Laboratory study demonstrates synergistic inhibition of prostate cancer progression, indicating dietary interventions may improve outcomes.

The study aims to assess the combined effects of xanthohumol and ursolic acid on prostate cancer progression.
Evaluated cell survival and colony formation in prostate cancer cells treated with xanthohumol and ursolic acid.
Used two mouse models of prostate cancer to test dietary combinations and mechanisms of action.
Analyzed effects on polyamine synthesis, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and oncogenic signaling pathways.
The combination of xanthohumol and ursolic acid reduced prostate cancer cell survival and colony formation.
Significantly inhibited the growth of allograft tumors in HMVP2 mice and prostate cancer progression in HiMyc mice.
Activated the unfolded protein response pathway and promoted apoptosis, contributing to prostate cancer inhibition.

Clark et al. (2026) studied this question.
