The number of colonies was enhanced by the adiponectin treatment at a dose as low as 2.5 μg/mL and up to 5 μg/mL; these data are not in accordance with previous results in other cancer cell models that showed inhibitory effects of adiponectin towards the colony formation of osteoblasts and colon cancer [26,27]. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
