Role of miRs in Polyphenol-Mediated Anticancer: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 3 by Jessie Wu and Version 2 by Jessie Wu.

The anticancer effects of daily consumption of polyphenols. These dietary polyphenols include chlorogenic acid, curcumin, epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate, genistein, quercetin, and resveratrol. These polyphenols have similar chemical and biological properties in that they can act as antioxidants and exert the anticancer effects via cell signaling pathways involving their reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging activity. These polyphenols may also act as pro-oxidants under certain conditions, especially at high concentrations. Epigenetic modifications, including dysregulation of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as microRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and circular RNAs are now known to be involved in the anticancer effects of polyphenols. These polyphenols can modulate the expression/activity of the component molecules in ROS-scavenger-triggered anticancer pathways (RSTAPs) by increasing the expression of tumor-suppressive ncRNAs and decreasing the expression of oncogenic ncRNAs in general. Multiple ncRNAs are similarly modulated by multiple polyphenols. Many of the targets of ncRNAs affected by these polyphenols are components of RSTAPs. Therefore, ncRNA modulation may enhance the anticancer effects of polyphenols via RSTAPs in an additive or synergistic manner, although other mechanisms may be operating as well.

1. Introduction

A number of epidemiological studies have provided evidence for the anticancer effects of daily polyphenol intake [1][2][3][4][5][6]. These dietary polyphenols include chlorogenic acid (CGA), curcumin (CUR), epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), genistein (GEN), quercetin (QUE) and resveratrol (RES), which are six major polyphenols in our dietary life and are found in vegetables, fruits, and beverages. Preclinical and cell-based studies have supported their anticancer effects and provided a mechanism of action for these polyphenols [1][2][3][5]. Recent studies have shown involvement of epigenetic modifications including dysregulation of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as micro RNAs (miRs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRs), and circular RNAs (circRs).
Researchers have provided updated information from human studies supporting the anticancer effects of consumption of green tea, coffee, red wine, soybeans, and curry and discussed the involvement of miRs in polyphenol action mechanisms (Table 1 and Table 2). Previous data have shown that the six major dietary polyphenols, CGA, CUR, EGCG, GEN, QUE, and RES, have similar properties since they can act as antioxidants and exert the anticancer effects via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenger-triggered anticancer pathways (RSTAPs) (Figure 1) [7][8]. These dietary polyphenols are also known to act as pro-oxidants and ROS generated can activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) which will result in polyphenols’ anticancer effects (Figure 1). Moreover, data indicated that at least three of the six polyphenols can commonly modulate several miRs associated with RSTAPs [7][8].

2. Involvements of miRs in Polyphenol-Mediated Anticancer Mechanisms

miRs are defined as small single-stranded molecules (approximately 20 to 25 nucleotides) and can regulate gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, leading to modulation of beneficial health effects exerted by these polyphenols in diseases including cancer [7][8].
Table 1 and Table 2 summarize miRs modulated by at least three of six dietary polyphenols. Four of six dietary polyphenols upregulate miR-16, 34a and 141, and downregulate miR-20a and 221; five of six dietary polyphenols upregulate miR-145 and downregulate miR-21 and 155. Table 1 and Table 2 also list the molecular targets of miRs that are modulated by these polyphenols; targets associated with RSTAPs (Figure 1) are also shown in these tables. Thus, it appears that six dietary polyphenols can exert their anticancer effects not only by directly involving RSTAPs, but also by miR-mediated regulation of the molecular targets associated with RSTAPs.
One or two of the miRs up- and down-regulated by six polyphenols for which studies have been reported are listed in Table 3 and Table 4, respectively, together with determined or proposed targets of these miRs. Many miRs can target components of RSTAPs, but some contribute to other mechanisms that are not depicted in these pathways (Figure 1). Based on previous findings on positive crosstalk between NF-κB and Wnt/β-catenin signaling [144][145], the Wnt/β-catenin signaling is connected in Figure 1. Furthermore, previous findings are incorporated to show that TNF-α activates Wnt/β-catenin pathway, leading to increases in cancer stemness and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) which are involved in cancer cell renewals and tumorigenesis [146][147][148].
