Repression of androgen receptor in prostate cancer cells by phenethyl isothiocyanate [PDF]
Prostate cancer usually progresses to androgen refractory after an initial anti-androgen treatment. The androgen receptor (AR) is a pivotal factor for the androgen-mediated growth and maintenance of the prostate. Abnormality of the AR, such as overexpression has been postulated to be related to the hormone independent growth of the cancer.

Exploiting metabolic adaptations to overcome dabrafenib treatment resistance in melanoma cells
We show that dabrafenib‐resistant melanoma cells undergo mitochondrial remodeling, leading to elevated respiration and ROS production balanced by stronger antioxidant defenses. This altered redox state promotes survival despite mitochondrial damage but renders resistant cells highly vulnerable to ROS‐inducing compounds such as PEITC, highlighting redox

Cloning and Characterization of a Biotic-Stress-Inducible Glutathione Transferase from Phaseolus vulgaris [PDF]
Glutathione transferases (GSTs, EC 2.5.1.18) are ubiquitous proteins in plants that play important roles in stress tolerance and in the detoxification of toxic chemicals and metabolites.

Taste and flavour perceptions of glucosinolates, isothiocyanates, and related compounds [PDF]
Brassicaceae plants are renowned for their taste, aroma and trigeminal characteristics; predominantly bitter taste, sulfurous aroma and pungency. Compounds responsible for these sensations include the glucosinolates (GSLs) and their hydrolysis products ...

Cancer is a complex tumor system consisting of tumor cells, immune effector cells, and all the matrix components. The intricate interactions among cells and molecular signaling pathways in this microenvironment jointly drive tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis, and significantly influence the efficacy of cancer treatment. Meanwhile, the treatment of

Phenethyl isothiocyanate inhibits STAT3 activation in prostate cancer cells [PDF]
AbstractThis study was undertaken to investigate the mechanism by which phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a natural compound from cruciferous vegetables, exhibits antitumor effect on prostate cancer cells. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, Western blot, gene transfer, and reporter assays were used to test the effects of PEITC on the growth and IL6/JAK ...
