TQ, Thymoquinone: Click to Expand ⟱
Features: Anti-oxidant, anti-tumor
Thymoquinone is a bioactive compound found in the seeds of Nigella sativa, commonly known as black seed or black cumin.
Pathways:
-Cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, ROS generation in cancer cells
-inhibit the activation of NF-κB, Suppress the PI3K/Akt signaling cascade
-Inhibit angiogenic factors such as VEGF, MMPs
-Inhibit HDACs, UHRF1, and DNMTs

-Note half-life 3-6hrs.
BioAv low oral bioavailability due to its lipophilic nature. Note refridgeration of Black seed oil improves the stability of TQ.
DIY: ~1 part lecithin : 2–3 parts black seed oil : 4–5 parts warm water. (chat ai)

Type:
Cyclin E regulates multiple downstream molecules, such as the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB1) and the transcription factor E2F.
Cyclin E is a prognostic marker in breast cancer, its altered expression increased with the increasing stage and grade of the tumor.
Cyclin E is a regulatory protein that plays a critical role in the cell cycle, particularly in the transition from the G1 phase to the S phase. Its expression levels can significantly influence cancer progression and patient prognosis.

Cyclin E expression is frequently elevated in various cancers and is generally associated with poor prognosis. Its role in promoting cell cycle progression makes it a potential biomarker for tumor aggressiveness and patient outcomes.

- in-vitro, Lung, H446
tumCV↓, TQ reduced cell viability, induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, depleted ROS, and altered protein expression in associated signaling pathways.
TumCCA↑,
ROS↓, With regards to ROS in the current study, TQ dose-dependently decreased intracellular ROS levels in all SCLC cells except H446 cells upon 24-hour treatment with TQ.
CycB↑, TQ induced upregulation of cyclin B1 and cyclin D3 in H69-adherent and H446 cells, respectively. Cyclins A2, E1, and cdc2 were downregulated, while cyclin D3 was upregulated in H841-adherent cells

antiOx↑, TQ acted as an antioxidant.
PARP↓, TQ downregulated intratumoral PARP
NRF2↓, TQ exerts its antioxidative effect by upregulating nuclear protein nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), hence amplifying antioxidant response element (ARE) expression.
ARE/EpRE↑,
eff↑, To confirm that the antioxidative action of TQ is anti-survival for cells, H841 cells were employed as a model and treated with NAC. NAC confirmed that ROS depletion led to a decrease in the cell viability of SCLC cells.
