Given that the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) and Protein Kinase B/Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (Akt/mTOR) signaling pathways are frequently dysregulated in gastric and colon cancers and contribute to their progression, we investigated Tempol’s anti-cancer potential in HT29 (colon) and CRL-1739 (gastric) cancer cells. The gene discussed is WNK2; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
