Similarly, in HCT116 colon cancer cells treated with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), co‐treatment with 1 mM 4‐PBA markedly reversed DHEA‐induced upregulation of ER‐stress markers GRP78, phosphorylated PERK, ATF4, and CHOP, concomitantly attenuating downstream apoptotic effectors DR5 and PUMA as well as the cell‐cycle arrest marker p21 [19]. The gene discussed is EIF2AK3; the disease is malignant colon neoplasm.
