Cho, K.-N., et al. - Epicatechin gallate (ECG) is the third major catechin component in green tea, but it shows strong biological activity in some aspects, including apoptosis, cell growth inhibition, and membrane transport system in various cells. We previously reported that ECG induces activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), which is involved in pro-apoptosis in HCT-116 cells. In this report, we present a molecular mechanism by which ECG induces ATF3 expression at the transcriptional level
