Schematic representation of OENE induced apoptosis in prostate cancer in vitro. OENE inhibited the expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), cholesterol biosynthesis genes (HMGCR), and regulatory protein SREPB1. This might have resulted in cell growth inhibition, proliferation, and induced apoptosis. The induction of apoptosis was confirmed by monitoring BAX, BCL2, and caspase 3 protein expression.
