Beta-caryophyllene exhibits anti-proliferative effects through apoptosis induction and cell cycle modulation in multiple myeloma cells by Mannino, Federica

“…These effects were counteracted by AM630 co-incubation, thus confirming that BCP’s mechanism of action is mainly related to CB2R modulation. A decrease in β-catenin regulated the impaired cell cycle and especially promoted cyclin D1 and CDK 4/6 reduction. …”
