BECN1 and colorectal cancer: Upregulation of the master regulator for lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy transcriptional factor EB (TfEB) as well as the increased expression of LC-3 and Beclin-1 (predictive markers for colorectal cancer) contribute to the assumption that the exposure to E171 and the resulting induction of persistent inflammation could be associated with an increased risk for colorectal cancer [128].
