Both NAPQI and ROS cause mitochondrial DNA damage, activation of the JNK signaling pathway, which further amplifies the mitochondrial ROS production, and causes the mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) pore to open (Iorga et al., 2017)
Several test-tube studies have shown that MSM inhibits the growth of stomach, esophageal, liver, colon, skin and bladder cancer cells ( It seems to do this by damaging cancer cell DNA and stimulating cancer cell death ( MSM also appears to prevent the spread of cancer cells, also known as metastasis ( A study in mice with liver cancer showed that those injected with MSM had fewer tumors, smaller tumor size and less liver damage than those who did not receive the treatment ( Another mouse study demonstrated that MSM inhibited the growth of human breast cancer cells ( Although these results are encouraging, more research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of using MSM in cancer treatment
