CASK Silence Enhances Chemosensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Through activating Apoptosis, Inducing JNK/c-Jun-Mediated Autophagic Cell Death and Decreasing ABCG2
Abstract:Background: Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients usually fail to be treated because of drug resistance, including sorafenib. Methods: The expression and prognostic role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine protein kinase (CASK) in HCC were assessed by combination of bioinformatic analysis and experimental validation. The effects of CASK in regulating proliferation, apoptosis and drug resistance of HCC cells in vitro and in vivo were investigated using gain- or loss-of-function strategies by perfo… Show more
