The Bmi-1 polycomb group gene in skin cancer: regulation of function by –epigallocatechin-3-gallate
The article presents a study which examines the role of Bmi-1 polycomb group (PcG) gene in skin cancer. PcG genes encode a family of evolutionarily conserved regulators that were discovered in dr...
EGCG Suppresses Lung Cancer Cell Growth
The article discusses research which was conducted at the Hormel Institute at the University of Minnesota and found that a polyphenol compound in the catechin family called epigallocatechin galla...
Differential Responses of Skin Cancer-Chemopreventive Agents Silibinin, Quercetin, and Epigallocatechin 3-Gallate
Differential Responses of Skin Cancer-Chemopreventive Agents Silibinin, Quercetin, and Epigallocatechin 3-Gallate on Mitogenic Signaling and Cell Cycle Regulators in Human Epidermoid Carcinoma A431 Cells
Silibinin, quercetin, and epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG) have been shown to be skin cancer-preventive agents, albeit by several different mechanisms. Here, we assessed whether these agents sho...
Comparison of White Tea, Green Tea, Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, and Caffeine as Inhibitors of PhIP-Induced Colonic
Comparison of White Tea, Green Tea, Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate, and Caffeine as Inhibitors of PhIP-Induced Colonic Aberrant Crypts
There is growing interest in the possible health benefits of tea. We reported previously on the inhibition by white tea of 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP)-induced colonic a...
