Moreover, in SW480 CRC cells, characterized by stable accumulation of β-Catenin and truncated APC, the depletion of HSP105 decreased β-Catenin levels, reduced Wnt target genes expression and impaired cell proliferation through cleavage of PARP and Caspase 3, then substantially triggering apoptosis44. This evidence concerns the gene APC and colorectal carcinoma.
