Prostate cancer: Resveratrol and apoptotic proteins enhance radiosensitivity

摘要

Perform and granzyme B, two apoptotic proteins primarily expressed in lymphocytes, are also expressed in prostate cancer cells where they are upregulated in response to treatment with resveratrol, a stilbenoid found in grapes and peanuts. These data could explain the synergistic effect of resveratrol and radiation therapy on cell death, according to a study published in the Journal of Andrology.
