Citation: Boominathan, Natural product-based therapy for Metastatic tumors: Green tea extract (P-60) suppresses the expression of PD-1, a suppressor of activation of T-cells, and activates the immune system via down regulation of its target gene, 27/February/2015, 8.43 am, Genome-2-Bio-Medicine Discovery center (GBMD), http://genomediscovery.org
Significance: It has recently been shown that blocking PD-1 with antibodies, one could make tumors shrink. This study suggests, for the first time, that Green tea extract (Polyphenon-60[P-60]), by suppressing the expression of its target gene, it may decrease the expression of PD-1. Thereby, it may activate the immune system to inhibit tumor progression. Thus, pharmacological formulations encompassing “P-60 or its analogues (isolated from Green tea extract)” may be used to inhibit the progression of tumors.
