A Novel Dietary Flavonoid Fisetin Inhibits Androgen Receptor Signaling and Tumor Growth in Athymic Nude Mice

Abstract: Androgen receptor (AR)-mediated signaling plays an important role in the development and progression of prostate cancer (PCa). Hormonal therapies, mainly with combinations of antiandrogens and androgen deprivation, are the mainstay treatment for advanced disease. However, emergence of androgen resistance largely due to inefficient antihormone action limits their therapeutic usefulness. Here, we report that fisetin, a novel dietary flavonoid, acts as a novel AR ligand by competing with the high-affinity androge… Show more

“…A mechanism by which fisetin is thought to interfere with prostate cancer cell survival is induction of apoptosis [2,3]. The fisetin analogue quercetin (3ʹ,4ʹ,5,7-tetrahydroxyflavonol), the biological properties of which have been widely studied [4], at concentrations of 10-100 μM has also exhibited growth-arresting properties in human-derived prostate cancer cells [5].…”

“…In the past years, fisetin was a subject of research because of its antiproliferative (Haddad et al, 2006;Khan et al, 2008;Suh et al, 2009), apoptotic (Suh et al, 2009;Sung et al, 2007), and antioxidant (Hou et al, 2001) activities. Several studies indicate that fisetin is a promising novel antioxidant.…”
