of synbiotic fermented soymilk supplemented with xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and inoculated with Weissella cibaria FB069 (FSMXW) in the proliferation of colon cancer cell.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Both FB069 and LGG showed to grow in soy-based products and rapidly reduce their pH as a result of fermentation.

* The addition of XOS significantly enhanced the acidification rate, viscosity and total cell concentration in fermented soymilk inoculated with W. cibaria FB069.

* Furthermore, the synbiotic FSMXW showed higher dextran, folate, GABA and aglycone content.

Most importantly, FSMXW demonstrated strong inhibition of the proliferation of Caco-2 and HCT116 cell lines, by reducing the transcripts and proteins such as MD2, TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κb. in triggering an immune response induced activation of proinflammatory cytokines.

Collectively, researchers said, "The synbiotic soymilk containing XOS and W. cibaria FB069 increase nutrient and functional compounds through fermentation process".

Taken altogether, fermented soy may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Kills Myeloid Leukemia Cells in Vivo

By Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells growing and multiplying disorderly and uncontrollably in our body.

Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.

However, at the advanced stage, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.

Leukemia is a condition of an abnormal increase of white blood cells produced by the bone marrow and/or the lymphatic system. Depending on the malignant granulocytes or lymphocytes, leukemia is classified into myelogenous or lymphoblastic leukemia.

Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside the hollow center of the major bone. including spine, pelvis, underarm, leg. etc.


Myeloid Leukemia can be classified into acute and chronic
* Acute myeloid leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of myelogenous lining cause of the rapid growth of abnormal granulocytes accumulated in the bone marrow, interfering with the normal blood cells. In AML, granulocytes appear immature in the bloodstream.

* Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a medical condition associated with the overgrowth of immature cells started in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow.

In other words, compared to normal cells that will die after a limited cell division, chronic myeloid leukemia cells continue to divide with no meaning of dying or stopping, leading to proliferation that affects other healthy cells in the bone marrow.

According to the statistics provided by the American Cancer Society, in 2019, approximately, 8,990 new cases will be diagnosed with CML (5,250 in men and 3,740 in women. and CML is expected to cause the death of 1,140 people including 660 men and 480 women.

More precisely, CML accounts for 15% of all cases of leukemia diagnosed each year. In other words, the lifetime risk of CML in the US is 1 person in 526.

The 5-year survival rate of patients treated with chemo drug imatinib (Gleevec®) including all stages of CML is 90%.

Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

On finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of cancer, researchers investigated the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5), a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid on myeloid leukemia.

According to the tested analysis in a murine model of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) induced by bone marrow transplantation of BCR-ABL-expressing hematopoietic stem cells,

* EPA showed a decrease in the leukemia stem cells (LSC) population and reduced the abnormal enlargement of the spleen and above the normal range in the blood associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia progression, compared to mice treated with oleic acid diet.

* EPA exerted a similar effect on CML mice carrying the T315I mutation (in BCR-ABL).

* Δ(12)-PGJ3, a derivative of EPA also rescued indomethacin-treated BCR-ABL mice and decreased LSCs.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "EPA supplementation was effective in a murine model of acute myeloid leukemia. EPA-supplemented mice exhibited a decrease in leukemia burden and a decrease in the LSC colony-forming unit (LSC-CFU)".

And, "he results support a chemopreventive role for EPA in myeloid leukemia, which is dependent on the ability to efficiently convert EPA to....Δ(12)-PGJ3".

 

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids processed abundantly eicosapentaenoic acid may be considered a functional food for the treatment of myeloid leukemia, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Beta-Sitosterol, A Promising Natural Hormone Estrogen Therapy Alternative

By Kyle J. Norton

Estrogen is a primary female sex hormone, responsible for the development and regulation of the female reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics.

The estrogenic effect is an action that stimulates the production of the hormone estrogen in case of deficiency.

On the other hand, the anti-estrogenic effect is an action of binding the estrogen receptor(ERα ) and/ERβ in inhibiting the excessive levels of estrogen circulating in the body.

Menopause is a condition in which a woman is in the transition stage of permanent cessation of the ovaries functions in egg production because of less production of estrogen and progesterone, signaling the end of the reproductive phase a woman's life.

In menopause, menstruation has become irregular and slowly stop overtime, but in some women, menstrual flow comes to a sudden halt.

Some researchers suggested that you officially enter the stage of menopause if you have gone 12 months without a menstrual period.

Menopause symptoms are a set of symptoms caused by the gradual decline of levels of estrogen and progesterone due to aging loss menstrual periods in women.

The reproductive tract, the urinary tract, the heart and blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles normally regulated by hormone estrogen also are affected by the decline levels of the hormone.

