| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is suggested that the antitumor and antimetastatic actions of esculetin (6,7-dihydroxycourmarin) among dihydroxycoumarins may be due to the regulated activation of tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) by M2 macrophage differentiation (inhibition of phosphorylation of Stat3) in the tumor microenvironment and/or G1 arrest in tumor cells. Xanthangelol and 4-hydroxyderricin isolated from Angelica keiskei root might be also attributed to the regulated activated TAM through the inhibition of activation (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 production) and differentiation (inhibition of phosphorylation of Stat3) of M2 macrophages in the tumor microenvironment. The antitumor and antimetastaic action to lung by resveratrol (3,4’,5-trihydroxystilbene) and the related synthetic dihydroxystilbenes (2,3-, 3,5- and 4,4’-dihydroxystilbene) were partly due to antilymphangiogenesis through the regulation of M2 macrophage activation and differentiation in TAMs.
