A study conducted by Chen et al. (2015) by using an irinotecan-resistant (CPT-11-R) LoVo colon cancer cell line showed that 2 μM TQ induced apoptosis and activated mitochondrial outer membrane permeability (MOMP), inducing autophagic cell death at the beginning of autophagosome by triggering the autophagy proteins, such as JC-1, Atg5, Atg7, Atg12, LAMP2, Beclin-1, LC3, LC3-II, and SQSTM1/p62 [79]. Here, SQSTM1 is linked to malignant colon neoplasm.
