Bioactive products derived from blueberry Doses Model Effects on skin cancer References
Anthocyanin-rich extract 200y400μg/ml Cell line B16–F10 Proliferation in B16–F10 cells was inhibited in a dose- dependent manner. [61]
Resveratrol 102,101,1.5,10μM Cell line A375SM The viability of the cellular line of melanoma was significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner. [76, 77]
Resveratrol 1,10μM Cell line A375SM - Expression of p21 y p27 was activated, which induced cell cycle arrest in melanoma cells.
- Apoptosis was induced.
[76, 77]
Delphinidin 10mM Cell line HaCaT Pre-treatment with delphinidin prevented apoptosis induced by UVB in HaCaT cells. [78]
Delphinidin 120mM Cell line HaCaT Strong dose-dependent antioxidant activity and inhibition of lipid peroxidation induced by UVB rays was evidenced in HaCaT cells. [78]
Agraz extract (Vaccinium meridionale Swartz) 10,50and100μg/ml Cell line HT1080 Agraz extract provided significant protection in cell viability at the concentrations of 50 and 100 μg/ml for 48 h before exposure to rotenone-induced oxidative stress. [79]
Cyanidin-3-O- (6-OP-coumaril) -monoglucoside + Na 10mgmlacaiextract BALB/3T3 Fibroblasts The production of ROS induced by UVA in immortalized fibroblasts was mitigated. [80]
Malvidin-petunidin-glucoside-epicatechin 10mgmlacaiextract BALB/3T3 Fibroblasts The production of ROS induced by UVA in immortalized fibroblasts was mitigated. [80]
Cyanidin - 3 - glucoside 30μg/ml Primary keratinocytes C57BL/6 Reduced oxidation mediated by UV in keratinocytes. [81]
Berry extract (wild blueberry, bilberry, cranberry, elderberry, raspberry seed and strawberry) 250μg/ml Cell line HaCaT Potential inhibition of the expression of H2O2 and the induction of VEGF induced by TNFα in human keratinocytes. [82]
“Bluecrop” blueberry extract (BE) 6mgml,8mgml,10mgml Cell line HaCaT, HFF Treatment with BE reduced the levels of transcription of inflammatory cytokine genes including TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-6. [83]
Delphinidin 1mg100mlDMSO/mouse SKH-1 Mice Topical application of delphinidin in SKH-1 hairless mice inhibited apoptosis mediated by UV and DNA damage markers, such as cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers. [78]
Cyanidin-3-glucoside 250y500μM SKH-1 Mice Inhibited DNA damage and skin inflammation in SKH-1 hairless mice. [84]
