Sodium salicylate induces apoptosis in HCT116 colorectal cancer cells through activation of p38MAPK

International Journal of Oncology, 2003
Sodium salicylate is known to induce apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism for salicylate-induced apoptosis is yet unclear. Here we show that in HCT116 colon carcinoma cells, 10 mM sodium salicylate induces caspase-3 activation and degradation of its substrates, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), beta-catenin, and ...

Blastocystis sp. subtype 3 triggers higher proliferation of human colorectal cancer cells, HCT116

Parasitology Research, 2013
Blastocystis sp. is a commonly found intestinal microorganism and was reported to cause many nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms. Various subtypes have been previously reported, and the pathogenicity of different subtypes of Blastocystis is unclear and remains as a controversial issue.

664 Molecular Mechanisms in Simvastatin-induced HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cell Apoptosis

European Journal of Cancer, 2012
Material and Methods: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were isolated and cultured from E11-E13 embryos of control, Sos1-, Sos2or Sos1/2-null mice. To by-pass the lethality of embryos lacking Sos1, tamoxifen-induced Sos1-null mice were generated. Using our available Sos2-mutant mice, double knockout Sos1/Sos2 animals were also produced.

Bidirectional Signals Transduced by TOPK-ERK Interaction Increase Tumorigenesis of HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells

Gastroenterology, 2007
Aberrant activation of Ras and Raf in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling has been linked with cancer. However, the role of MAPK kinases (MAPKKs or MEKs) in cancer is unclear, although constitutively activated MEK1, which does not exist in nature, is "oncogenic." Herein, we found that T-cell-originated protein kinase (TOPK), a member of ...

Solubilized antigen of Blastocystis hominis facilitates the growth of human colorectal cancer cells, HCT116

Parasitology Research, 2010
Blastocystis hominis is one of the most common intestinal protozoan parasites in humans, and reports have shown that blastocystosis is coupled with intestinal disorders. In the past, researchers have developed an in vitro model using B. hominis culture filtrates to investigate its ability in triggering inflammatory cytokine responses and transcription ...

Butyrate-Induced Apoptosis in HCT116 Colorectal Cancer Cells Includes Induction of a Cell Stress Response

Journal of Proteome Research, 2011
Short chain fatty acids (SCFA), principally butyrate, propionate, and acetate, are produced in the gut through the fermentation of dietary fiber by the colonic microbiotica. Butyrate in particular is the preferred energy source for the cells in the colonic mucosa and has been demonstrated to induce apoptosis in colorectal cancer cell lines.

[Adiponectin inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in colorectal cancer HCT116 cells].

Xi bao yu fen zi mian yi xue za zhi = Chinese journal of cellular and molecular immunology, 2018
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum adiponectin level and risk of colorectal cancer, and to explore the effect of recombinant adiponectin on the proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer HCT116 cells. Methods Serum adiponectin levels in patients with colorectal cancer and healthy controls were dectected by ELISA.

[Effect of indomethacin on human colorectal cancer cells HCT116 and SW480].

Zhong nan da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Central South University. Medical sciences, 2006
To explore the effect of indomethacin on COX non-expressing colon cancer cells (HCT116 and SW480).We used MTT assay to assess the effect of indomethacin on the growth of the cultured cells. Transplanted tumor models were established with BALB/c nude mice and were treated with indomethacin at 3 mg/(kg x d) for 4 weeks. Tumor volume and mouse weight were

Characterization of cancer stem cell drug resistance in the human colorectal cancer cell lines HCT116 and SW480

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2017
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) share a number of properties with somatic stem cells including heightened protective mechanisms and the ability to self-renew. CSCs are a critical subpopulation of cancer cells implicated in tumor formation, metastases and recurrence.We used serial colonosphere culture to enrich for CSCs from two human CRC cell lines.

Effects of symptomatic and asymptomatic isolates of Blastocystis hominis on colorectal cancer cell line, HCT116

Parasitology Research, 2012
The pathogenesis of Blastocystis hominis in human hosts has always been a matter of debate as it is present in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals. A recent report showed that B. hominis isolated from an asymptomatic individual could facilitate the proliferation and growth of existing cancer cells while having the potential to downregulate ...
