In the colon adenocarcinoma LS174T cell line, galacto-oligosaccharides (8.0 mg/mL) stimulates the increased expression of MUC2 but not as a consequence of intracellular signalling through an NFĸB-mediated inflammatory cascade but rather as a consequence of direct interaction with goblet cells through an unknown mechanism [21]. This evidence concerns the gene MUC2 and colon adenocarcinoma.
