Cruciferous vegetables and cervical cancer

   Posted by Chantel Martiromo,  Article By Kyle J. Norton  

Cruciferous vegetables are the group of  vegetables belonging to the family Brassicaceae, including cauliflower, cabbage, cress, bok choy, broccoli etc.
Cervical cancer is defined as a condition of the abnormal growth of the cells in the  cervix tissues.

The effects
Evidences of inhibition of tumors and the growth of several types of cultured human cancer cells of Isothiocyanates, a natural phytochamincal found in cruciferous vegetables has been confirmed in animal models. The study of inhibitory effects of BITC and PEITC on metastatic potential of highly metastatic human lung cancer L9981 cells, showed that both benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) and beta-phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), derived from Isothiocyanates inhibited L9981 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner, by reduced migration and invasion of L9981 cell, regulating metastasis-related gene expression and inhibition of Akt/NFkappaB pathway which plays an important role in regulating viral replication, autoimmune diseases, the inflammatory response, tumorigenesis and apoptosis. Other study suggested that BITC and PEITC also suppressed the metastasis potential of highly metastatic lung cancer cells by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, via targeting the MAPK/AP-1 pathway.
