Compounds MJ2, MJ8, MJ15, and MJ19 had a stronger effect on the expression of the BCL2, MDM2, AIFM2, IL6, and IL8 genes in the healthy BEAS-2B cell line than in the cancerous HCT116 cell line, which may indicate their potential protective effect on normal cells with limited effect on cancer cells. This evidence concerns the gene IL6 and cancer.
