ALOX5 and colorectal carcinoma: As colon tumors present complex challenges, the research aimed to assess how the AS methanolic extracts impacted the expression of specific genes related to CRC, namely CASPS9, 5-LOX, Bcl2, Bcl-xL, and COX-2. The results demonstrated that the AS extracts, when applied to CRC cell lines, effectively upregulated CASPS9 expression, promoting apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner.
