Abstract

Dibenzo[a,l]pyrene (DBP) has been found to be the most potent carcinogen of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Primary sources for DBP in the environment are combustion of wood and coal burning, gasoline and diesel exhaust, and tires. Given the likelihood of environmental exposure to DBP and strong experimental evidence of its potency, it is likely to contribute to lung cancer development. Intervention with compounds of natural origin ("phytochemicals") is considered an effective means to prevent cancer development and favorably modulate the underlying mechanisms, including DNA adduct formation. In this study, several agents have been identified that inhibit environmental carcinogen-induced DNA adduct formation using a cell-free microsomal system. Of the ten agents tested, resveratrol (648 ± 26 adducts/10(9) nucleotides), oltipraz (1007 ± 348 adducts/10(9) nucleotides), delphinidin (1252 ± 142 adducts/10(9) nucleotides), tanshinone I (1981 ± 213 adducts/10(9) nucleotides), tanshinone IIA (2606 ± 478 adducts/10(9) nucleotides) and diindoylmethane (3643 ± 469 adducts/10(9) nucleotides) were the most effective compared to vehicle treatment (14,062 ± 1097 adducts/10(9) nucleotides). DBP is metabolized by phase I metaboliz...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
