Zusammenfassung
Aims: Beside proliferation and apoptosis the status of trans- or de-differentiation seems to play a key role in tumor initiation, progression or metastasizing. Inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACi) represent a novel therapeutic option for human cancer diseases. The aim of this study is to show the possible influence of epigenetic modifications on the differentiation mechanisms of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line xenografts. Materials and Methods: Human HCC cell line HepG2 was implanted subcutaneously (5×106 cells) in male NMRI mice. The pan-HDACi Panobinostat (LBH589) was applied in a dose of…
