Cancer is a group of chronic diseases associated with cell growth disorderly in the tissue of some specific organ. Depending on the grade and stage, most cases of cancer in the advanced stage have been found to induce a higher mortality rate compared to cancer diagnosed in the localized stage.
Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers that starts in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the mouth, nose, throat, larynx, sinuses, or salivary glands.
Squamous cell carcinoma is cancer arising from the squamous cells found in the outer layer of skin and in the mucous membranes, which are the moist tissues that line body cavities.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) develops in the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, and throat.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) epidemiologically has been found to spread to the lymph nodes or lungs. More than 90% of the head and neck cancers diagnosed are squamous carcinomas.
Symptoms of head and neck cancer may include a lump or sore that does not heal, a sore throat that does not go away, trouble swallowing, or a change in voice.
According to the statistics provided by the Western General Hospital, squamous cell cancer of the head and neck is common worldwide accounting for 4% of all cancers in the United States and 5% in the United Kingdom.
The exact causes of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are unknown. However, geographically, smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, and long-term poor diet are important to risk factors in the West compared to risk factors of chewing betel or areca nuts, smoking bidis, and taking snuff are important in the Indian subcontinent.
More importantly, the genetic preposition of genome 9p21, which may indicate the loss of a gene that suppresses tumors accounted for a total of 70% of all cases.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
On finding a potential ingredient for the treatment of head and neck cancer, researchers examined the effect of curcumin on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) using a panel of cell lines with and without human papillomavirus (HPV+, HPV-).
According to the tested differentiation, curcumin treatment of HNSCC cell lines not only interfered with RNA of Skp2, which causes cancer tumorigenesis and radiation tolerance but also induced concomitant accumulation of p21 and p27 associated with a cell cycle arrest in HPV+, HPV- cells.
Furthermore, curcumin inhibits cell viability and induces apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in the tested cell line with and without human papillomavirus (HPV+, HPV-).
Moreover, curcumin treatment of HPV+ and HPV- cells resulted in apoptosis via the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis and activation of caspases that play a critical role in programmed cell death.
Additionally, the inhibition of HPV+ and HPV- cells by curcumin was also found to suppress the expression of poor prognostic markers such as XIAP, and cancer survival such as cIAP1, and cIAP2.
More importantly, co-treatment of HNSCC cells with curcumin and cisplatin potentiated inhibition of cell viability and apoptotic effects.
Based on the findings, researchers wrote in the final report, "These data suggest an important function for curcumin, acting as a suppressor of oncoprotein Skp2 in squamous cell carcinoma cells in both HPV+ and HPV- cells".
Taken together, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the prevention and treatment of HNSCC, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Healthyfood #Tomatoes Protect the Tissues of Stomach Against Gastric Injury-Induced by Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Kyle J. Norton
Gastrointestinal injury is an injury associated with the stomach, small bowel, colon, or rectum.
In other words, any damage to the organs of the digestive system caused by blunt or penetrating trauma is considered a gastrointestinal injury.
Gastrointestinal injury caused by blunt trauma in children is uncommon, accounting for less than 1% of all gastrointestinal injuries.
Believe it or not, in children, the most common causes of gastrointestinal injury are caused by a discrete point of energy transfer such as a seatbelt (19%), a handlebar (13%), or a blow from abuse (19%), or other blows and is unique to this population, according to the Children's Hospital.
Depending on the organ damage, patients may experience different symptoms.
In small intestinal injury, patients may have symptoms of pain close to the injured bowel segment, abdominal distension, and diarrhea, ileus, diffuse abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
In large intestinal injuries, patients may have symptoms of persistent focal pain in a trocar site with abdominal distention, diarrhea, and leukopenia.
In gastric/stomach injury, patients May first experience symptoms of nausea, vomiting, blood in the urine, and fever, followed by abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, or rigidity.
In rectal injury, patients may have symptoms of rectal itching, pain, and rectal bleeding.
Tomato is a red, edible fruit, genus Solanum, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to South America. Because of its health benefits, the tomato is grown worldwide for the commercial purpose
and often in the greenhouse.
In finding a potential ingredient for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal injury, researchers investigated the transgenic mini-tomato and protection against alcohol-induced gastrointestinal injury.
By examining the function of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) in maintaining the physiological function of the mucosa of the digestive tract, and promoting the healing of the gastric and duodenal ulcers, researchers chemically synthesized a tomato codon preference hEGF gene by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) has been found to play an essential role in wound healing by stimulating epidermal and dermal regeneration.
