| Abstract: OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of two abundant dietary supplements, quercetin and vitamin C on some factors involved in metastasis and proliferation of prostate cancer, which are resistant to conventional chemotherapies in late stages. BACKGROUND: Bone and brain are two common sites of metastases in prostate cancer, nevertheless the factors involved in their metastatic pathways are not well understood. METHODS: The effect of quercetin (75µM) and vitamin C (100 µM) on CXCR4, CXCR7 chemokine receptors, α4, α5 and β1 integrins, ki-67 proliferation marker and Vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF was evaluated using Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-qPCR). RESULTS: The effect of quercetin and vitamin C alone was different on PC3 and DU145 prostate cancer cell lines, but sequential combination reduced significantly the expression of CXCR and CXCR7 chemokine receptors, α4, α5 and β1 integrin subunits, VEGF and Ki-67 proliferation markers in PC3 and DU145 cell lines. CONCLUSION: Our results indicated the beneficial effect of quercetin and vitamin C on prostate cancer cells with different metastatic sites and their differential response to the treatment which in turn may lead us to reach suitable therapeutic outcomes to combat cancer (Fig. 3, Ref. 36). |
