CDH2 and colorectal carcinoma: Investigating the molecular mechanism underlying the observed inhibitory effect of 4-AAQB in the SOD2-rich CRC SP cells, which serve as in vitro CRC-SC models, the results of our Western blot analyses demonstrate that exposure to 5–10 μM 4-AAQB significantly down-regulates the expression level of SOD2, N-cadherin, vimentin, c-Myc, and Bcl-xL proteins, while up-regulating the expression of E-cadherin and Bax in the DLD-1 or HCT116 SP cells (Figure 5A,B).
