A Deadly Liaison between Oxidative Injury and p53 Drives Methyl-Gallate-Induced Autophagy and Apoptosis in HCT116 Colon Cancer Cells

Antonietta Notaro et al.

Summary: Methyl gallate (MG), a gallotannin found in plants, showed potential as an anti-tumor phytomolecule for colon cancer treatment. It reduced the viability of HCT116 colon cancer cells but had no effect on differentiated Caco-2 cells. MG induced early ROS generation and ER stress, leading to autophagy and apoptotic cell death. The increase in p53 played a crucial role in the mechanism, which was tightly linked to oxidative injury.

Essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare subsp. piperitum fruits exerts an anti-tumor effect in triple-negative breast cancer cells

Marianna Lauricella et al.

Summary: The study investigates the biological activity and mechanism of action of the essential oil from Foeniculum vulgare subsp. piperitum fruits (FVPEO) in breast cancer cells. FVPEO exhibits strong anticancer effects by inhibiting cell growth and inducing apoptosis. The cytotoxic effect of FVPEO is associated with an increase in reactive oxygen species and stress-related proteins.
