Silymarin has been reported to induced and augmented human cervical cancer cell apoptosis through p38/JNK MAPKs [45]. • Prostate cancer Silymarin acts as anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, and anti-angiogenic in prostate tumor. It inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Silymarin also modulates MAPK, ERK 1/2, and IGF signaling pathways [46]. Silymarin and Its Role in Chronic Diseases 33 • Skin cancer Skin cancers occur due to ultraviolet light-induced immunosuppression and oxidative stress.
Many reports also indicate that silymarin increases the binding of b-TrCP to phosphorylated b-catenin which results in degradation or inactivation of b-catenin [23]. 5. Modulation of EGFR-MAPK/ERK1/2/AKT/mTOR/PP2A signaling It has been evidenced that silymarin treatment inhibits transforming growth factor a-mediated activation of erbB1 in human prostate carcinoma cells. Along with this, it also inhibits the tyrosine phosphorylation of an adaptor protein Shc which is the immediate downstream target erbB1 [24].
