physiological function | down-regulation of NNMT in colorectal cancer HT-29 cells diminishes 5-fluorouracil resistance, while overexpression of NNMT in SW-480 cells enhances it. NNMT reduces reactive oxygen species production induced by 5-fluorouracil by increasing 1-methylnicotinamide in colorectal cancer cells. The reduction in ROS leads to inactivation of the ASK1-p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, which reduces 5-fluorouracil-induced apoptosis. In nude mice implanted with colorectal cancer xenografts, NNMT attenuates 5-fluorouracil-induced inhibition of colorectal cancer tumor growth | Homo sapiens |
