BACKGROUND/AIM: We previously reported the crucial roles of oncogenic Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homologue (KRAS) in inhibiting apoptosis and disrupting cell polarity via the regulation of phosphodiesterase type 4B2 (PDE4B2) expression in human colorectal cancer (CRC) HCT116 cells in a three-dimensional culture (3DC). Here, we evaluated the effects of apremilast, a selective PDE4 inhibitor, on luminal...
