Two separate recently published studies revealed resveratrol, a polyphenol found mostly in grapes and red wine, can help thwart bone marrow cancer myeloma, as well as degrade certain peptide, crucial to development of plaques associated with Alzheimers disease.
Published in the Nov. 1 issue of cancer research (65: 9943-52, 2005 ) the first study investigated the effects of resveratrol on multiple myeloma -- accumulations o malignant plasma cells bone marrow -- as well as on osteoblast bone makers ) and osteoclast ( bone destoryers ), which determined the bone environment that factors in the survival of malignanacy. the dutch researchers found resveratrol (trans-3,4`, 5-trihydroxystilbene ) dose dependently reduced the groeth of myeloma cell lines (RMPI 8226 and OPM-2) via a cell apoptosis mechanism. Their in vitro study of resveratrol on human monocytes futher showed inhibition of bonr resorption by osteocalin and osteopontin in human bone marrow stem cells. They concluded resveratrol has potential to help treat multiple myeloma.
