Fucoidan treatment of HCT-116 colon cancer cells resulted in downregulation of the ER protein 29 (ERp29), and activated the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (p-eIF2a)/CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) pro-apoptotic cascade [14]. Here, DDIT3 is linked to colonic neoplasm.
