The popular beverage green tea possesses chemopreventive activity against various types of tumors. However, the effects of its chemopreventive effect on hematological malignancies have not been defined. In the present study, we evaluated antitumor efficacies of a specific green tea, sencha tea, on sensitive and multidrug-resistant leukemia and a panel of nine multiple myelomas (MM) cell lines. We found that sencha extracts induced cytotoxicity in leukemic cells and MM cells to different extents, yet its effect on normal cells was limited. Furthermore, sencha extracts caused G2/M and G0/G1 phase arrest during cell cycle progression in CCRF/CEM and KMS-12-BM cells, respectively. Specifically, sencha-MeOH/H<sub>2</sub>O extracts induced apoptosis, ROS, and MMP collapse on both CCRF/CEM and KMS-12-BM cells. The analysis with microarray and COMPARE in 53 cell lines of the NCI panel revealed diverse functional groups, including cell morphology, cellular growth and proliferation, cell cycle, cell death, and survival, which were closely associated with anti-tumor effects of sencha tea. It is important to note that PI3K/Akt and NF-κB pathways were the top two dominant networks by ingenuity pathway analysis. We demonstrate here the multifactorial modes of action of sencha tea leading to chemopreventive effects of sencha tea against cancer.
