However, epigenetic activation of <i>Ptsg-2</i> coupled with silencing of <i>Apc</i> and accumulation of C-JUN and <i>Ccnd1</i> may increase the risk of inflammation and cancer of the colon.
Promotion versus suppression of rat colon carcinogenesis by chlorophyllin and chlorophyll: modulation of apoptosis, cell proliferation, and beta-catenin/Tcf signaling.
Taken together, these data indicated that silibinin inhibits LoVo cell invasion with the reduction of MMP-2 presentation by attenuating AP-1 binding activity, suggesting a novel antimetastatic application for silibinin in colon cancer chemoprevention.
Taken together, these results suggest that natural chemopreventive compounds may have differential biological functions on the signal transduction pathways such as AP-1 in the intervention of colon cancer progression and carcinogenesis.