According to the radioimmunoassay (RIA),15 days of intragastric gavage (ig) administration of the rhEGF-containing juice of the transgenic tomato could significantly protect mice against alcohol-induced ulceration.
The Ulcer index expressed as a degree of the stomach lesion, also decreased from 42.20 +/- 18.13 to 16.25 +/- 9.57.
In other words, the transgenic tomato protects the integrity of the stomach cell against the insults of excessive alcohol consumption that damage the stomach lining tissues and speeds up ulcer healing
Taken together, tomatoes with rhEGF may be considered a dietary supplement for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal injury, pending a large sample size and multicenter human study.

#Turmeric Prevents Liver Damage and Injury by Inhibiting Liver Stress Markers, Researchers Show
Kyle J. Norton
The liver is the largest internal organ that not only filters the blood from the digestive system before passing it to other parts of the body but also plays a critical role in the production of cholesterol, a waxy substance that aids digestion, builds cell membranes, and produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Hepatic stress is a condition in which the function of the liver is partly reduced. Hepatic stress can be observed by the levels of liver stress-makers.
Liver function tests (LFTs or LFs) are used to measure the levels of liver transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) in patients with liver injury, particularly, in a patient with some degree of intact liver function.
Abnormal high levels of transaminases aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) are early indications of liver damage or injury.
Oxidative stress in the liver caused by a toxic substance such as an overdose of the supplement has been found to constitute most cases of acute liver damage.
Lauren Cooper, the author of the examines the toxic effects of an overdose of green tea extract and bodybuilding pills wrote, "Many herbal remedies and dietary supplements can also harm the liver, including some that you can easily buy online or over-the-counter in drug or health food stores".
And, "Researchers looked at cases of liver damage reported to the Drug-Induced Liver Injury Network, a program funded by the National Institutes of Health. Roughly 700 cases of liver damage were reported to the program during the period of the study; 130 of those cases were linked to dietary supplements".
The results strongly suggested although green tea extract is considered a functional supplement for the treatment of various diseases, overdose and abusive use of such supplements also have a negative impact on human health, particularly liver health.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
With an aim to find a potential compound for the improvement of liver functioning, researchers examined the effect of Curcuma longa L. (CLL) rhizome on hepatic dysfunction.
On acute carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver stress rats, researchers compared the activity of CLL extract administered once a day for 3 days at three dose levels (100, 200, and 300 mg/kg/day) and curcumin administered once a day at the 200 mg/kg/day.
Before treatment, CCl4 rats showed a significant induced increased serum AST and ALT levels by 2.1- and 1.2-fold, respectively, compared with the control.
CLL- and curcumin-treated rats inhibited the levels of AST but not ALT elevation induced by CCl4.
Furthermore, according to the tested assays, the peroxidation of membrane lipids in the liver was significantly prevented by CLL (100, 200, and 300 mg/kg/day) on liver tissues.
Moreover, both CLL extract and curcumin exhibited significant protection against liver injury by improving the levels of hepatic antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione against free radicals expression in the CCl4 treated rats.
More precisely, both CLL extract and curcumin protected the liver cells against the onset of liver cellular stress by reducing the liver damage markers and inhibiting the liver oxidative stress via increased production of liver antioxidant enzymes.
Dr. Lee GH, the lead scientist said, "Our data suggested that CLL extract and curcumin protect the liver from acute CCl4-induced injury in a rodent model by suppressing hepatic oxidative stress. Therefore, CLL extract and curcumin are potential therapeutic antioxidant agents against acute hepatotoxicity".
Taken together, turmeric processed abundantly bioactive compound curcumin may be considered supplements for the improvement of liver functioning against liver damage, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Ginger Intake Orally Rduces Pain and Disability of Patients with #Osteoarthritis, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Ginger may have a potential and positive effect in ameliorating the symptoms of pain and complications of reduced quality of life in patients with osteoarthritis, some scientists suggested.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic condition a type of joint disease characterized by the breaking down of joint cartilage and underlying bone due to the “wear and tear” of joints over time.
Some researchers suggested that OA is a degenerative disease characterized by “low-grade inflammation” in the cartilage and synovium, affecting the joint structure and progressive deterioration of cartilage.
According to the statistics from the NIH, osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disorder in the US. Among adults, 60 years of age or older the prevalence of symptomatic knee and sadly OA affects approximately 10% of men and 13% of women.
Epidemiological strongly suggest that obesity and overweight which have a strong impact on weight-bearing joints, the genetic preposition of a patient can make such a patient more susceptible to the disease compared to others who do not, people with a joint injury that did heal properly at a younger age and people with occupations that require standing for long periods of time, repetitive bending, heavy lifting or other movements and the increase in age are associated to the increased risk of the onset of the disease.
