Type:
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that plays a critical role in the proper folding, stabilization, and function of many proteins, including those involved in cell signaling, cell cycle regulation, and stress responses.
-Hsp90 interacts with a variety of client proteins that are often mutated or overexpressed in cancer. These include oncogenes (like HER2, BRAF, and AKT) and tumor suppressor proteins (like p53).
-Hsp90 is often overexpressed in cancer cells, which can help them survive under stressful conditions, such as those found in the tumor microenvironment. This overexpression is associated with poor prognosis in several types of cancer.
-HSPs, particularly HSP90, are known to stabilize many proteins that drive cancer progression (oncoproteins).

3343- QC,    Quercetin, a Flavonoid with Great Pharmacological Capacity
- Review, Var, NA - Review, AD, NA - Review, Arthritis, NA
*antiOx↑, Quercetin has a potent antioxidant capacity, being able to capture reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), and reactive chlorine species (ROC),which act as reducing agents by chelating transition-metal ions.
*ROS↓, Quercetin is a potent scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting the organism against oxidative stress
*angioG↓,
*Inflam↓, anti-inflammatory properties; the ability to protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, and the ability to inhibit angiogenesis;
*BioAv↓, It is known that the bioavailability of quercetin is usually relatively low (0.17–7 μg/mL), less than 10% of what is consumed, due to its poor water solubility (hydrophobicity), chemical stability, and absorption profile.
*Half-Life↑, their slow elimination since their half-life ranges from 11 to 48 h, which could favor their accumulation in plasma after repeated intakes
*GSH↑, Animal and cell studies have demonstrated that quercetin induces the synthesis of GSH
*SOD↑, increase in the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and GSH with quercetin pretreatment
*Catalase↑,
*Nrf1↑, quercetin accomplishes this process involves increasing the activity of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), enhancing its binding to the ARE, reducing its degradation
*BP↓, quercetin has been shown to inhibit ACE activity, reducing blood pressure
*cardioP↑, quercetin has positive effects on cardiovascular diseases
*IL10↓, Under the influence of quercetin, the levels of interleukin 10 (IL-10), IL-1β, and TNF-α were reduced.
*TNF-α↓,
*Aβ↓, quercetin’s ability to modulate the enzyme activity in clearing amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, a hallmark of AD pathology.
*GSK‐3β↓, quercetin can inhibit the activity of glycogen synthase kinase 3β,
*tau↓, thus reducing tau aggregation and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain
*neuroP↑,
*Pain↓, quercetin reduces pain and inflammation associated with arthritis
*COX2↓, quercetin included the inhibition of oxidative stress, production of cytokines such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and proteoglycan degradation, and activation of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) (Nrf2/HO-1)
*NRF2↑,
*HO-1↑,
*IL1β↓, Mechanisms included decreased levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-17, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)
*IL17↓,
*MCP1↓,
PKCδ↓, studies with human leukemia 60 (HL-60) cells report that concentrations between 20 and 30 µM are sufficient to exert an inhibitory effect on cytosolic PKC activity and membrane tyrosine protein kinase (TPK) activity.
ERK↓, 50 µM resulted in the blockade of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) pathway
BAX↓, higher doses (75–100 µM) were used, as these doses reduced the expression of proapoptotic factors such as Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and caspases 3 and 9
cMyc↓, induce apoptosis at concentrations of 80 µM and also causes a downregulation of cellular myelocytomatosis (c-myc) and Kirsten RAt sarcoma (K-ras) oncogenes
KRAS↓,
ROS↓, compound’s antioxidative effect changes entirely to a prooxidant effect at high concentrations, which induces selective cytotoxicity
selectivity↑, On the other hand, when noncancerous cells are exposed to quercetin, it exerts cytoprotective effects;
tumCV↓, decrease cell viability in human glioma cultures of the U-118 MG cell line as well as an increase in death by apoptosis and cell arrest at the G2 checkpoint of the cell cycle.
Apoptosis↑,
TumCCA↑,
eff↑, quercetin combined with doxorubicin can induce multinucleation of invasive tumor cells, downregulate P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression, increase cell sensitivity to doxorubicin,
P-gp↓,
eff↑, resveratrol, quercetin, and catechin can effectively block the cell cycle and reduce cell proliferation in vivo
eff↑, cotreatment with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) inhibited catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) activity, decreasing COMT protein content and thereby arresting the cell cycle of PC-3 human prostate cancer cells
eff↑, synergistic treatment of tamoxifen and quercetin was also able to inhibit prostate tumor formation by regulating angiogenesis
eff↑, coadministration of 2.5 μM of EGCG, genistein, and quercetin suppressed the cell proliferation of a prostate cancer cell line (CWR22Rv1) by controlling androgen receptor and NAD (P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) expression
CycB/CCNB1↓, It can also downregulate cyclin B1 and cyclin-dependent kinase-1 (CDK-1),
CDK1↓,
CDK4↓, quercetin causes a decrease in cyclins D1/Cdk4 and E/Cdk2 and an increase in p21 in vascular smooth muscle cells
CDK2↓,
TOP2↓, quercetin is known to be a potent inhibitor of topoisomerase II (TopoII), a cell cycle-associated enzyme necessary for DNA replication
Cyt‑c↑, quercetin can induce apoptosis (cell death) through caspase-3 and caspase-9 activation, cytochrome c release, and poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage
cl‑PARP↑,
MMP↓, quercetin induces the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, leading to the activation of the caspase cascade and cleavage of PARP.
HSP70/HSPA5↓, apoptotic effects of quercetin may result from the inhibition of HSP kinases, followed by the downregulation of HSP-70 and HSP-90 protein expression
HSP90↓,
MDM2↓, (MDM2), an onco-protein that promotes p53 destruction, can be inhibited by quercetin
RAS↓, quercetin can prevent Ras proteins from being expressed. In one study, quercetin was found to inhibit the expression of Harvey rat sarcoma (H-Ras), K-Ras, and neuroblastoma rat sarcoma (N-Ras) in human breast cancer cells,
eff↑, there was a substantial difference in EMT markers such as vimentin, N-cadherin, Snail, Slug, Twist, and E-cadherin protein expression in response to AuNPs-Qu-5, inhibiting the migration and invasion of MCF-7 and MDA-MB cells
