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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
Cancer insurgence and progression are complex processes, depending on the combination of unmodifiable genetic and modifiable environmental/lifestyle-related factors.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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 .
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
Moreover, some of these natural compounds may have a cytotoxic effect, making them interesting alternatives to or candidates for integration into conventional therapeutic approaches .
[]
ChemBL_V1
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) .
[]
ChemBL_V1
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 .
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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 .
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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.

A list of experimental models used to study OLE and HT cytotoxicity in cancer cells is reported in Table 1.

Malignant melanoma is a malignancy arising from the transformation of melanocytes, with increasing incidence worldwide.
[]
ChemBL_V1
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).
[]
ChemBL_V1
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 .

ChemBL_V1
For 25 mg/kg OLE, this effect was associated with a persistent reduction in (I) the total volume of tumors per mouse, (II) the expression levels of invasion enzymes matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), pro-MMP9, and MMP9, (III) tissue angiogenesis marker vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) levels, and (IV) the percentage of skin Ki-67+ cells and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1 or CD31)+ areas .

In an in vivo B16F10 (mouse melanoma cell line) allograft model of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced melanoma progression in C57BL/6N mice, HFD containing 0.02% and 0.04% OLE reduced HFD-driven tumor growth and lymph node metastasis, with a mechanism involving (I) inhibition of cell proliferation, as indicated by the reduction in the percentage of cells positive for proliferation markers Ki67, Cyclin D1, and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) cells, (II) suppression of angiogenesis (reduction in CD31, VE-cadherin expression, VEGF-A, VEGF-C, VEGF-D, VEGF receptor 2 -VEGFR2- and VEGFR3), and (III) inhibition of lymphangiogenesis, as proved by staining for lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor (LYVE-1).

On the contrary, incubation of human melanoma cell lines A375, WM266-4, and M21 with 250 μM, 500 μM, and 800 μM OLE for 72 h produced a dose-dependent decrease in cell viability.

Expression analysis revealed a significant transcriptional upregulation of lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) and LDHC (accounting for lactate conversion into pyruvate) and glutamine synthetase (GLUL) in MNT1 cells in comparison with the A375 cell line, while sodium-coupled neutral amino acid transporter 1 (SNAT1) and SNAT2 (involved in glutamine transport within the cell), monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4, accounting for lactate export), glycolytic enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), and excitatory amino acid transporter 3 (EEAT3) were downregulated in MNT1 cells vs. A375 .

[]
ChemBL_V1
In vitro, treatment of human papillary thyroid carcinoma cell line TPC-1 and poorly differentiated thyroid gland carcinoma cell line BCPAP with 50–100 μM OLE for 48 h produced a significant reduction in cell viability attributable to S phase and G2/M phase cell cycle block, respectively.

[]
ChemBL_V1
In adenocarcinomic human alveolar epithelial cells A549 (a model for non-small cell lung cancer), 50 μM and 150 μM OLE-induced apoptosis after 24 h incubation was mediated by the decrement in Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL anti-apoptotic proteins flanked by the increase in (I) mitochondrial-located pro-apoptotic protein Bax, (II) cytochrome c release from the mitochondria, (III) activation of apoptosome component apoptotic protease activating factor-1 (Apaf-1), (IV) activation of caspase-3, and (V) mitochondrial methylglyoxal detoxicating enzyme Glo2 (mGlo2), which physically interacted with Bax .
[ { "end": 55, "label": "CellLine", "start": 51, "text": "A549" } ]
ChemBL_V1
Consistent with these data, incubation of non-small cell lung cancer cell line H1299 with 50–200 μM OLE for 24 h elicited a dose-dependent G2/M phase cell cycle block and apoptosis, with effects on Bcl-2, Bax, cytochrome c, and caspase-3 that were similar to those documented for A549 cells .

ChemBL_V1
However, the underlying molecular mechanism ruling OLE activity differed between the two cell lines.
[]
ChemBL_V1
The effects elicited by 150 μM OLE on mGlo2 levels in A549 cells were strictly dependent on OLE-induced increase in superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) detoxicating action against superoxide (O2), and on the inhibition of the Akt signalling pathway.
[ { "end": 58, "label": "CellLine", "start": 54, "text": "A549" } ]
ChemBL_V1
This was not surprising, since in A549 cells, O2 supports Akt activations, promoting cell survival .
[ { "end": 38, "label": "CellLine", "start": 34, "text": "A549" } ]
ChemBL_V1
In H1299 cells, the observed apoptosis was instead determined by OLE-induced phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), accompanied by an increased rate of phosphorylation of activating transcription factor-2 (ATF-2), involved in cell cycle regulation, as documented in both tumorigenesis and cell death, and the upregulation of genes ruling cell metabolism and apoptosis .
[ { "end": 8, "label": "CellLine", "start": 3, "text": "H1299" } ]
ChemBL_V1
In A549 cell line, HT showed an increase in effectiveness of its anti-proliferative activity with respect to time, with the IC50 values changing from 230.60 μM to 149.36 μM in 72 h .
