辛辣食物是很多人的最爱,却是癌细胞的“天敌”。英国诺丁汉大学的学者通过研究揭开了辛辣食物能够杀死癌细胞的秘密。据英国广播公司报道,研究者在人类肺癌细胞和胰腺癌培养基上进行了试验,结果发现,墨西哥辣椒里面的辣椒素能够攻击线粒体(细胞的能量源)引发癌细胞死亡。辣椒素所属的分子家族以及芳香草醛能粘附到癌细胞线粒体里面的蛋白上,引发癌细胞凋亡(细胞受环境刺激后在基因调控之下所产生的自然死亡现象),同时还不会伤害周围的健康细胞。
Spicy food is the favorite of many people, but it is the “natural enemy” of cancer cells. Researchers at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom have uncovered the secrets of spicy foods that kill cancer cells. According to a report by the BBC, researchers tested human lung cancer cells and pancreatic cancer media and found that capsaicin in Mexican chilli can attack mitochondria, the energy source of cells, and cause cancer cell death. The molecular family of capsaicin and aromatic vanillin adhere to proteins in the mitochondria of cancer cells, triggering apoptosis of cancer cells (natural deaths that occur under gene regulation after cells are stimulated by the environment), while not Hurt the healthy cells around.
