Core Tip Ferula assafoetida (F. assafoetida) could be considered a potential differentiating agent for colon cancer cells through increasing the alkaline phosphatase activity, as well as upregulation of JNK and MAPK gene expression. Additionally, it has important implications for cancer therapy through arresting cells in the sub-G1 phase, inducing cytotoxicity, DNA fragmentation, and apoptosis in the cancer cells compared to those treated with sodium butyrate (NaBT), and untreated control cells. Moreover, F. assafoetida has a protective impact against the cellular oxidative stress revealed by the significant increase in the total antioxidant concentration and glutathione level, while a significant decrease in the malondialdehyde levels in the Caco cells compared to cells treated with NaBT, and the untreated control cells. F. assafoetida is a useful, efficient, inexpensive, and novel therapeutic medicinal herps for colon cancer patients.
