Increased SIRT6 levels in human colorectal cancer cells
Decreased the expression of the twist-related protein (Twist1) and glucose transporters (GLUT1) cancer genes
Increased the expression of the tumor-suppressor forkhead box O3 (FoXO3) gene in cells
These findings show anthocyanins like cyanidin can increase the activation of SIRT6, and thereby reduce the expression of cancer genes and cancer cel
