Research Abstract |
Anicequol is a terpenoid derived from fungus. We aimed the elucidation of the mechanism underlying anicequol induced anoikis in colon cancer cell lines DLD1 and HT29. As a result, we showed that the p38MAPK pathway is associated with anicequol induced anoikis. In addition, Rho-kinase inhibitor Y27632 inhibited anicequol induced anoikis, suggesting that p38MAPK pathway links Rho pathway.
