ANXA5 and malignant colon neoplasm: All compounds induced DNA damage (based on 8-oxo-guanidine, ɣH2AX staining in cells) and apoptosis (based on elevated DNA condensation/fragmentation, Annexin V staining, caspase 3/7 activity and mitochondrial membrane depolarization) in HCT-116 colon cancer cells. The increase in oxidative stress was also further confirmed in these cells.
