| Plant pigment (flavonoid) found in red wine, onions, green tea, apples and berries. Quercetin is thought to contribute to anticancer effects through several mechanisms: -Antioxidant Activity: -Induction of Apoptosis:modify Bax:Bcl-2 ratio -Anti-inflammatory Effects: -Cell Cycle Arrest: -Inhibition of Angiogenesis and Metastasis: (VEGF) Cellular Pathways: -PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway: central to cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. -MAPK/ERK Pathway: influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. -NF-κB Pathway: downregulate NF-κB -JAK/STAT Pathway: interfere with the activation of STAT3 -Apoptotic Pathways: intrinsic (mitochondrial) and extrinsic (death receptor-mediated) pathways Quercetin has been used at doses around 500–1000 mg per day Quercetin’s bioavailability from foods or standard supplements can be low. EMIQ bioavialability is about 3X that of Quercetin (Example Natural Factors brand) Isoquercitrin is high bioaviability and efficiacy but at this time does not seem available as supplement. -Note half-life 11 to 28 hours. BioAv low 1-10%, poor water-solubility, consuming with fat may improve bioavialability. also piperine or VitC. Pathways: - induce ROS production in cancer cells (higher dose). Typicallys Lowers ROS in normal cells(unless it is high dose?)or depends on Redox status?.

| Family of RAS proteins (KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS) have been well described to cause oncogenic transformation. - The expression and mutational status of RAS isoforms are critical in several cancers and are generally linked with a poorer prognosis when mutated. RAS is one of the most frequently activated oncogenic drivers in human cancer. Mutations lock RAS in its GTP-bound active state, making signaling: -Constitutive -Growth-factor independent -Resistant to normal feedback control Key framing: RAS is a true driver oncogene, not just an amplifier. Core Oncogenic Pathways Downstream of RAS RAS sits at the apex of multiple essential signaling cascades: a. MAPK Pathway (RAF–MEK–ERK) -Drives proliferation -Induces cell-cycle genes (Cyclin D, MYC, FOS/AP-1) -Supports invasion and differentiation blockade b. PI3K–AKT–mTOR -Promotes survival and metabolic reprogramming -Enhances resistance to apoptosis -Supports protein synthesis and growth c. RAL-GDS and Others -Cytoskeletal remodeling -Vesicle trafficking -Metastatic behavior Together, these create a multi-axis growth and survival program. |
