Eat more‘green’ or eat‘ifve a day’ is one of the most important healthy lifestyle behaviours in the 21 century. Aiming to ifght cancer effectively, more than half patients use vitamins or herbs concurrently with conventional anticancer treatment. Flavonoids or polyphenols existing in vegetables, fruits and green tea are common plant pigments with antioxidant properties and considered acting as cancer preventing or anti-cancer agents. Recently it was found that some lfavonoids and vitamin C in diet or supplements have antagonistic effect with the anti-cancer drug bortezomib. Bortezomib is a speciifc inhibitor for proteasome and is currently used for treatment of relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Despite its successful rates in treating multiple myeloma and other solid tumors, it is unable to kill leukemic cells in the blood. It was recently revealed that some lfavonoids and vitamin C present in green leaves and green teas in the blood can neutralize bortezomib by directly interaction between two chemicals. Here we summarize why dietary lfavonoids should be avoided in patients who take bortezomib as chemotherapeutic drug.

JAK/STAT信号转导途径活化和Mcl-1表达上调介导IL-6在人骨髓瘤细胞系XG-7上的凋亡抑制效应
背景和目的:IL-6能够抑制多种因素诱发的骨髓瘤细胞凋亡反应,在此过程中涉及到胞浆内一系列信号蛋白分子的参与.本研究旨在确定能够介导IL-6在人骨髓瘤细胞系XG-7上凋亡抑制效应的Bcl-2家族抗凋亡蛋白(Bcl-2,Bcl-xL,Mcl-1)和IL-6信号转导途径(JAK/STAT、Ras/MAPK、PI-3K/Akt途径).方法:采用碘化丙腚(PI)染色和流式细胞术分析XG-7细胞的凋亡情况;采用免疫印迹方法检测Bcl-2家族分子在XG-7细胞中的表达情况;分别采用针对JAK/STAT、Ras/MAPK和PI-3K/Akt途径的特异性抑制剂AG490、PD98059和LY294002处理XG-7细胞,从而确定哪条信号转导途径能够介导IL-6在XG-7细胞上的凋亡抑制效应.结果:IL-6能够抑制XG-7细胞凋亡,同时上调Bcl-2家族抗凋亡蛋白Mcl-1表达.AG490处理的XG-7细胞中Mcl-1表达上调被明显抑制;但PD98059和LY294002处理后对Mcl-1表达没有显著影响.结论:IL-6在XG-7细胞上的凋亡抑制效应是通过上调Mcl-1表达和激活JAK/STAT途径而介导的,与Ras/MAPK和PI-3K/Akt途径的活化状态无关.
