Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we found the novel anti-cancer activities of food components via the inhibition of heat shock proteins. First, it has been clarified that resveratrol and/or capsaicin stop the cancer cell cycle by suppressing the expression of Hsp90, consequently leading to the inhibition of cancer cell growth. Second, we have found that curcumin and/or hesperetin exhibit the anti-cancer activity by inducing the apoptosis in cancer cells via the inhibition of Hsp70 or 14-3-3 protein.
