21 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL6) promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) development. It is also known to regulate cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes, which are involved in CRC tumour initiation and promotion via activation of chemical carcinogens. Here, IL6 regulation of CYP450 expression was investigated in CRC. METHODS: The effect of IL6 on CYP 1A1, 1B1 and 2E1 expression was determined in...
