CXC195 induces apoptosis and endoplastic reticulum stress in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway

CXC195 exhibits strong protective effects against neuronal apoptosis by exerting antioxidant activity. However, the pharmacological function of CXC195 in cancer remains to be elucidated. The present study demonstrated that CXC195 exhibited significant cytotoxic effects, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines. Following treatment of HepG2 cells with 150 µΜ CXC195 for 24 , cell...
