| Abstract | Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a ubiquitous organochlorine pollutant in the environment and has been associated with colorectal cancer development. The present study investigated the possible effects of p,p′-DDT on the apoptosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma cells and the relevant molecular mechanism. The results indicated that exposure to low concentrations of p,p′-DDT (10−10, 10−9 and 10−8 M) for 96 h markedly inhibited the apoptosis of human colorectal adenocarcinoma DLD1 cells induced by 5-FU. Moreover, p,p′-DDT exposure led to upregulation of Bcl-2 along with downregulation of Bax and procaspase-3 in both DLD1 cells and tumor tissue of a mouse xenograft model. We also found that activated caspase-3 activity was decreased after p,p′-DDT treatment. The addition of estrogen receptor (ER) inhibitor, ICI 182780, had no significant effect on the action of p,p′-DDT. In addition, p,p′-DDT exposure could activate PI3K/AKT and Hedgehog/Gli1 signaling cascades. Treatment with the PI3K inhibitor LY294003 or the Hedgehog/Gli1 inhibitor GANT61 prevented p,p′-DDT-induced signaling pathways of PI3K/AKT and Hedgehog/Gli1, respectively. Consistently, LY294003 or GANT61 attenuated the ability of p,p′-DDT to suppress 5-FU-induced apoptosis in DLD1 cells. Taken together, our results demonstrated that p,p′-DDT inhibited the apoptosis of human colorectal adenocarcinoma DLD1 cells by activating PI3K/AKT and Hedgehog/Gli1 signaling pathways. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
