General description

An isothiocyanate isolated from broccoli that acts as a potent inducer of phase II detoxifying enzymes in mouse tissues and murine hepatoma cells in culture. It has been shown to be an effective agent in prevention of chemically-induced mammary tumors in rats. It also inhibits the phase I cytochrome P450 isoenzymes 2E1 and IA2 which have been associated with the activation of carcinogens. The induction of phase II enzymes is mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway.

Sulforaphane (SFN) is one of most important dietary constituents of broccoli (Brassica oleracea) and other cruciferous vegetables, which have been reported to exhibit health benefits, including prevention and therapy of cancer, such as colorectal carcinoma (CRC). The objective of this

Following activation, macrophages undergo extensive metabolic rewiring1,2. Production of itaconate through the inducible enzyme IRG1 is a key hallmark of this process3. Itaconate inhibits succinate dehydrogenase4,5, has electrophilic properties6 and is associated with a change in cytokine production4. Here, we

We previously demonstrated that sulforaphane (SFN) inhibited autophagy leading to apoptosis in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, but the underlying subcellular mechanisms were unknown. Hereby, high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry uncovered that SFN regulated the production of lipoproteins

The primary mechanisms supporting immunoregulatory polarization of myeloid cells upon infiltration into tumors remain largely unexplored. Elucidation of these signals could enable better strategies to restore protective anti-tumor immunity. Here, we investigated the role of the intrinsic activation of the
