Our results showed that HPOE arrested HCT116 cells cycle at G2/M phase through P53-Cyclin B pathway and promoted apoptosis partly via mitochondrial (Caspase 9-Caspase 3) and death receptor (Caspase 8-Caspase 3) pathways. Meanwhile, it was found that HPOE aggravated HCT116 cells death through lysosomal vacuolation, which was verified by inhibitor/activator of P53-ILC3 signaling pathway. Taken together, HPOE exerted anticancer effects which lays the foundation for the development of functional foods for clinical colon cancer patients.
