Remember .. ? .. the one that is **better** than those .. expensive **unaffordable** .. other bisphosphonates .. like etidronate .. ? http://tinyurl.com/2wuhuk The influence of phytic acid on TNF-alpha and its receptors genes' expression in colon cancer Caco-2 cells. Cholewa K, Parfiniewicz B, Bednarek I, Swiatkowska L, Jezienicka E, Kierot J, Weglarz L Acta Pol Pharm 2008 Jan-Feb; 65(1):75-9. Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6, phytic acid) is a naturally occurring carbohydrate abundantly present in high-fiber diets and it is also contained in almost all mammalian cells. It plays an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. Some natural substances have been shown to elicit an impact on the expression of TNF-alpha and its receptors in cancer cells. TNF-alpha represents cytokine very often deregulated at the level of both gene expression and signal transmission through TNF-alpha receptors (TNFRI and TNFRII). The aim of the present study was to analyze the IP6 influence on the transcription of genes coding for TNF-alpha and its receptors in human colon cancer cells line Caco-2. Real-time QRT-PCR based on TaqMan methodology was applied to analyze quantitatively the transcript levels of these genes. Three concentrations (1, 2.5 and 5 mM) of IP6 were used for Caco-2 cells stimulation for 1, 6, 12 and 24 h. The results showed that IP6 modulated the expression of the listed genes at transcription level in a dose and time dependent manner. The enhanced TNFRI and decreased TNF-alpha and TNFRII transcription in Caco-2 cells stimulated for 12 h with IP6 seems to be the presumptive evidence for anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity of IP6.

"No evidence currently available to definitely confirm that one bisphosphonate is better than another" "Phytate found to be the most effective" Phytate inhibits bovine pericardium calcification in vitro Cardiovascular Pathology, Volume 17, Issue 3, May-June 2008, Pages 139-145 F¨¦lix Grases, Pilar Sanchis, Antonia Costa-Bauz¨¢, Oriol Bonnin, Bernat Isern, Joan Perell¨®, Rafael M. Prieto Objective The present study examined the inhibitory effects of pyrophosphate, etidronate, and phytate on bovine pericardium calcification in vitro. Methods Bovine pericardium was glutaraldehyde fixed and then placed in a flow chamber in the presence of a synthetic physiological fluid alone (control) or the fluid plus various concentrations of pyrophosphate, etidronate, or phytate. Following a 96-h incubation, fragments were removed and assayed for calcification by measuring calcium and phosphorus levels. Results The data indicated that both pyrophosphate and etidronate at 1 mg/l (5.75 and 4.95 ¦ÌM, respectively) inhibited bovine pericardium calcification, whereas neither agent had an effect at 0.5 mg/l (2.87 and 2.47 ¦ÌM, respectively). Phytate was the most potent inhibitor of calcification, and the effects of this agent were apparent at levels as low as 0.25 mg/l (0.39 ¦ÌM). Conclusions While pyrophosphate, etidronate, and phytate were all able to inhibit bovine pericardium calcification in vitro, phytate was found to be the most effective. Who loves ya.
