Assessment of the Influence of 5-fluorouracil on the SMAD4 Gene Expression, Apoptosis induction and DNA Damage in the Human CACO-2 Cell Line

Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world. There are two major distinct precursor lesion pathways: the traditional adenoma–carcinoma pathway leading to most cases CRC, and the serrated neoplasia pathway. SMAD4 gene is involved in adenoma–carcinoma pathway. The protein encoded by the SMAD4 gene is a key downstream signaling mediator in the TGFβ pathway. This pathway has tumor-suppressor functions, including cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. Its activation in late-stage cancer can p… Show more
