Linear relationship between Wnt activity levels and apoptosis in colorectal carcinoma cells exposed to butyrate
15 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
We have reported that butyrate, a fatty acid produced by dietary fiber that induces cell cycle arrest, differentiation and/or apoptosis in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) cells in vitro, modulates Wnt activity in 2 CRC cell lines (Bordonaro et al., Int. J. Cancer, 2002; 97:42-51). Our study determines how changes in the levels of Wnt activity induced by butyrate relate to the effects of butyrate on apoptosis, cell...
