CYP2C8 Suppress Proliferation, Migration, Invasion and Sorafenib Resistance of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via PI3K/Akt/p27kip1 Axis

Abstract

The results demonstrated that CYP2C8 enhances the anticancer activity of sorafenib in vitro assays and in tumor xenograft model, with Ki-67 down-regulation and PI3K/Akt/p27Kip1 axis inhibition. In conclusion, these findings hinted that CYP2C8 restricted malignant phenotype and sorafenib resistance in HCC via PI3K/Akt/p27^kip1 axis.
