摘要

Population and experimental studies have implicated dietary components in the prevention of prostate cancer. In particular, consumption of a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, and legumes is associated with a decreased risk for prostate and other forms of cancer. Hence, there is much interest in pursuing the development of food-derived products or compounds as chemopreventive agents due to their expected safety and the fact that they are not perceived as medicine per se. However, the moleculartargets of phytochemicals, as well as the mechanisms that contribute to their beneficial effects on cancer, remain elusive. Further elucidation of the molecular targets, i.e. molecular signatures and mechanisms, would be important in understanding theircancer preventive properties. In our pursuit of these important and complex issues, we have taken two approaches to address these questions. One approach described in this report examined the effects of phytochemicals on specific pathways such as apoptosis; the other used DNA microarray analysis as a global gene expression profiling tool. Our work on resveratrol, a grape derived candidate cancer protective agent, is highlighted. Resveratrol is a polyphenol (3, 4, 5 -trihydroxystilbene) categorized as aphytoalexin found principally in the skin of grapes, peanuts, and other plant species. Recent studies attributed a variety of health benefits to consumption of foods containing resveratrol, including protection against cancers, cardiovascular disease, and aging. However, despite works suggesting that resveratrol showed promise as a prostate cancer chemopreventive agent, the in vivo effects of resveratrol, as well as the mechanisms underlying those effects on prostate cancer, remain largely unknown.