In the concern of hormone therapy used for the treatment of menopause symptoms, herbal medicine with estrogenic effect have been under intensive investigation, with an aim to find a natural ingredient with the similar effects as of those used in hormone therapy with no side effects.

The aim of estrogenic therapy is to relieve symptoms of sleep interruption, according to the study of health-related quality of life, fatigue, and hormone-related symptoms in breast cancer survivors, and menopausal symptoms, primarily hot flashes, affects approximately two-thirds of menopausal and postmenopausal women, botanicals and dietary supplement (BDS).

Beta-Sitosterol is a phytochemical in the class of Phytosterols, belongings to the group of Lipids, found abundantly in avocados, rice bran, wheat germ, corn oils, fennel, peanuts, soybeans, hawthorn, basil, buckwheat. etc.

On finding a potential phytochemical for the prevention and treatment of menopausal symptoms, researchers elucidated the effects of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol in the hydroalcoholic extract of Bambusa bambos as an alternative Hormone Replacement Therapy.

According to the results of the experiment
* The extract containing β-sitosterol and stigmasterol showed an estrogenic effect on the growth of MCF-7 cells in vitro.

* The tested extract showed no cytotoxicity to the to MCF-7 cells in any of the dilutions, but induced cell proliferation and all the dilutions except <500μg/ml have significantly increased cell multiplication.

* Furthermore, the doses of 15.6, 31.2, 62.5 and 125μg/ml of HEBB have shown influence on the proliferation rates similar to the standard 17β-estradiol.

Based on the findings, researchers said, "The results suggest that HEBB might be used as a safe alternative to estrogen replacement therapies".

Beta-Sitosterol may be considered a natural estrogenic remedy for the prevention and treatment of menopausal symptoms, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of beta-Sitosterol in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens) Induce Liver Toxicity in Treatment of Cancer in Vitro

By Kyle J. Norton

The liver not only plays a critical role to filter the blood coming from the intestine before passing them to other parts of the body but also protects our body against toxin by detoxifying chemicals and metabolizes drugs.

Furthermore, the liver produces bile that not only aids the digestive function in food absorption but also builds strong cell membranes, produces vitamin D and steroid hormone.

Additionally, the liver also inhibits oxidative stress by producing the antioxidant enzyme that counters the expression of free radicals in the body.

Liver cancer is a medical condition characterized by cell growth irregularly in the liver tissue.

The liver organ is one of the organs with a lack of nerve tissue, therefore liver cancer does not induce pain until the later stage.

At the advanced stage of liver cancer, the cancer cell may travel a distance away to infect other tissues and organs, leading to secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the Canadian Cancer Society, every year, approximately, 1,900 men and 580 women are diagnosed with liver cancer, causing the death of 950 men and 270 women.

In 2017, 2,500 Canadians were diagnosed with liver cancer and 1,200 Canadians died from liver cancer.

Compared to the early stage of other cancer, the 5 years survival rate in the early stage diagnosis is only 31% and 43% of people with liver cancer diagnosed at stage 0 and 1.

Toxic liver disease or liver toxicity is a condition that damages the liver.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of liver diseases, scientists examined the anti toxicity of harpagoside (HA), the main compound from Harpagophytum procumbens (Hp) in a hepatic cell line (HepG2/C3A).

Devil's claw also known as the wood spider, is a plant of genus Harpagophytum in the family of Pedaliaceae, native to South Africa. 

The plant has been used as an herb in traditional and herbal medicine to treat fever, rheumatoid arthritis, skin, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach and kidneys conditions, etc.

According to tested analysis,
* The administration of HA was found to decrease the number of cells in the S phase, increase the number of cells in the G2/M phase followed by inducing apoptosis.

* Neither Hp nor HA was genotoxic.

* Hp inhibited the expression of CDK6 and CTP3A4 in removing liver toxins or drugs.

* The cells upon exposure to Hp and HA exhibited decreased proliferation.

More precisely, HA and Hp induced cytotoxicity through mechanisms that involved in the inhibition of metabolism instead of involving transcriptional regulation of the cyclins and CDKs associated with cell cycle arrest.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "treatment with either Hp or HA can be cytotoxic, and this should be taken into consideration when balancing the risks and benefits of treatments for rheumatic disease".

Taken altogether, Devil's claw injection with a large dose may induce toxicity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Healthy Foods Broccoli May Process Anti-Influenza Virus Properties

By Kyle J. Norton

Influenza also known as "the flu", is an infectious disease caused by an influenza virus.

In other words, flu (influenza) is an infectious disease caused by RNA viruses of the family Orthomyxoviridae (the influenza viruses) that can lead to symptoms of chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, severe headache, coughing, etc.

There are 3 types of flu influenza: A, B, and C. the influenza virus A and B are considered seasonal flu that causes sniffling, aching, coughing, and running and stuffy nose and fever to over 20% of the general population.

