Quercetin mediates preferential degradation of oncogenic Ras and causes autophagy in Ha- RAS -transformed human colon cells
5 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
Several food polyphenols act as chemopreventers by reducing the incidence of many types of cancer, especially in colon epithelia. In this study, we have investigated whether the flavonoid quercetin can modulate cell proliferation and survival by targeting key molecules and/or biological processes responsible for tumor cell properties. The effect of quercetin on the expression of Ras oncoproteins was specifically...
