Capsaicin in chillies kills breast cancer cells - Cancer Education and Research Institute (CERI)
Researchers from Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany, treated human samples of breast cancer cells with Capsaicin to dissect its ability to destroy them. They found that Capsaicin induces apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells. When capsaicin reaches a cancer cell, it attaches to the cell surface and switches on a cell receptor, a protein expressed/produced on the cell surface, called TRPV1. The receptor TRPV1 is a calcium/sodium channel that controls them go in and out of the cancer cell. When TRPV1 is switched on by capsaicin, the cancer cell is sent into overdrive and starts to self-destruct by induced apoptosis (programmed cell death). The researchers have found a significant reduction in cell proliferation after capsaicin stimulation was observed.This study was carried out by scientists from:
  • Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany
  • Hospital Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus Dernbach, Germany
  • Centre of Genomics in Cologne, Germany
