ENDUO, A NOVEL DERIVATIVE OF ENDOSTAR, INHIBITS THE MIGRATION OF COLON CANCER CELLS, SUPPRESSES MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE-2/9 EXPRESSION AND IMPEDES AKT/ERK ACTIVATION

Background/aims: Colon cancer remains a life-threating disease with increasing morbidity and mortality worldwide despite the advancement in modern medical treatment. Therefore, novel and effective anti-colon cancers drugs are urgently needed. In this study, we investigated the anti-metastatic property EnDuo, a modified version of Endostar, and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Colon cancer cells were treated with different concentrations of EnDuo (50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 200 μg/ mL), and En...
