Researchers detail in 'Possible roles of a tumor suppressor gene PIG11 in hepatocarcinogenesis and As2O3-induced apoptosis in liver cancer cells,' new data in cancer gene therapy. "Our previous studies demonstrated that p53-induced gene 11 (PIG11) was involved in arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3))-induced apoptosis in human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. Here, we studied further PIG11 expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cell lines and compared the sensitivity to As(2)O(3)-induced cell apoptosis in HepG2 and L-02 cells," scientists in Hengyang, People's Republic of China report. "PIG11 expression in human normal liver tissues, HCC tissues, and cell...
