Green tea polyphenols for prostate cancer chemoprevention: a translational perspective Johnson JJ; Bailey HH; Mukhtar HPhytomedicine 2010[Jan]; 17 (1): 3-13Every year nearly 200,000 men in the United States are diagnosed with prostate cancer (PCa), and another 29,000 men succumb to the disease. Within certain regions of the world population based studies have identified a possible role for green tea in the prevention of certain cancers, especially PCa. One constituent in particular, epigallocatechin-3-gallate also known as EGCG has been shown in cell culture models to decrease cell viability and promote apoptosis in multiple cancer cell lines including PCa with no effect on non-cancerous cell lines. In addition, animal models have consistently shown that standardized green tea polyphenols when administered in drinking water delay the development and progression of PCa. Altogether, three clinical trials have been performed in PCa patients and suggest that green tea may have a distinct role as a chemopreventive agent. This review will present the available data for standardized green tea polyphenols in regard to PCa chemoprevention that will include epidemiological, mechanism based studies, safety, pharmacokinetics, and applicable clinical trials. The data that has been collected so far suggests that green tea may be a promising agent for PCa chemoprevention and further clinical trials of participants at risk of PCa or early stage PCa are warranted.|*Phytotherapy[MESH]|Antineoplastic Agents, Phytogenic/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Apoptosis/drug effects[MESH]|Camellia sinensis/*chemistry[MESH]|Catechin/*analogs & derivatives/pharmacology/therapeutic use[MESH]|Cell Survival/drug effects[MESH]|Flavonoids/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Phenols/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Plant Extracts/pharmacology/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Polyphenols[MESH]|Prostatic Neoplasms/*prevention & control[MESH]|Tea[MESH] |
