- Abstract
Methyl jasmonate (MJ) is a plant stress hormone with selective cytotoxic anti-cancer activities. The TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) death pathway is an attractive target for cancer therapy. Although TRAIL receptors are specifically expressed in primary cancer cells and cancer cell lines, many types of cancer cells remain resistant to TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity. Here we have assessed a possible synergy between MJ and TRAIL cytotoxicity in colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines.