Influenza virus types C tends to cause mild upper respiratory infections, similar to those of cold.

Healthy individuals who have influenza are usually recovered within one week.

However, people with immature and weakened immune system such as young children under age 5, adults older than age 65 residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, chronic illnesses, such as asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, and diabetes are not only associated with the risk of influenza but also increase the risk of influenza deadly complication.

Pregnant women and women up to two weeks postpartum due to change of the immune system and other organs have been found to make a woman more prone to influenza and influenza complications.

Most common H and N subtype are influenza A that has been mutated to affect the combination of human, swine, and bird flu viruses, including
* H1N1 - Swine Flu
H1N1 normally is only transmitted among pigs. However, as of today, H1N1 became the first flu pandemic in the world that causes respiratory illness.

* H5N1 - Bird Flu
H5N1 is the strain of influenza known as a bird or avian flu. Before, it is transmitted between birds, but today, it now can be passed from bird to human. The strain is dangerous to humans with high death rates.

Broccoli is a mustard/cabbage plant, belongings to the family Brassicaceae. The veggie has large flower heads, usually green in color with a mass of flower heads surrounded by leaves and evolved from a wild cabbage plant from the continent of Europe.

With an aim to find a natural food for the prevention and treatment of viral diseases, researchers examined the effects of broccoli sprout homogenates (BSH) on nasal cytokines, virus replication, and Nrf2-dependent enzyme expression in smokers and nonsmokers.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial included healthy young adult smokers and nonsmokers ingested BSH or placebo (alfalfa sprout homogenate) for 4 days, designated Days -1, 0, 1, 2. and on day 0 they received standard vaccine dose of live attenuated influenza virus (LAIV) intranasally.
According to the tested analysis,
* In the area under curve analyses, post-LAIV IL-6 responses (P = 0.03) and influenza sequences (P = 0.01) were significantly reduced in NLF from BSH-treated smokers.

* However, In nonsmokers, a similar trend for reduction in virus quantity with BSH did not reach statistical significance.

In other words, in smokers, short term ingestion of broccoli sprout homogenates appears to significantly reduce some virus-induced markers of inflammation, and virus quantity compared to less significant in non-smokers.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, " Nutritional antioxidant interventions have promise as a safe, low-cost strategy for reducing influenza risk among smokers and other at-risk populations".
And "However, because variability exists in the timing and methods of detection for SFN conjugate levels, it is difficult to compare systemic SFN levels across studies".

In other words, SFN protected the integrity of the neurons against neuron damage through it's anti-neuroinflammatory and neuroprotective activities.

Taken altogether, broccoli sprouts may be considered supplements for the prevention of influenza, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.



Intake of SFN in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

Herbal Angelica Sinensis, A Potential Anti Weight Gain Remedy

By Kyle J. Norton

Obesity is a medical condition caused by excess body fat accumulated to some extent that impacts personal health. The hallmark of obesity is attenuated metabolism and structural cell changes in the obese fat observed by reducing metabolic activity.

According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), people who have a BMI between 25 to 29.9 are considered overweight and a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity.

The formula of the BMI indexBMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

According to the statistic, 68% of the American population is either overweight or obese. However,
in 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults, 18 years and older, were overweight, including over 650 million were obese worldwide.

Visceral fat obesity is associated with 90% of patients with ischemic heart disease. In obese, accumulation of visceral fat is predominant in the intra-abdominal cavity.

Visceral fat is a layer of fat that surrounds the organs. Overexpression of visceral fat has been found to promote insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation.

However, in non-obese subjects, visceral fat accumulation is correlated with glucose intolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.

Obesity rates have increased for all age groups in the US over the last several decades, coincidently with the periods that promoted the Western diet.

Weight gain is an increase in body weight associated with some parameters, including increased muscle mass, fat deposits, excess fluids such as water or other factors. 

However, weight gain has also been found to be induced by serious medical conditions.

On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of obesity, scientists examined the radix Angelica sinensis (RAS) suppressed body weight by altering the expression of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene in an animal model.
Angelica or Dang Gui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

According to tested analysis in mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity, 

* 36 differentially-expressed genes (DEGs) associated with the increased onset of obesity were found in adipose tissues from the RAS supplementation group (DH) and control group (HC).

* Six out of the 36 DEGs identified to be involved in lipid metabolism, with the APOA2 gene a potential anti-obesogenic influence were inhibited by the injection of RAS compared to control.

In other words, RAS supplementation in HFD-induced obese mice was associated with an anti-obesogenic global transcriptomic response.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "This study provides insight into potential applications of RAS in obesity therapy".

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered a remedy for the treatment of weight gain in obese, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
