Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), a widely found natural bioactive substance in grains, effectively inhibits the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) when used in combination with inositol (INS). We previously showed that supplementation of IP6 and INS upregulated the claudin 7 gene in orthotropic CRC xenografts in mice. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of claudin 7 in the inhibition of CRC metastasis by IP6 and INS, and explore the underlying mechanisms. We found that IP6, INS and their combination inhibited the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) of colon cancer cell lines (SW480 and SW620), as indicated by upregulation of claudin 7 and E-cadherin, and downregulation of N-cadherin. The effect of IP6 and INS was stronger compared to either agent alone (combination index < 1). Furthermore, the silencing of the claudin 7 gene diminished the anti-metastatic effects of IP6 and INS on SW480 and SW620 cells. Consistent with in vitro findings, the combination of IP6 and INS suppressed CRC xenograft growth in a mouse model, which was neutralized by claudin 7. Taken together, the combination of IP6 and INS can inhibit CRC metastasis by blocking EMT of tumor cells through upregulation of claudin 7.

Lycopene/tomato has been discussed as a potential effecter in the prevention and therapy of prostate cancer; however, no systematic review has been reported to illustrate its effect recently. In the present study, a meta-analysis was carried out to determine whether intake of lycopene and tomato/tomato products could reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Eleven cohort studies and six nested case-control studies were identified through searching of international journal databases and reference lists of relevant publications. Two reviewers independently assessed the study quality and extracted data from each identified study; only studies with sufficient quality were included in the review. The main outcome of interest was incidence of prostate cancer. Compared with consumers of lower raw tomato intake, the odds ratio (OR) of incidence of prostate cancer among consumers of higher raw tomato intake was 0.81 [95% confidential interval (CI) 0.59-1.10]; for consumers of higher level of cooked tomato intake versus lower cooked tomato intake, this OR was 0.85 (95% CI 0.69-1.06); the OR of higher lycopene intake versus lower lycopene intake for prostate cancer was 0.93 (95% CI 0.86-1.01) and the OR for higher level of serum lycopene versus lower serum lycopene level was 0.97 (95% CI 0.88-1.08). It's suggested that tomato may play a modest role in the prevention of prostate cancer. Further research would be needed to determine the type and quantity of tomato products regarding their potential in preventing prostate cancer.