The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis are joint pain and stiffness.
Dr. Giuseppe Musumeci, the lead author in the study "Osteoarthritis in the XXIst Century: Risk Factors and Behaviours that Influence Disease Onset and Progression" suggested that besides the risk factors mentioned above, dietary factors also play an important role in the onset of the disease.
In the dietary aspect in the induction of OA, the research team wrote, "This diet (The Western diet) is mainly constituted by preservative and harmful substances, such as animal fat and glucose excessive concentration and lack of nutritional factors, such as vitamins and nutrient minerals essential for our body. Moreover, bad dietary habits may predispose people to obesity, which is responsible for both metabolic destroying processes affecting the cartilage and overload of the joints, especially hips and knees".
And, " Quantity and quality of nutrient intake. Low intake of vitamin D and vitamin C is a possible risk factor for knee OA, while certain food groups, such as milk and dairy products, meat, and poultry are beneficial for knee OA. Thus we could affirm that nutritional imbalance, combined with endocrine abnormalities, may be involved in the pathogenesis of OA".
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 reaffirm the traditional use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis, a joint review led by the Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg, and Frederiksberg was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of oral ginger for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).
The study was carried out by searching the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing oral ginger treatment with placebo in OA patients aged >18 years satisfied the predetermined guidelines and criteria, including the outcomes of the reduction in pain and disability.
Out of 122 retrieved references, 117 were discarded, and only 5 five trials (593 patients) were selected for meta-analyses.
All 5 remaining studies suggested that ginger intake scored a statistically significant pain reduction.
Furthermore, the application of ginger in subjects with osteoarthritis demonstrates a statistically significant reduction in disability compared to the control.
However, according to the returned questionnaires from the participants, researchers surprisingly found that patients given ginger are more than twice as likely to discontinue treatment compared to placebo.
Dr. Mozaffari-Khosravi H, the lead author, launched a joint study to determine ginger powder's effects in relieving pain and inflammation in patients with osteoarthritis.
120 participants selected for the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 3-month clinical trial for knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the ginger group (GG) or the placebo group (PG).
Ginger selected group was given capsules containing 500 mg of ginger powder, while the PG group was given capsules filled with 500 mg starch.
At the baseline, proinflammatory cytokine concentrations did not differ by group, as observed by the participant's blood sample.
After 3 months, GG showed a significant reduction of cytokines compared to the PG.
In the final report, the research team wrote, "Ginger supplementation may have promising benefits for knee osteoarthritis".
These results reconfirming the use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis in traditional medicine with no side effects

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 reaffirm the traditional use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis, a joint review led by the Copenhagen University Hospital, Bispebjerg, and Frederiksberg was conducted to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of oral ginger for the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis (OA).
The study was carried out by searching the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing oral ginger treatment with placebo in OA patients aged >18 years satisfied the predetermined guidelines and criteria, including the outcomes of the reduction in pain and disability.
Out of 122 retrieved references, 117 were discarded, and only 5 five trials (593 patients) were selected for meta-analyses.
All 5 remaining studies suggested that ginger intake scored a statistically significant pain reduction.
Furthermore, the application of ginger in subjects with osteoarthritis demonstrates a statistically significant reduction in disability compared to the control.
However, according to the returned questionnaires from the participants, researchers surprisingly found that patients given ginger are more than twice as likely to discontinue treatment compared to placebo.
Dr. Mozaffari-Khosravi H, the lead author, launched a joint study to determine ginger powder's effects in relieving pain and inflammation in patients with osteoarthritis.
120 participants selected for the randomized double-blind placebo-controlled 3-month clinical trial for knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to one of two groups: the ginger group (GG) or the placebo group (PG).
Ginger selected group was given capsules containing 500 mg of ginger powder, while the PG group was given capsules filled with 500 mg starch.
At the baseline, proinflammatory cytokine concentrations did not differ by group, as observed by the participant's blood sample.
After 3 months, GG showed a significant reduction of cytokines compared to the PG.
In the final report, the research team wrote, "Ginger supplementation may have promising benefits for knee osteoarthritis".
These results reconfirming the use of ginger for the treatment of osteoarthritis in traditional medicine with no side effects

#BrassicaFood Plants Regulate Parameters Associated with a Reduced Risk of Cardiac Hypertrophy, Researchers Say
Kyle J. Norton
Hypertrophy is a process or condition that increases and growth of muscle cells by increasing the muscular size achieved through exercise.
Lifting weights is the most common way to increase hypertrophy.
