Abstract The 2022 US Cancer Statistics show that breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Epidemiology has shown adding flavonoids to diet inhibits arise particular women, such as cervical cancer, ovarian and cancer. Although there have been research reports on apigenin (API) its anti-tumor effect potential mechanism not yet clarified. Therefore, this study, we used 4T1 cells a xenograft tumor mouse model investigate antitumor API underlying mechanism. In vitro, MTT, transwell, staining, western blotting inhibitory molecular vivo by establishing model, using immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry study solid tumors immune microenvironment. results showed can induce cell apoptosis through PI3K/AKT/Nrf2 pathway improve microenvironment mice with tumors, thereby inhibiting growth Thus, may be promising agent for treatment.

Chemotherapy is still one of the principal treatments for gastric cancer, but clinical application 5-FU limited by drug resistance. Here, we demonstrate that ferroptosis triggered STAT3 inhibition may provide a novel opportunity to explore new effective therapeutic strategy cancer and chemotherapy We find negative regulation (FNR) signatures are closely correlated with progression chemoresistance cancer. FNR associated genes (GPX4, SLC7A11, FTH1) upregulated in resistant cells xenografts. Further evidence demonstrates binds consensus DNA response elements promoters regulates their expression, thereby establishing STAT3-ferroptosis regulatory axis Genetic activity triggers through lipid peroxidation Fe2+ accumulation cells. further develop potent selective inhibitor, W1131, which significant anti-tumor effects cell xenograft model, organoids patient-derived xenografts (PDX) model partly inducing ferroptosis, thus providing candidate compound advanced Moreover, targeting circuit promotes restores sensitivity chemotherapy.

Cancer is the world's second most common cause of death, with colon cancer (CC) ranking third in prevalence and cancer-related fatalities. CC originates or rectum influenced by genetic mutations, lifestyle, diet. Although chemotherapy, especially 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), fundamental to treatment has improved patient survival, its benefits are often limited significant side effects emerging drug resistance. Recently, plant-based foods have drawn interest research for their natural bioactive compounds relatively low toxicity. Certain plant not only exhibit anti-cancer activity but may also boost effectiveness 5-FU while reducing adverse effects. Despite evidence suggesting a synergistic effect between 5-FU, this area remains fragmented. This review consolidates current on including fruits, vegetables, legumes, tea bioactives treatment. Besides, it explores mechanisms through which these enhance efficacy reduce effects, evaluates clinical application prospects, identifies challenges future directions. comprehensive analysis aims provide scientific foundation integrated CC, highlighting potential enhancing chemotherapy associated toxicities.

In most cases, cancer develops due to abnormal cell growth and subsequent tumour formation. Due significant constraints with current treatments, natural compounds are being explored as potential alternatives. There now around 30 under clinical trials for the treatment of cancer. Tulsi, or Holy Basil, genus Ocimum, is one widely available cost-effective medicinal plants. India, tulsi plant has deep religious significance.

A systematic articles (from January 2018 2023) was carried out help all Web Science databases available base clinical studies. Based preclinical presented this review, polyphenols can enhance drug efficacy reduce chemoresistance through different molecular mechanisms. Considering large number studies, curcumin could be a molecule future chemotherapy cocktails. One main problems is related bioavailability polyphenols.
