Abstract

Most of the research strategies aiming at improving anticancer therapies currently target apoptosis. Over the last decades, several natural products derived from herbal medicine or food have been identified as pharmacological agents for cancer cell elimination through apoptosis induction. Among them, isoliquiritigenin (ILG) is a chalcone derivative isolated from liquorice and shallots which exhibits a wide variety of biological functions including antitumor properties.In mammals, apoptotic cells (AC) can either be eliminated after their capture by specialized phagocytes or act as vectors of DNA in a process named horizontal gene transfer (HGT). For instance, AC derived from cervical cancer cells can transfer human papillomavirus (HPV) oncog...
