The fact that the Mediterranean diet could represent a source of natural compounds with cancer-preventive and therapeutic activity has been the object of great interest, especially with regard to the mechanisms of action of polyphenols found in olive oil and olive leaves.
|
[] |

Secoiridoid oleuropein (OLE) and its derivative hydroxytyrosol (3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol, HT) have demonstrated anti-proliferative properties against a variety of tumors and hematological malignancies both in vivo and in vitro, with measurable effects on cellular redox status, metabolism, and transcriptional activity.
|
[] |
PMC10968586
|
With this review, we aim to summarize the most up-to-date information on the potential use of OLE and HT for cancer treatment, making important considerations about OLE and HT bioavailability, OLE- and HT-mediated effects on drug metabolism, and OLE and HT dual activity as both pro- and antioxidants, likely hampering their use in clinical routine.
|
[] |
PMC10968586
|
Also, we focus on the details available on the effects of nutritionally relevant concentrations of OLE and HT on cell viability, redox homeostasis, and inflammation in order to evaluate if both compounds could be considered cancer-preventive agents or new potential chemotherapy drugs whenever their only source is represented by diet.

Cancer insurgence and progression are complex processes, depending on the combination of unmodifiable genetic and modifiable environmental/lifestyle-related factors.

[] |

With this premise, it sounds perfectly understandable that scientific evidence has corroborated the role of a healthy diet and dietary intervention as potentially beneficial approaches contributing to cancer prevention .
|
[] |
PMC10968586

Epidemiological and experimental evidence has confirmed that the so-called Mediterranean diet is a source of molecules that may mitigate cancer risk factors like chronic inflammation and redox imbalance, thus participating in the prevention of carcinogenesis in terms of loss of cell cycle regulation and proper immune modulation, as well as in the inhibition of angiogenesis and metastasis.

Moreover, some of these natural compounds may have a cytotoxic effect, making them interesting alternatives to or candidates for integration into conventional therapeutic approaches .

Among Mediterranean diet phenols, secoiridoid oleuropein (OLE) is the most abundant phenolic compound in Olea europaea L. tree leaves (OLE content up to 14–19% in olive leaves), followed by its degradation derivative hydroxytyrosol (3,4-dihydroxyphenylethanol, HT, 2.28 mg/g of olive leaf extract) (Figure 1) .
|
[] |
PMC10968586
|
OLE and HT are also found in the fruit of Olea europaea L. and in olive oil; thus, they are easily ingested as part of a routine diet, but they can also be obtained from other sources, e.g., olive mill wastewater .

Both compounds have attracted attention for their accessibility, safe profile, powerful antioxidant and scavenging activity against reactive oxygen species (ROS), and controversial anti-inflammatory action.

For more than two decades, OLE and HT (together or alone) have been the focus of intense research efforts in the context of infectious diseases and prevention/management of chronic non-communicable diseases, including cancer, with encouraging results from in vitro and in vivo models .

On this basis, it would be difficult to understand the reasons behind the lack of systematic testing of OLE and HT as supplements to prevent the insurgence of cancer or support the management of hematological malignancies and solid tumors.
|
[] |
PMC10968586
|
This becomes clearer considering that, despite promising proof in the field, experimental evidence about OLE and HT bioavailability in humans and animals clearly demonstrates that OLE and HT act as cancer-preventive agents and cytotoxic drugs mainly at concentrations far from plasma levels reachable through nutrition, an aspect often interpreted as marginal that we discuss in detail in this review.
|
[] |
PMC10968586

Also, as explained in the following paragraphs, the complexity and diversity of molecular mechanisms resulting in net OLE and HT action has led to questions regarding the possibility that these compounds might even facilitate the expansion of neoplastic clones at nutritionally relevant concentrations.

[] |

In this review, we discuss the available data on the use of OLE and HT as anti-cancer drugs and the feasibility of their application in the context of clinical routine now or in the near future.

OLE and HT activity against solid tumor insurgence and development has been challenged in a large number of experimental models, both in vivo and in vitro.

[] |

No single shared molecular mechanism and/or triggered cellular response seems implicated in OLE and HT cytotoxicity, resulting in an articulated frame that imposes a separate dissertation for every type of studied solid tumor.

To facilitate critical interpretation, in each subsection, OLE and HT assayed doses are indicated, with the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and the half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) reported as exact values, mean ± standard deviation (S.D.), or mean ± standard error of the mean (S.E.M.) whenever provided by the authors.

Malignant melanoma is a malignancy arising from the transformation of melanocytes, with increasing incidence worldwide.
|
[] |
PMC10968586

On the basis of the tissue where the primary lesion appears, four major subtypes can be distinguished: cutaneous melanoma (non-glabrous skin), acral melanoma (glabrous skin), mucosal melanoma (melanocytes in the mucosal tissues), and uveal melanoma (uveal tract of the eye).
|
[] |
PMC10968586

Among these major subtypes, it is possible to distinguish some particular variants: amelanotic/hypomelanotic melanoma, a subtype of cutaneous melanoma with low or absent melanin; desmoplastic melanoma, a spindle cell tumor exhibiting signs of dense scar-like fibrosis; spitzoid melanoma, sharing histopathological characteristics with Spitz nevi; acral lentiginous melanoma, with a lentiginous growth pattern .

Further experiments on MCF-7 cell line demonstrated a dose-dependent OLE-mediated antiproliferative effect on 17β-estradiol (E2)-induced cell growth when OLE concentration was used in the range of 10–75 μM. Instead, concentrations ≥ 100 μM were found to be toxic .

OLE was also able to reduce proliferation in triple negative breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 after 48 h incubation (IC50 = 500 μM), with RNA sequencing revealing alterations of the expression profile of genes involved in cell death, apoptosis, and response to stress .

A further attempt to deepen the mechanism of action in triple negative breast cancer showed that 12.5–100 μM OLE affected MDA-MB-231 cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, reducing cellular migration and invasion capabilities, especially at doses ≥ 25 μM. OLE was able to induce dose-dependent apoptosis after 72 h incubation.

In a breast cancer cell line identified by the authors only by the letters “MDA”, 200 μg/mL OLE was able to interfere with the metastatic process, causing a time-dependent increase in mRNA levels of MMP inhibitors TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 1 (TIMP1) and TIMP3, while TIMP4 showed no further increase after 48 h incubation.

However, at sub-lethal concentration (200 μM), HT had an impact on both (I) oxidative stress response, augmenting mRNA and protein levels of transcription factor nuclear respiratory factor 2 (Nrf2) and upregulating the transcription of its targets glutathione S-transferase alpha 2 (GSTA2) and heme oxigenase-1 (HO-1), and (II) energy homeostasis, reducing mRNA level of mitochondria biogenesis regulator PPARγ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α), while increasing its protein level and downregulating expression (in terms of mRNA) of mitochondrial function regulators estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) and deacetylase sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) .
