“ EGCG enhanced the effect of cisplatin and oxaliplatin-induced autophagy in DLD-1 and HT-29 cells, as characterized by the accumulation of LC3-II protein, the increase of acidic vesicular organelles (AVOs), and the formation of autophagosome.”
“Our findings suggest that combining EGCG with cisplatin or oxaliplatin could potentiate the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and oxaliplatin in colorectal cancer cells through autophagy related pathway.”
“Treatment of DLD-1 and HT-29 cells with EGCG plus cisplatin or oxaliplatin showed a synergistic effect on inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of cell death.”
