Interestingly, we detected a significant decline in the transcript levels of senescence‐associated genes and pro‐inflammatory cytokines: C‐C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), matrix metallopeptidase 1 (MMP1), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and interferon‐β (IFN‐β) in human lung epithelial IMR‐90 (Figure 2a, Table S6) or human colorectal carcinoma epithelial Caco2 (Figure 2b, Table S6) cells exposed to VA. This evidence concerns the gene IFNB1 and colorectal carcinoma.
