SOD2 and colorectal carcinoma: In 2010, Martineti et al. (2010) reported that KMP triglyceride, a glycosylated flavonol derived from Dianthus caryophyllus cultivar, induces cell cycle arrest in HCT8 and estrogen receptor beta overexpressing CRC cells through raising the G(0)/G(1) cell fraction and antioxidant enzymes, in particular superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2), and metallothionein 2A (MT2A), respectively (Martineti et al., 2010).
