Molecular mechanism of the chemopreventive effect of resveratrol.
نویسنده
چکیده
Chemoprevention is a promising approach to control human cancer. Resveratrol has been shown to have a potent chemopreventive effect in multiple carcinogenesis models. However, the precise mechanism explaining its anti-carcinogenic effect is not clear. This review summarizes recent studies from our laboratory on the mechanisms of resveratrol's effects. In JB6 cells, resveratrol was found to induce apoptosis and inhibit tumor promoter-induced cell transformation. We also found that resveratrol-induced activation of p53 and resveratrol-induced apoptosis occurred through a p53-dependent pathway. The MAP kinases, ERKs, JNKs, or p38 kinases, are involved in resveratrol-induced activation of p53 and apoptosis.

Effect of resveratrol on SNARE proteins expression and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of diabetic rats
Objective(s): Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex proteins are involved in membrane trafficking. The expression of isoforms of SNAP-23, syntaxin-4, and VAMP-2 is significantly done in skeletal muscles; they control GLUT4 trafficking. It is believed that type 2 diabetes could be caused by the modifications in the express...
متن کاملEffect of Resveratrol Supplementation on the SNARE Proteins Expression in Adipose Tissue of Stroptozotocin-Nicotinamide Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats
Background: Glucose uptake by muscles and fat cells is carried out by the GLUT4 system. Isoforms of the SNAP23, syntaxin-4 and VAMP-2 play an important role in regulating GLUT-4 trafficking and fusion in adipocytes. The changes of SNARE proteins levels and thus impaired GLUT-4 displacement can be one of the etiological causes of type 2 diabetes.Due to changes in the expression of these proteins...
