Synergism between apple procyanidins and lysosomotropic drugs: potential in chemoprevention.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Procyanidins are apple constituents with potential in colon cancer chemoprevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human colon cancer derived metastatic cells (SW620), growing under standardized conditions, were exposed to procyanidins and lysosomotropic compounds. Growth, apoptosis and lysosomal integrity was determined using published methods. RESULTS Lysosomotropic drugs (MDL 72527, phenylalanine methylester and chloroquine) amplified procyanidin-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in SW620 cells at non-cytotoxic concentrations. The improved toxicity of the drug combinations relies primarily on the enhancement of lysosomal membrane permeability. CONCLUSION Combinations with non-toxic concentrations of lysosomotropic compounds improve the anti-carcinogenic properties of apple procyanidins.

Apple procyanidins have chemopreventive properties in a model of colon cancer, they affect intracellular signalling pathways, and trigger apoptosis in a human adenocarcinoma-derived metastatic cell line (SW620). In the present study we investigated relationships between procyanidin-induced alterations in polyamine metabolism and apoptotic effects. Apple procyanidins diminish the activities of o...

Apples and their derivatives are rich in phytochemicals, including flavonoids (catechins, flavonols, quercetin) and phenolic acids (quercetin glycosides, catechin, epicatechin, procyanidins), vitamins, and fibers, that confer an important antioxidant property. Chemoprevention is defined by the use of natural or synthetic agents to interfere with the progression, reverse, or inhibit carcinogenes...
