Research Abstract |
We found that conjugated eicosapentaenoic acid(cEPA), which is a major fish oil, had anti-cancer activity based on DNA polymerase inhibition. In human colon cancer cells, the post-irradiation addition of cEPA significantly enhanced cancer cell radiosensitivity and apoptosis. cEPA also enhanced the suppression of human colon cancer cell growth by gemcitabine, which is a major clinical anti-cancer drug. cEPA could be a anti-cancer enhancer for radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
