Prostate cancer chemoprevention by silibinin: bench to bedside

Molecular Carcinogenesis
Rana P Singh, Rajesh Agarwal

Abstract

Prostate cancer (PCA) is the most invasive malignancy and second leading cause of cancer deaths in American males. One approach to reduce PCA incidence, growth and metastasis is prevention and intervention targeted towards mitogenic and survival signaling and cell-cycle regulation. This approach is based on the rationale that overexpression of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and/or non-receptor tyrosine kinases leads to persistent autocrine stimulation of malignant cells for deregulated cell-cycle progression and uncontrolled growth. PCA progression has also been associated with transition from a paracrine to an autocrine relationship between receptors and growth ligands as this malignancy progresses to an advanced androgen-independent aggressive stage. Together, these studies suggest that targeting RTK-mediated signaling pathways along with cell-cycle regulators could be a practical and translational approach for PCA prevention and intervention. Here, we provide evidence that a naturally occurring nontoxic flavanoid, silibinin, targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and NF-kappaB (nuclear factor-kappa B) pathways in PCA. Furthermore, it modulates cell-cycle regulato...Continue Reading

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.

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.
