Calcosin induces apoptosis in adenocarcinoma HT29 cells by inducing cytotoxic autophagy mediated by SIRT1/AMPK-induced inhibition of Akt/mTOR.

Conclusion, Calycosin stimulates CRC cell apoptosis and inhibits their invasion by acting as SIRT1 activator which induces activation of AMPK-induced inhibition of Akt/mTOR axis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. PMID: 31276230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
