Therapeutic potential of curcumin in human prostate cancer. III. Curcumin inhibits proliferation, induces apoptosis, and inhibits angiogenesis of LNCaP prostate cancer cells in vivo.
TL;DR: Curcumin (turmeric), used as a dietary ingredient and as a natural anti‐inflammatory agent in India and other Southeast Asian countries, was shown to decrease the proliferative potential and induce the apoptosis potential of both androgen‐dependent and androgens‐independent prostate cancer cells in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Levels of Glutaminase II Pathway Enzymes in Normal and Cancerous Prostate Suggest a Role in 'Glutamine Addiction'.
TL;DR: The demonstration of a prominent glutaminase II pathway in prostate cancer cells and increased expression of the pathway with increasing aggressiveness of tumor cells provides a new perspective on ‘glutamine addiction’ in cancers.
