Treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) decreases B-cell CLL/lymphoma 3 (BCL-3) expression in colorectal cancer cells. Low BCL-3 expressing SW480 (A) and high BCL-3 expressing HCT116 (B) and HCA7 (C) cells were seeded for 48 h prior to treatment with 20 mM 5-ASA. Data was assessed at 24, 48 and 72 h post treatment. Western analysis showed expression of BCL-3 was decreased in all cells at 24, 48 and 72 h. Quantification of BCL-3 by densitometry normalised to its control is shown. (D) The high endogenous BCL-3 expressing cells (HCT116 and HCA7) were seeded for 48 h prior to treatment with 0, 10 or 20 mM 5-ASA. Western analysis shows BCL-3 expression was suppressed with 10 and 20 mM 5-ASA 48 h post treatment.