In other words, hypertrophy is the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in the size of its cells by increasing the number of contractile proteins in each muscle fiber.
There are two types of muscular hypertrophy including the growth of muscle contraction parts or myofibrillar and the increased muscle glycogen storage or sarcoplasmic.
Myofibrillar training improves strength and speed, compared to sarcoplasmic growth that sustains more energy in endurance athletic events.
Cardiac hypertrophy is a medical condition associated with the abnormal enlargement, or thickening, of the heart muscle.
The most common causes of cardiac hypertrophy are the results of hypertension or valvular disease.
The condition can also be caused by athletic hypertrophy (a condition related to exercise), valve disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM), and congenital heart disease.
The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, chest pain, and palpitation, especially during exercise.
In finding a potential compound that attenuates cardiac H9c2 cell hypertrophy, researchers examined the effects of 3,3'-Diindolylmethane (DIM) is the major product of the acid-catalyzed condensation of indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a component of extracts of Brassica food plants.
The study was conducted using an in vitro model with 1 µM angiotensin II (Ang II) in cultured rat cardiac H9c2 cells, to observe the effects of DIM on cardiac hypertrophy.
According to the tested analysis, the optimal concentration of DIM for 6, 12, and 24 h. showed a significant effect on the atrial natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and myosin heavy chain β mRNA expression induced by Ang II in H9c2 cells.
In other words, DIM lowers the blood pressure, promotes diuresis, natriuresis, vasodilation of the systemic and pulmonary vasculature, and reduction of circulating levels of endothelin and aldosterone and cardiac muscle contraction induced by Ang II in H9c2 cells.
Furthermore, H9c2 cells treated with DIM for 0, 15, 30, and 60 min induced by Ang II also improve the function of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase catalytic subunit alpha-1 that regulates the activities of a number of key metabolic enzymes in protecting the cardiac cells from stresses in response to hypertrophic stimuli.
Based on the findings, Brassica food plants consist of DIM that may be used for the prevention of cardiac hypertrophy, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Fennel Powder, Extract, and Oil Inhibit Nephrotoxicity through Their Antioxidant Activity, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Fennel may have a potential and positive effect on excess water and toxins from the body, some scientists suggested.
The result was reported on online medical literature conducted by some respectable institutes, including John Wiley & Sons, Ltd . and UFR Physiologie-Pharmacologie over different aspects via a number of mechanisms.
Diuresis is a medicine for the stimulation of increased production of urine.
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) is a plant species of the genus, belongings to Apiaceae (Umbelliferae), native to the Mediterranean, used in traditional and herbal medicine as a warming, carminative, antispasmodic, antidepressant agent and to stimulate the appetite, ease indigestion, soothe coughing, reduce intestinal spasms, to regulate the menstrual cycle and relieve PMS,...
In animal models, according to John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. in the evaluation of the toxic effect of hydroalcoholic extracts of Foeniculum vulgare var dulce (D.C) root, application of the extract exerted significant activities in flushing out of excess water and toxin from the body through increased kidney function in secretion of the urine.
The result of these properties was observed by an increase in urine flow and urinary sodium excretion.
The efficacy in cleansing the body was also found linearly in dose dose-dependent manner.
Continuously, in further examination of the efficacy of fennel powder, extract, and oil on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity through a study of a total of 35 adult female Sprague Dawley rats classified into five groups with the first group kept on a standard diet all over the period of the experiment. and the other groups were administered gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day for 7 days i.p), followed by either the control (+ve) group or treated groups with fennel powder, extract, and oil for 45 days, At the end of study, Researchers found that
* The injected gentamicin group served as control and exhibited strong nephrotoxicity manifested by increased levels of kidney function indicator, serum nitric oxide (NO), and kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) however, this group of rats also exerted a significant decrease in weight gain.
Increased expression of serum nitric oxide (NO) and kidney malondialdehyde (MDA) is an indicator of severed oxidative stress caused by an imbalanced ratio of ROS and antioxidants in the host.
* Gentamicin groups treated with fennel powder, extract and oil demonstrated an improved level of urea and uric acid in comparison to control (+ve) and displayed an improvement of antioxidant enzymes as the increase of serum superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase, and glutathione transferase (GST) and decrease of serum NO in compared to control (+ve) group.
These results addressed the important antioxidant effect of fennel extracts. Applications not only inhibited the levels of free radicals and their' chain reactive activities but also stimulated the production of antioxidants found in the host tissue.
* Moreover, the group treated with fennel oil restored the normal values of kidney antioxidant enzymes compared with a normal group and other treatment groups.
