| medicine | 15-LOX-1 and its metabolites (13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid and 15-S-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid) have anti-carcinogenic effects in colorectal cancer. 15-LOX-1 is possibly of prognostic value in stage IV colon cancer survival | Homo sapiens |

|---|---|---|
| Homo sapiens | demethylation of DNA in some cell lines increases 15-LOX-1 expression. Increased levels of 15-LOX-1 are associated with downregulation of GATA-6 in Caco-2 colon cancer cells treated with sodium butyrate to induce cell differentiation and apoptosis. Activation of the cGMP-PKG system can induce the cellular expression of 15-LOX-1 in SW-480 colon cancer cells. 5-aza-2-deoxycytidine increases 15-LOX-1 expression. Interleukin-4 upregulates the 15-LOX-1 gene in HTB-38 and Caco-2 human colorectal cancer cell lines. Interleukin-13 upregulates the 15-LOX-1 gene in HTB-38 and Caco-2 human colorectal cancer cell lines | up |
