Abstract

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phytoalexin with antioxidant activity. The chemopreventive effects of resveratrol against various types of cancer are well known, though the underlying molecular mechanisms of its action are still not identified. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a one of the most lethal malignancies and there is no effective treatment till date. It is known that cyclin D1 is overexpressed in liver cancers. Accordingly we have studied the chemopreventive effects of resveratrol on cyclin D1 expression and the signaling pathways that regulate cyclin D1 in HepG2 cells. Flow cytometry and PCNA western blot data showed that resveratrol inhibits proliferation of HepG2 cells. Also, resveratrol treatment downregulated cyclin D1 as well as p38 MAP kinase, Akt and Pak1 expression and activity in HepG2 cells, suggesting that growth inhibitory activity of resveratrol is associated with the downregulation of cell proliferation and survival pathways. Furthermore, resveratrol treated cells showed increase in ERK activity suggesting possible sensitization to apoptosis. Thus in the present study, we report a three-dimensional relationship between the growth inhibitory effects of resveratrol - decrease in the levels of cyclin...Continue Reading

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Hepatocellular Carcinoma is a malignant cancer in liver epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on Hepatocellular Carcinoma here.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer and frequently occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. Here is the latest research.
