New Study Indicates Multiple Mechanisms Involved In The Inhibition Of The Growth Of LNCaP Prostate Cancer Cells By Plant Lignans
[2006/05/02] [Linnea]
Research performed by the Department of Clinical Medicine at the University of Insubria in Italy has shed further light into the mechanisms involved in the inhibition of the growth of LNCaP prostate cancer cells by plant lignans; LNCaP cells lines were incubated with either enterolactone (70-100 microMols) or hydroxymatairesinol (70-100 microMols) for 48 hours, with estradiol (100 microMols) and the cytotoxic agent cycloheximide (10 microMols) used as the experimental controls, with results showing a concentration-dependent increase in the proportion of apoptotic cells for both substances -- enterolactone was about two-fold as effective as hydroxymatairesinol in this experiment but less than half that of cycloheximide and estradiol.
