Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the deadliest malignant tumors worldwide and its prevalence is increasing in South Korea. The efficacy of combined treatment with natural product‑derived and chemotherapy agents including curcumin combined with 5‑fluorouracil, resveratrol combined with cisplatin and epigallocatechin‑3‑gallate (EGCG) combined with cisplatin in preventing cancer progression and killing cancer cells has emerged. The Akt and Hippo signaling pathways serve a key role in colorectal tumor growth; however, the exact role of the crosstalk between Akt and Hippo signaling pathways in CRC remains poorly elucidated. The combined effect of UA and DOX on the cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and cell cycle of CRC cells were investigated by performing Cell proliferation assay, a soft agar colony formation assay, flow cytometry, wound healing assay and western blotting assay. Subsequently, the expression of AKT and Hippo signaling pathway‑associated proteins were also assessed by western blot assay. Moreover, a xenograft nude mouse model was constructed to verify the effects of UA and DOX on the tumorigenesis of HCT116 cell
