Sulforaphane and Prostate Cancer - the role of Non-Coding RNA

New biomarkers have been identified that may help in the early diagnosis and treatment of prostate and urological cancers.  Long non-coding RNA (Ribonucleic Acid), a form of RNA not involved in cellular protein encoding, are altered in these cancers.(1,2)

Expression of long non-coding RNA is believed to play a significant role in the initiation and progression of prostate cancer. Sulforaphane has been found to inhibit the expression of  non-coding RNA associated with prostate cancer. Researchers conclude that sulforaphane may prevent and suppress prostate cancer by the inhibition of key non-coding forms of RNA. (3)
