CASP3 and cancer: Or in prostate cancer SS by inducing p53 protein expression can suppress cancer cells developments [23], and induce apoptosis by increasing DNA damage in HepG2 cells [24], there are different studies about the inducing effects of SS on mitochondrial apoptosis signaling pathway which can be related to caspase-8 and -9 up regulation in hepatoma, or up regulation cytochrome c, BAK, and BAX and cleaved caspase-3 and 9 in ovarian cancer cell lines [23, 24].