Dr. Soheir Ahamed Al-Masri, the lead author, after taking into account other co and confounders said, "fennel powder, extract, and oil have a potent antioxidant and ameliorate in rats gentamicin induced nephrotoxicity in rats".
Clearly, fennel oil exhibited the greatest effect in stimulating kidney function in detoxing the body toxins through increased secretion of urine in comparison to another experimental group.
The results of this study clearly indicate that fennel powder, extract, and oil have a potent antioxidant and ameliorate in rats gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. [Soheir Ahamed Al-Masri and Waffa, Sh. Ali. The Ameliorating
Interestingly, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) treated with either water extract of Marrubium vulgare L. or Foeniculum vulgare L. in normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), researchers showed that application of fennel water extract reduced hypertension through Foeniculum increased water, sodium and potassium excretion in compared to non effect of Marrubium treated group.
Additionally, compared to Marrubium extract in reduced hypertension through inhibited contractile responses, fennel restored the normal; blood pressure by increased urine secretion and ameliorated the overexpression of ROS and increased antioxidant status in the host.
Surely, one can say that Foeniculum acts mainly as a diuretic and a natriuretic while Marrubium displays vascular relaxant activity.
Taken together, fennel and its extracts may be considered a detox functional food in getting rid of body toxins through its diuretic activities.

#Healthy Food #Onion Inhibit of Angiogenesis Associated with #CancerCell Migration, Apoptosis and Invasion, According to Studies
Kyle J. Norton
Angiogenesis is the process that promotes the formation of new blood vessels involving many factors including the migration, growth, and differentiation of endothelial cells.
In normal cells, angiogenesis is important for the cells to obtain nutrients and metabolites through the small blood vessels. Angiogenesis has been found to process a therapeutic effect for the treatment of ischemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and wound healing.
Dr. Papetti M, the lead scientist at the Tufts University School of Medicine said, "Normal angiogenesis ensures that developing or healing tissues receive an adequate supply of nutrients".
In cancers, angiogenesis stimulated by the tumor cells has been associated with tumor proliferation and metastasis.
More precisely, the angiogenesis process is a function of a double sword, on one hand, the process provides an ideal condition for the treatment of diseases and wound healing. On the other hand, it promotes invasive and overgrowth tumor.
Dr. Papetti M continued, "Tumor cells induce the formation of new blood supply from the preexisting vasculature, and this affords tumor cells the ability to survive and propagate in a hostile environment"
Collectively, " both normal and tumor-induced neovascularization fulfill the essential role of satisfying the metabolic demands of tissue".
Based on the findings some researchers suggested, that by inhibiting the process of blood vessel formation of the tumor, cancer may be curable.
Dr. Dai X, the lead researchers in the study of "Suppression of murine B-cell lymphoma growth by trichosanthin through anti-angiogenesis" showed, "trichosanthin TCS, ( an immunosuppressive and anti-tumor protein) inhibits murine B-cell lymphoma growth by anti-angiogenesis was reported. First, TCS inhibit tumor growth and prolonged survival significantly in vivo, and TCS depressed the formation of new blood vessels around the tumor in a dose-dependent manner".
The onion is a plant in the genus Allium, belonging to the family Alliaceae, a closely related of garlic. It is often called the "king of vegetables" because of its pungent taste and found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures.
Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy, pungent, mild or sweet.
In finding a potent ingredient that processes anti-cancer activity researchers studied the antiangiogenic activity of quercetin isolated from onion, using ex vivo, in vivo, and in vitro models.
According to the tested differentiation, quercetin at non-toxic concentrations significantly inhibited the microvessel sprouting associated with cancer cell proliferation.
Furthermore, the activity of cancer cell migration, invasion, and tube formation of endothelial cells involved in the process of angiogenesis.was also significantly decreased by the administration of quercetin.
Quercetin treatment inhibited ex vivo angiogenesis observed by chicken egg chorioallantoic membrane assay (CAM) and matrigel plug assay.
Moreover, quercetin suppressed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which has been found to induce the formation of a blood vessel for the progression of the tumor.
Additionally, downstream pathways associated with the promotion of survival and growth in response to extracellular signals that induce angiogenesis were also inhibited by quercetin in HUVECs.
Quercetin at the concentration of 20 mg/kg/d significantly reduced the volume and the weight of solid tumors in a prostate xenograft mouse model by targeting angiogenesis.
Quercetin was also found to inhibit the cancer cell viability and induce apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.
In other words, quercetin inhibits tumor growth and angiogenesis by targeting the proteins and signaling pathways that initiate the growth of new blood vessels.
Taken altogether, onion processed with a higher amount of quercetin may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of cancer, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
