In C26 colorectal adenocarcinoma mEHT-induced irreversible cell stress can activate both caspase-dependent apoptosis and p21waf1 mediated growth arrest pathways, likely to be driven by the upregulated nuclear p53 protein. Elevated phospho-p53(Ser15) might contribute to p53 escape from mdm2 control, which was further supported by reduced phospho-Akt(Ser473) protein levels. In combinations, mEHT could promote the uptake and significantly potentiate the cytotoxic effect of doxorubicin.
