Prevention And Treatment

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. Green tea consumption is reported to play an important role in the prevention of carcinogenesis in many types of malignancies, including prostate cancer; however, epidemiological studies show conflicting results regarding these anti-cancer effects. In recent years, in addition to prevention, many investigators have shown the efficacy and safety of green tea polyphenols and combination therapies with green tea extracts and anti-cancer agents in in vivo and in vitro studies. Furthermore, numerous studies have revealed the molecular mechanisms of the anti-cancer effects of green tea extracts. We believe that improved understanding of the detailed pathological roles at the molecular level is important to evaluate the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer. Therefore, in this review, we present current knowledge regarding the anti-cancer effects of green tea extracts in the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer, with a particular focus on the molecular mechanisms of action, such as influencing tumor growth, apoptosis, androgen receptor signaling, cell cycle, and various malignant behaviors. Finally, the future direction for the use of green tea extracts as treatment strategies in patients with prostate cancer is introduced.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a huge number of deaths from 2020 to 2021; however, effective antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 are currently under development. Recent studies have demonstrated that green tea polyphenols, particularly EGCG, inhibit coronavirus enzymes as well as coronavirus replication in vitro. Herein, we examined the inhibitory effect of green tea polyphenols on coronavirus replication in a mouse model. We used epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and green tea polyphenols containing more than 60% catechin (GTP60) and human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2. Scanning electron microscopy analysis results showed that HCoV-OC43 infection resulted in virion particle production in infected cells. EGCG and GTP60 treatment reduced coronavirus protein and virus production in the cells. Finally, EGCG- and GTP60-fed mice exhibited reduced levels of coronavirus RNA in mouse lungs. These results demonstrate that green tea polyphenol treatment is effective in decreasing the level of coronavirus in vivo.

In Vitro Starch Digestibility

Starch digestibility may be affected by food microstructural changes, as well as by specific interactions with some biomolecules, such as soluble dietary fibers (SDFs). It is well-known that acrylamide (AA) is a toxic and potentially carcinogenic compound formed in starchy food products processed at temperatures above 120 °C. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the addition of SDF and green tea polyphenols (GTP) on AA formation and in vitro starch digestibility in baked starchy matrices. The formulations were prepared using gluten and wheat starch, ensuring ~40 ± 2% (wet basis, w.b.) moisture in the doughs. In some samples, 7.5% (dry basis, d.b.) of starch was replaced with inulin (IN), polydextrose (PD) or partially hydrolyzed guar gum (PHGG), and/or with GTP at 1% (d.b). Acrylamide was determined by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, and the in vitro starch digestibility using the Englyst method. The GTP was able to reduce AA content by ~48%, and a combination of IN-GTP allowed it to be reduced by up to ~64%, revealing the lowest rapidly available glucose content (~17 mg/g glucose). While a PD-GTP mixture reduced the AA content by around ~57% and gave the highest unavailable glucose fraction (~74 mg/g glucose) compared to the control. This study showed how functional ingredients could be used to develop successfully healthier starchy bakery foods.

Novel Approach

636 Background: Inhibition of EGFR represents an important field in cancer therapy.Skin rash is a common adverse reaction in patients receiving EGFR inhibitors. Nicotinamide has been shown to be an effective treatment for skin inflammation in various conditions, since nicotinamide inhibits IL-8 production through the NF-kB and MAPK pathways in an in vitro keratinocytes/P. acnes model of inflammation. Furthermore green tea polyphenols could be useful in attenuation of solar UVB light-induced oxidative stress-mediated and MAPK-caused skin disorders in humans.In this study we evaluated the effect of nicotinamide and green tea polyphenols on skin toxicity EGFRI related. Methods: Patients with skin toxicity induced by EGFRI were enrolled. They underwent a skin biopsy and skin samples for microbiological analyses at first presentation of skin toxicity (T0). Skin toxicity was assessed with NCI-CTACE,EGFR index and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) test. Therapy protocol consisted in topical application of moisturizing cream containing green tea polyphenols plus oral administration of nicotinamide 200 mg/die for 12 weeks. Topical application of 1% clindamycin gel and/or systemic administration of minocicline were provided in case of superbacterial infection. All treated patients were monitored for at least 12 weeks (T12), across three time points (T0,T6,T12). Results: 24 colorectal cancer patients receiving anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (cetuximab or panitumumab) and developing skin toxicity were treated by a multidisciplinary team including oncologists, dermatologists, a pathologist and a nurse. All the patients experienced a significant reduction of skin toxicity according to the NCI-CTACE and EGFR index (p<0.05). Papulo-pustular eruption and itching significantly improved after 6 weeks of treatment and erythema decreased after 12 weeks. A significative improvement of the global score and of DLQI was evident. No toxicity related to the treatment of skin toxicity was observed. Conclusions: Treatment with nicotinamide and green tea polyphenols represent a novel effective approach to manage skin toxicity caused by EGFRI.
