Bladder cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. The majority of bladder cancer deaths are due to unresectable lesions that are resistant to chemotherapy. Pterostilbene (PT), a naturally occurring phytoalexin, possesses a variety of pharmacologic activities, including antioxidant, cancer prevention activity and cytotoxicity to many cancers. We found that PT effectively inhibits the growth of sensitive and chemoresistant human bladder cancer cells by inducing cell cycle arrest, autophagy and apoptosis. Down-regulations of Cyclin A, B and D1 and pRB are the results of PT-induced cell cycle arrest.
