As a molecular mechanism by the combination, the induction of growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible 153 (GADD153, CHOP) gene expression is discussed in relation to death receptor 5 and TRAIL-apoptotic pathway. The combination of anticancer drugs with green tea could be a new cancer therapeutic strategy in humans.
