The anti-CCA activity of AL in OV/DMN-induced CCA hamsters could be due to the induction of cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and activation of the apoptosis pathway, resulting in cancer cell death. The activation of the apoptosis pathway mainly involved the intrinsic pathway (activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9 through p53 and Mfge-8 modulation and downregulation of anti-apoptotic genes Akt and Bcl-2). In addition, AL could also inhibit the canonical TGF-β signaling pathway, MMP-9 and N-cadherin to suppress tumor metastasis.
