Protection of Dietary Polyphenols against Oral Cancer

Abstract: Oral cancer represents a health burden worldwide with approximate 275,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Its poor prognosis is due to local tumor invasion and frequent lymph node metastasis. Better understanding and development of novel treatments and chemo-preventive approaches for the preventive and therapeutic intervention of this type of cancer are necessary. Recent development of dietary polyphenols as cancer preventives and therapeutic agents is of great interest due to their antioxidant and anti-carcinog… Show more

“…Overcoming drug resistance by enhancing apoptosis of precursor and tumor cells is a key event for cancer prevention and therapy [22]. In this context, bioactive food components [23][24][25][26] have been demonstrated for induction of apoptosis and play an emerging role in cancer therapy. One mechanism is the activation of endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) [27,28] in OSCC [29][30][31][32][33], with subsequent apoptosis in cancer cells.…”

“…As suggested for multi-step carcinogenesis [2] it remains unclear whether phytochemicals are standardized effective for chemoprevention [2,25,26,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] in the treatment of precursor lesions or OSCC development, but they provide a clear rational for further studies in the carcinogenesis of OSCC [2,[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”

“…These hot drinks are rich sources of polyphenols, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), gallocatechin (EGC), (−)-epicatechin gallae (ECG), (−)-catechin gallate (CG), (−)-epicatechin (EC), and (+)-catechin (C) [54]. These polyphenols seem to play an important role in the reduction of cell growth, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of angiogenesis in oral cancer cell lines [55,56]. A main difference between the Prudent/healthy, the Mediterranean diet and the High Protein dietary pattern in this study is the fact that the latter included red meat.…”

“…Knowledge of polyphenol functions, bioavailability, metabolism, and significance to health has been frequently reviewed , as has their relation with apoptosis , inflammation , obesity , and the prevention of chronic disorders such as cardiovascular diseases , cancer , and diabetes . The effects of some polyphenols on angiogenesis have also been studied over the last years since angiogenesis is modified in several pathologies (cancer, diabetic retinopathy, chronic wounds, or stroke, etc.…”
