In order to assess the effects of DON and NX-3 (1 μM) and also their combination with AURO (0.1 μM) on NF-κB-dependent cytokine transcription, two colon cell lines, the cancer cells HT-29 and the noncancer cells HCEC-1CT, were exposed to the Fusarium secondary metabolites in the presence of the pro-inflammatory stimulus IL-1β (25 ng/mL). Here, IL1B is linked to cancer.
