RES, Resveratrol: Click to Expand ⟱
Features: polyphenol
Found in red grapes and products made with grapes.
Resveratrol is a polyphenol compound found in various plant species, including grapes, berries, and peanuts.
• Anti-inflammatory effects, Antioxidant effects:
- Antiplatelet aggregation for stroke prevention
- BioAvialability use piperine
- some sources may use Japanese knotweed roots (Reynoutria Japonica - root) as source which might contain Emodin (laxative)
-known as Nrf2 activator, both in cancer and normal cells. Which raises controversity of use in ROS↑ therapies. Interestingly there are reports of NRF2↑ and ROS↑ in cancer cells. This raises the question of if it is a chemosensitizer. However other reports indicate NRF2 droping with Res, indicating it maybe a chemosenstizer.
- RES is also considered to be them most effective natural SIRT1↑ -activating compound (STACs).

However, in the presence of certain metals, such as copper or iron, resveratrol can undergo a process called Fenton reaction, which can lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The pro-oxidant effects of resveratrol are often observed at high concentrations, typically above 50-100 μM, and in the presence of certain metals or other pro-oxidant agents. In contrast, the antioxidant effects of resveratrol are typically observed at lower concentrations, typically below 10-20 μM.

Clinical trials have used doses ranging from 150 mg to 5 grams per day. Lower doses (< 1 g/day) are often well-tolerated, but higher doses might be necessary for therapeutic effects and can be associated with side effects.

-Note half-life 1-3 hrs?.
BioAv poor: min 5uM/L required for chemopreventive effects, but 25mg Oral only yeilds 20nM. co-administration of piperine

- Selectivity: Cancer Cells vs Normal Cells

Rank Pathway / Axis Cancer Cells Normal Cells Label Primary Interpretation Notes
1 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) ↑ ROS (dose- & context-dependent) ↓ ROS / buffered Conditional Driver Biphasic redox modulation Resveratrol can act as a pro-oxidant in cancer cells while functioning as an antioxidant in normal cells
2 Mitochondrial integrity / intrinsic apoptosis ↓ ΔΨm; ↑ caspase activation ↔ preserved Driver Execution of intrinsic apoptosis Mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis follow ROS elevation in cancer cells
3 SIRT1 / AMPK axis ↑ AMPK; context-dependent SIRT1 modulation ↑ SIRT1 / ↑ AMPK Driver Metabolic stress signaling Resveratrol modulates energy-sensing pathways affecting survival and metabolism
4 PI3K → AKT → mTOR axis ↓ AKT / ↓ mTOR ↔ adaptive suppression Secondary Growth and anabolic inhibition Downregulation of growth signaling contributes to cytostasis and apoptosis sensitization
5 NF-κB signaling ↓ NF-κB activation ↓ inflammatory NF-κB tone Secondary Suppression of survival and inflammatory transcription NF-κB inhibition contributes to reduced proliferation and invasion
6 Cell cycle regulation ↑ G1/S or G2/M arrest ↔ largely spared Phenotypic Cytostatic growth control Cell-cycle arrest reflects upstream signaling disruption
7 HIF-1α / VEGF axis ↓ HIF-1α; ↓ VEGF ↔ minimal Secondary Anti-angiogenic pressure Interference with hypoxia-driven adaptation and angiogenesis


P450, cytochrome P450 (CYP) family: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type:
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) family includes many isoenzymes that play key roles in metabolizing endogenous substances (like hormones) and xenobiotics (including drugs and toxins). Changes in the expression of these enzymes in various cancers can affect carcinogen activation, drug metabolism, and overall tumor biology, influencing both cancer risk and prognosis.

CYP1B1
– Frequently overexpressed in several cancers including breast, ovarian, prostate, and colorectal cancers.
– Its expression is often low in normal tissues, making it a potential target for selective cancer therapies.

2. CYP3A4 and CYP3A5
These enzymes are highly expressed in the liver, but their expression is also observed in extrahepatic tissues.
– In cancer, CYP3A enzymes can be variably expressed; for instance, CYP3A4 may be upregulated in some liver cancers but downregulated in others.

3. CYP2E1
– CYP2E1 is expressed in the liver and extrahepatic tissues.
– Elevated CYP2E1 activity can lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), contributing to DNA damage and cancer progression.

4. CYP19A1 (Aromatase)
– Aromatase converts androgens to estrogens and is expressed in adipose tissue as well as in certain tumors such as breast cancer.
– Its local expression in breast tumors can increase estrogen levels, promoting hormone-dependent tumor growth.

5. CYP2C Family (e.g., CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C19)
– These enzymes are involved in metabolizing various drugs and are expressed in the liver and intestines.
– Their expression levels can be altered in different tumor types, potentially affecting drug metabolism.

CYP450 enzymes are a large family with diverse roles in cancer biology.
• Their expression in cancers (e.g., CYP1B1, CYP3A4/5, CYP2E1, CYP19A1) has been linked to both the development and progression of tumors, as well as influencing responses to therapy.
