Schematic diagram of hypothesized mechanism of trans-FA effect of lung cancer cells. Trans-FA induced ROS leading to degradation of phosphorylated β-catenin. Trans-FA induced regulation of pro-survival proteins survivin and anti-survival protein Bax caused the anti-proliferation of lung cancer H1299 cells. Trans-FA also reduced the activity of both MMP-2 and MMP-9, causing the down-regulation of migration of H1299 cells
