β‐Cryptoxanthin suppresses the growth of immortalized human bronchial epithelial cells and non‐small‐cell lung cancer cells and up‐regulates retinoic acid receptor β expression

Abstract excerpt

Recent findings of an inverse association between beta-cryptoxanthin and lung cancer risk in several observational epidemiologic studies suggest that beta-cryptoxanthin could potentially act as a chemopreventive agent against lung cancer. However, the biological activity of beta-cryptoxanthin and molecular mechanism(s) by which beta-cryptoxanthin affects lung tumourigenesis have not been studied. In the present...
