Additionally, docosapentaenoic acid has been found to induce apoptosis and reduce cell proliferation of colorectal cancer cells, which have anticarcinogenic effects,55 further indicating that blockade of LINC01606 inhibits tumour growth in part by increasing docosapentaenoic acid levels, the anticarcinogenic effects of which may induce ferroptotic cell death through its own oxidation. The gene discussed is LINC01606; the disease is colorectal cancer.
