The role of phytochemicals in preventive and therapeutic medicine is a major area of scientific research. Several studies have illustrated the mechanistic roles of phytochemicals in Nrf2 transcriptional activation. The present study aims to examine the importance of the transcription factor Nrf2 by
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PITC) is the hydrolysis product of the glucosinolate gluconasturtiin in cruciferous vegetables. This study was conducted to determine whether PITC inhibits 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in the mouse ear. Topical application of 5 nmol of TPA
OBJECTIVE
Accumulating evidence from epidemiologic and clinical studies indicates that chronic inflammatory disorders harbor an increased risk of cancer development. Curcumin (CUR) has been strongly linked to the anti-inflammatory effect. On the other hand, isothiocyanates such as sulforaphane (SFN)
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of the phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) in Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathways.
METHODS
To evaluate the cytotoxic nature of PEITC in RAW 264.7 cells, cytotoxicity was determined using the MTS cell viability assay.
Glucosinolates are a group of sulfur-containing glycosides found in many plant species, including cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. Accumulating evidence increasingly supports the beneficial effects of dietary glucosinolates on overall health,
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) affects approximately 1% of the total world population. Despite incessant research and development of new therapeutic agents, management of RA is still a troublesome affair. Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is an epigenetic regulator which play important role in pathogenesis
Although microRNAs (miRNA) have extensively been investigated in cancer research, less attention has been paid to their regulation by carcinogens and/or protective factors in early stages of the carcinogenesis process. The present study was designed to evaluate the modulation of mRNA expression as
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) is an aromatic isothiocyanate present in cruciferous vegetables. Several studies have shown that isothiocyanates regulate various intracellular signaling pathways, and thereby show anti-inflammatory and detoxifying activities. However, little is known about the
We have previously reported alleviation of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis signs in phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC)-treated mice. Here we investigated chemoprotective activities of PEITC in mice with Azoxymethane-DSS induced colitis associated colon carcinogenesis. We also
Cigarette smoke contains relatively large quantities of volatile organic toxicants or carcinogens such as benzene, acrolein, and crotonaldehyde. Among their detoxification products are mercapturic acids formed from glutathione conjugation, catalyzed in part by glutathione S-transferases (GST). A
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC)(1) and benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), naturally occurring constituents of cruciferous vegetables, have been reported to exert inhibitory effects against development of tobacco-specific carcinogen-induced lung tumors and are regarded as promising chemopreventive agents
Temporal growth of tumor xenografts in mice on a control diet was compared to mice supplemented daily with 3 µmol/g of the cancer preventive compound phenethyl isothiocyanate. Phenethyl isothiocyanate decreased the rate of tumor growth. The effects of phenethyl isothiocyanate on tumor growth were
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is irreversibly inhibited via covalent modification by phenethyl isothiocyanate, a naturally occurring compound with anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. The structure of the modified protein obtained from X-ray diffraction data to 1.64 Å resolution is
OBJECTIVE
Transcriptomic analysis was performed to evaluate the differential gene expression profiles of Setd7 knockdown (KD) and the effects of phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) in human prostate cancer (PCa) LNCaP cells.
METHODS
RNA isolated from wild-type and Setd7-KD LNCaP cells in the presence
Phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), a constituent of many cruciferous vegetables, is well known to have versatile physiological activities, including chemopreventive effects. On the other hand, its anti-inflammatory effects are poorly reported. Nitric oxide (NO) is associated with a wide variety of
