Quercetin Induces p53-Independent Apoptosis in Human Prostate Cancer Cells by Modulating Bcl-2-Related Proteins: A Possible Mediation by IGFBP-3
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Quercetin, a flavonoid found in onion, grapes, green vegetables, etc., has been shown to possess potent antiproliferative effects against various malignant cells. We report insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) as an effector of quercetin-induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer cell lines in a p53-independent manner. We evaluated the production of IGFBP-3 in quercetin-treated cells. Apoptosis...
