Gossypol decreased cell viability and down-regulated the expression of a number of genes in human colon cancer cells

Abstract Plant polyphenol gossypol has anticancer activities. This may increase cottonseed value by using gossypol as a health intervention agent. It is necessary to understand its molecular mechanisms before human consumption. The aim was to uncover the effects of gossypol on cell viability and gen...
