Lithocholic acid and sulphated lithocholic acid differ in the ability to promote matrix metalloproteinase secretion in the human colon cancer cell line CaCo-2.

Abstract excerpt

The human colon carcinoma cell line CaCo-2 has the ability to sulphate the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid (LA), whereas other primary or secondary bile acids were not sulphated [Halvorsen, Kase, Prydz, Gharagozlian, Andresen and Kolset (1999) Biochem. J. 343, 533--539]. To study the biological implications of this modification, CaCo-2 cells were incubated with either LA or sulphated lithocholic acid...
