Sulindac is also used for the research of arthritis of the spine, gouty arthritis. Sulindac (sodium), as an immunomodulatory agent, can downregulate PD-L1 through the blockade of NF-κB signaling and modulates the response of pMMR colorectal cancer (CRC) to anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy, inhibits the development and progression of colorectal cancer CRC. Sulindac (sodium) also inhibits TGF-β1- induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and suppresses lung cancer cell migration and invasion via downregulation of SIRT1 [1] [2].

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2), an enzyme involved in fatty acid oxidation, serves as a prognostic biomarker for colorectal cancer (CRC). Overexpression of CPT2 activates phosphorylated p53, enhancing its expression, which in turn suppresses tumor growth and induces apoptosis. Conversely, a deficiency in CPT2 leads to the prevalent hereditary disorder of long-chain fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. Additionally, the downregulation of CPT2 correlates strongly with the advancement of multiple cancers, highlighting its importance in cancer research [1] [2].
