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. -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?.

Biological process in which epithelial cells lose their cell polarity and cell-cell adhesion properties and gain mesenchymal traits, such as increased motility and invasiveness. This process is pivotal during embryogenesis and wound healing. Hh signaling pathway is able to regulate the EMT. Snail, E-cadherin and N-cadherin, key components of EMT; EMT-related factors, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin; The hallmark of EMT is the upregulation of N-cadherin followed by the downregulation of E-cadherin. EMT is regulated by various signaling pathways, including TGF-β, Wnt, Notch, and Hedgehog pathways. Transcription factors such as Snail, Slug, Twist, and ZEB play critical roles in repressing epithelial markers (like E-cadherin) and promoting mesenchymal markers (like N-cadherin and vimentin). EMT is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness, enhanced migratory and invasive capabilities, and resistance to apoptosis. |
