Research Papers that Mention the Interaction
“The combination of apigenin with 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) or cisplatin induces the dramatic death of SCC25 cells.”
Apigenin induces apoptosis via tumor necrosis factor receptor- and Bcl-2-mediated pathway and enhances susceptibility of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin.“A higher percentage (29.13%) was observed after treatment with the same dose of apigenin plus 5-FU for the same incubation period (P=.001).”
“It also shows that use of apigenin plus 5-FU further increases this effect.”
“Furthermore, the CD26 effect was enhanced when apigenin was paired with chemotherapeutic agents utilized in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer including irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin.”
“To investigate the mechanism by which the combination of 5-fluorouracil and apigenin induces apoptosis, ErbB2 expression was analyzed.”
“Among them, we found that apigenin enhanced the inhibitory effect of 5-FU on cell viability.”
“Furthermore, apigenin increased reactive oxygen species production, intracellular and intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentrations, and mitochondrial membrane potential upon cotreatment with 5-FU.”
“In addition, apigenin inhibited the upregulation of TS induced by 5-FU.”
“Therefore, apigenin may improve the therapeutic efficacy of 5-FU against CRC by suppressing TS, but apoptosis induction is mainly dependent on functional P53.”
Apigenin enhances apoptosis induction by 5-fluorouracil through regulation of thymidylate synthase in colorectal cancer cells
