Our results show that aspirin and salicylate downregulate Sp1, Sp3, Sp4 and several Sp-regulated gene products in colon cancer cells and identifies an important pathway for the anticancer activity of aspirin that is consistent with RNA interference (RNAi) studies in which knockdown Sp1, Sp3 and Sp4 in cancer cells also inhibits growth and induces apoptosis [24]–[26]. This evidence concerns the gene SP3 and malignant colon neoplasm.
