Fibulin-3(FBLN3) levels are different in different types of cancers. We found that fibulin-3 was downregulated in colorectal (CRC) cells, particularly in the SW480 cell line. By comparison, transfecting SW480 cells with a lentivirus overexpressing fibulin-3 RNA could inhibit proliferation, induce G1/S arrest, and promote cell apoptosis. Fibulin-3 overexpression further suppressed the invasion and metastasis of CRC. These effects were regulated through the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
