Description: Gliotoxin, a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor, induces growth inhibition and apoptosis in multiple colorectal cancer cell lines with mutations of the Wnt signaling pathway. Gliotoxin is a mycotoxin produced by several moulds such as Aspergillus fumigatus. Gliotoxin activates PKA and increases...

Gliotoxin is an immunosuppressive mycotoxin produced by pathogenic strains of Aspergillus and other fungi with diverse biological activities. It inhibits 20S proteasomal chymotrypsin activity (IC50 = 10 µM), blocking the degradation of IkappaBalpha and preventing the activation of NF-kappaB. Gliotoxin induces...
