Synergistic effect of capsaicin and docetaxel in prostate cancer cells through AMP-activated kinase

Abstract

Data used to generate figures of the paper “Combination of the natural product capsaicin and docetaxel synergistically kills human prostate cancer cells through the metabolic regulator AMP-activated kinase” Sánchez BG, Bort A, Mateos-Gómez PA, Rodríguez-Henche N, Díaz-Laviada I. Cancer Cell Int. 2019 Mar 8;19:54. doi: 10.1186/s12935-019-0769-2. eCollection 2019. In this study we demonstrate that the spicy ingredient of peepers, capsaicin, sensitizes prostate cancer cell to docetaxel. The metabolic regulator AMPK plays a pivotal role
