Progressive study of effects of erianin on anticancer activity

OncoTargets and Therapy

Abstract

Erianin is the major bisbenzyl compound extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine Dendrohiumchrysotoxum Lindl. Erianin possesses many biological properties relevant to cancer prevention and therapy. The previous studies confirmed that antitumor effects of erianin are regulated with multiple signaling pathways. The mechanisms of erianin are numerous, and most of them induce cancer cell apoptosis that may be intrinsic or extrinsic and modulate the ROS/JNK signaling pathways. Invasion, migration, and angiogenesis represent emerging targets of erianin and support its anticancer properties. This review aimed to summarize the recent advances in the antitumor activity of erianin and to provide a rationale for further exploring the potential application of erianin in overcoming cancer in the future.

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 Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. 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

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.
