Investigating how 6-gingerol and gamma-tocotrienol can suppress cancer growth
Malaysian researchers investigated the mechanisms underlying the anti-cancer effects of a combination treatment of y-tocotrienol and 6-gingerol. They reported their findings in an article published in the Journal of Natural Medicines.
In their previous study, the researchers reported that y-tocotrienol (yT3)and 6-gingerol (6G) synergistically inhibited the proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells.
To elucidate the mechanisms involved in this suppression, they used RNA sequencing techniques and conducted transcriptome analysis of the total RNA from both untreated and yT3 + 6G-treated SW837 cancer cells.
High-throughput sequencing was performed at approximately 30 to 60 million coverage.
The researchers found that changes in cancer-specific gene expression occurred in the yT3 + 6G-treated cells.
Functional enrichment pathway analysis also suggested that the combination of yT3 and 6G modulated more than one pathway.
yT3 + 6G interfered with the cell cycle process, downregulated the Wnt signaling pathway and induced caspase-independent apoptosis by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, activating the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) unfolded protein response (UPR), disrupting DNA repair mechanisms and inactivating the cell cycle.
The latter, noted the researchers, was made possible by the downregulation of proliferation-related genes like FOXM1.
Meanwhile, yT3 + 6G exerted a cytotoxic effect by upregulating genes involved in stress response activation.
The combination treatment also exerted cystostatic effects by downregulating the main regulator genes in the cell cycle.
RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR results revealed that genes like ATF6, DDIT3, GADD34, FOXM1, CDK1 and p21, which are involved in stress response-, apoptosis- and proliferation-related pathways, displayed concordant patterns of gene expression.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that bioactive compounds like y-tocotrienol and 6-gingerol can be used to effectively suppress cancer cell growth.

Our Mission:
The mission of the Integrative Medicine is to search for the most effective treatments for patients by combining both conventional and alternative approaches that address all aspects of health and wellness – biological, psychological, social and spiritual. Biological Medicine is a big part of my work and so is Dark field Microscopy, what I use in my daily practice and what I teach more then 15 years in Asia and around the world: Live Blood Analysis in dark field based on Haematology.
We utilize Live blood analysis since 2004, conventional as well as specialty laboratories for a thorough diagnostic work up of the disease in question. Our integrative medicine treatment regimens are especially unique and are tailored specifically to the individual needs of each patient.
Our Mission: don’t harm, prevent, use food as medicine
We are a reliable partner for integrative medicine in Medical Spa & Clinic Development and integrative medicine Education Training for alternative doctors – we bring different holistic approaches, like Integrative Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda Medicine together. On your request we offer our service in your place as well.
Heavy metal poisoning
Heavy metal poisoning is much more common than most people realize, and if you’re thinking that it doesn’t apply to you because you haven’t been exposed to any, think again. If you’ve eaten fish regularly, had amalgam fillings, received vaccinations, drank contaminated water, or done industrial or agricultural work or pharmaceutical manufacturing, there’s a good chance that you have a fair amount of toxic metals in your system..
We are here to help and to educate!
Wishing your health and happiness
