DDIT3 and malignant colon neoplasm: In colon cancer cells, treatment with bupivacaine and levobupivacaine significantly inhibited cell migration (**p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001; n = 4) and proliferation (**p < 0.01; n = 4), while increasing the expression of CHOP (***p < 0.001; n = 4) and decreased the expression of Grp78 (*p < 0.05; n = 4).
