Protocatechualdehyde Induces S-Phase Arrest and Apoptosis by Stimulating the p27KIP1-Cyclin A/D1-CDK2 and Mitochondrial Apoptotic Pathways in HT-29 Cells

Protocatechualdehyde (PCA) extracted from Phellinus gilvus exhibits anti-cancer activity in human colorectal carcinoma cells (HT-29). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. We performed an in vitro study involving MTT, flow cytometry, RT-PCR, and western blot analyses to invest...
