癌症预防目前被设想为一种基于分子的方法,以预防癌前阶段的致癌作用。即,发育不良和原位癌。癌症是全球第二大死亡原因,预计到2040年将增长61%以上。癌症进展途径的详细探索,包括NF-kβ信号通路,Wnt-B连环蛋白信号通路,JAK-STAT途径,TNF-α介导的途径,MAPK/mTOR通路,以及参与癌症发展的凋亡和血管生成途径和效应分子,已经在手稿中讨论过了。通过使用植物分子的分子方法对这些效应分子的关键评估可以与癌症形成及其转移相交。操纵效应分子,如NF-kβ,SOCS,β-连环蛋白,巴克斯,BAK,VEGF,STAT,Bcl2,p53,caspases,CDKs在抑制肿瘤生长及其扩散方面发挥了重要作用。在过去的几十年中,从天然来源获得的植物来源的次生代谢物因其预防癌症的潜力而被广泛研究。丁香酚,茴香脑,辣椒素,血根碱,EGCG,6-姜辣素,和白藜芦醇是这种有趣的先导分子的一些例子,并在手稿中提到。这项工作试图提出一种全面的方法来理解癌症进展途径及其使用效应草药分子的管理。还强调了不同植物代谢物及其慢性毒性谱在调节癌症发展途径中的作用。
Cancer prevention is currently envisioned as a molecular-based approach to prevent carcinogenesis in pre-cancerous stages, i.e., dysplasia and carcinoma in situ. Cancer is the second-leading cause of mortality worldwide, and a more than 61% increase is expected by 2040. A detailed exploration of cancer progression pathways, including the NF-kβ signaling pathway, Wnt-B catenin signaling pathway, JAK-STAT pathway, TNF-α-mediated pathway, MAPK/mTOR pathway, and apoptotic and angiogenic pathways and effector molecules involved in cancer development, has been discussed in the manuscript. Critical evaluation of these effector molecules through molecular approaches using phytomolecules can intersect cancer formation and its metastasis. Manipulation of effector molecules like NF-kβ, SOCS, β-catenin, BAX, BAK, VEGF, STAT, Bcl2, p53, caspases, and CDKs has played an important role in inhibiting tumor growth and its spread. Plant-derived secondary metabolites obtained from natural sources have been extensively studied for their cancer-preventing potential in the last few decades. Eugenol, anethole, capsaicin, sanguinarine, EGCG, 6-gingerol, and resveratrol are some examples of such interesting lead molecules and are mentioned in the manuscript. This work is an attempt to put forward a comprehensive approach to understanding cancer progression pathways and their management using effector herbal molecules. The role of different plant metabolites and their chronic toxicity profiling in modulating cancer development pathways has also been highlighted.
