Resveratrol modulates gene expression associated with apoptosis, proliferation and cell cycle in cells with mutated human c-Ha-Ras, but does not alter c-Ha-Ras mRNA or protein expression.

Abstract excerpt

An accumulating body of evidence suggests that resveratrol can inhibit carcinogenesis through antiproliferative and apoptotic effects. One proposed mechanism for this is the modulation of genes, for example, Ras and p53, frequently associated with human cancer. To test the effect of resveratrol on gene expression, we used the WR-21 cell line because it contains a mutated human c-Ha-ras gene. Cells at > or =70%...
