Pomegranate juice contains ingredients that inhibit prostate cancer cell metastasis, according to a new study in the United States This discovery will help to develop more effective prostate cancer drugs At the 50th annual meeting of the American Society of cell biology in Philadelphia on the 12th, researchers from the University of California, riverside, reported the results The growth of prostate cancer cells requires testosterone, which doctors usually use to inhibit the secretion of testosterone to prevent prostate cancer metastasis But this kind of therapy is only effective in the initial stage As time goes on, cancer cells will produce resistance and soon move to bone marrow, lung and lymph Researchers at the University of California, riverside, used pomegranate juice to treat prostate cancer cells that were resistant to the treatment, and found that cancer cell mortality increased, and the adhesion of cancer cells that were not dead increased, meaning their ability to move to other sites decreased After analyzing pomegranate juice, the researchers determined the effective anticancer components, including phenylpropanoid compounds, hydroxybenzoic acid, flavonoids and conjugated fatty acids These chemical components can enhance the adhesion of prostate cancer cells through molecular action, and inhibit the metastasis of prostate cancer cells.
