In Vitro Model 3LL Malignant tumors of the mouse pulmonary system Mus musculus (Mouse) CVCL_5653
In Vivo Model Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells (1×10⁶) were injected in the rear flak of C57BL/6 mice
Result lycopene promoted anti-PD-1 therapeutic efficiency of lung cancer by promoting IFNγ-expressing CD8+ cells infiltrated in tumor tissues and increasing IFNγ expression in tumor cells.
Combination Pair ID: 557
Pair Name Lycopene, Enzalutamide
Partner Name Enzalutamide
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C82] Prostate cancer Investigative
Gene Regulation Down-regulation Phosphorylation AKT1 hsa207
Down-regulation Expression AR hsa367
Down-regulation Phosphorylation EZH2 hsa2146
Down-regulation Expression MMP2 hsa4313
Down-regulation Expression MMP9 hsa4318
Down-regulation Expression PCNA hsa5111
In Vitro Model LNCaP C4-2B Prostate carcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_4784
22Rv1 Prostate carcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_1045
In Vivo Model 22RV1 cells (2×10⁶) were injected into left tibia or the right flank of nude mice.
Result These results suggest that the enhanced antitumor effects of enzalutamide by lycopene may be related to the reduction of AR protein levels through lycopene-mediated inhibition of AKT/EZH2 pathway, which may provide a new approach to improve the efficacy of enzalutamide in CRPC.
Combination Pair ID: 558
Pair Name Lycopene, Cisplatin
Partner Name Cisplatin
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C77] Cervical cancer Investigative
Biological Phenomena Induction-->Oxidative Stress
Gene Regulation Up-regulation Expression BAX hsa581
Down-regulation Expression BCL2 hsa596
Down-regulation Expression CDH13 hsa1012
Up-regulation Expression NFE2L2 hsa4780
Down-regulation Expression NFKB1 hsa4790
In Vitro Model HeLa Human papillomavirus-related cervical adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0030
Result Lycopene increases the sensitization of cervical cancer cells to cisplatin via inhibition of cell viability, up-regulation of Bax expression, and down-regulation of Bcl-2 expression. Furthermore, the anticancer effect of lycopene might be also associated with suppression of NF-κB-mediated inflammatory responses, and modulation of Nrf2-mediated oxidative stress. The results of the present study suggest that lycopene and concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy might have a role in improving the treatment of cervical cancer.
Combination Pair ID: 559
Pair Name Lycopene, Doxorubicin
Partner Name Doxorubicin

Up-regulation Expression FAS hsa355
Down-regulation Phosphorylation MTOR hsa2475
In Vitro Model HT-29 Colon adenocarcinoma Homo sapiens (Human) CVCL_0320
Result Our novel findings suggest that lycopene and EPA synergistically inhibited the growth of human colon cancer HT-29 cells even at low concentration. The inhibitory effects of lycopene and EPA on cell proliferation of human colon cancer HT-29 cells were, in part, associated with the down-regulation of the PI-3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
Combination Pair ID: 913
Pair Name Lycopene, T0901317
Partner Name T0901317
Disease Info [ICD-11: 2C25] Lung cancer Investigative
