“Furthermore, EGCG enhances the efficacy of anti-glioma therapies, including irradiation, temozolomide, carmustine, cisplatin , tamoxifen, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand, but reduces the effect of bortezomib.”
“Our studies also corroborate previous observations that EGCG enhances sensitivity to cisplatin in multiple cancer types.”
“Using DNA repair assays and clonogenic survival assays, we show that EGCG can inhibit DNA repair and enhance cisplatin sensitivity in human cancer cells.”
“The green tea catechin, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), has gained significant attention as a potent adjuvant to enhance the antitumor efficacy of cisplatin while mitigating its harmful side effects.”
“ EGCG inhibits the rapid degradation of CTR1 induced by cDDP.”
“In the OVCAR3 ovarian cancer xenograft nude mice model, the combination of the lower concentration of cDDP and EGCG strongly repressed the tumor growth and exhibited protective effect on the nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin.”
“The combination of EGCG and cDDP increases the accumulation of cDDP and DNA-Pt adducts, and subsequently enhances the sensitivity of ovarian cancer SKOV3 and OVCAR3 cells to the chemotherapeutic agent.”
“As a result, EGCG improved renal function in cisplatin mediated kidney damage.”
“In addition to that, EGCG attenuated cisplatin induced apoptotic cell death and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in human kidney tubular cell line HK-2.”
“Treatment of mice with EGCG markedly attenuated cisplatin induced mitochondrial oxidative/nitrative stress, mitochondrial damages to electron transport chain activities and antioxidant defense enzyme activities in mitochondria.”
“ EGCG therapy combined with cisplatin led to synergistic inhibition of tumor growth, compared with administration of each treatment separately (P < 0.001).”
