“…Preclinical assays with cell lines and xenografts show that CNLs potentiate the effect of chemotherapy ( 114 – 116 , 120 ); reduce tumor proliferation mediated by apoptosis (increased cleavage of PARP and caspases) ( 110 – 112 , 114 , 116 – 119 , 121 , 123 ), autophagy (increased LC3-II and Atg5 levels) ( 117 , 122 ), necrosis ( 106 ), necroptosis ( 109 ), anoikis ( 108 ), mitophagy (mitochondrial membrane permeabilization) ( 116 , 119 , 121 – 123 ), and cell cycle arrest (increased p53 expression) ( 116 , 119 ); increase ROS levels ( 110 ); inhibit lysosomal function ( 116 , 122 ); inhibit integrin affinity ( 105 , 107 ); and target CD44 receptor ( 108 ), survivin ( 111 ), PI3K ( 107 , 114 ), MAPK ( 105 , 114 ), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) ( 112 , 121 ), Akt and Erk1/2 ( 110 , 115 ) signaling ( Figure 3 ).
