AKT1 and malignant colon neoplasm: At the beginning, the viabilities of four types of colon cancer cells were analyzed after exposure to increasing concentrations of 2′-FL, and HCT116 cells were selected as the sensitive ones, which were applied in the further experiments; then, interestingly, 2′-FL (102.35 μM) was found to induce apoptosis of HCT116 cells, which coincides with significant changes in VEGFA/VEGFR2/p-PI3K/p-Akt/cleaved Caspase3 proteins.
