Re: Researchers Turn On PTEN Tumor-Suppressor Protein in Cancer Cells
I did some research on Indole-3 carbinol. The chemical has quite a few anticancer actions, downregulating angiogenesis, downregulating NF-Kappa beta (which contributes to angiogenesis) and downregulating a pro cancer enzyme known as Histone Deacetylase.
At least in the test tube I-3C prevents human papilloma virus induced carcinogenesis. Estrogen stimulates HPV carcinogenesis and I-3-C interferes with the enzyme aromatase
which produces potent estrogens.
