Description
After hepatoma, cells were transfected with shRNA, GPC-3 expression or proliferation was inhibited with promoting apoptosis, cell cycle arrested in G1 phase, alteration of hepatoma cell migration and invasion behaviors with down-regulation of β-catenin, IGF-II, and VEGF, and growth of nude mice xenograft tumors was significantly suppressed with the decreases in β-catenin, p-GSK3β, and cyclinD1 expression, suggesting that GPC-3 not only is a specific biomarker for HCC diagnosis, but also is a valuable molecular-target for HCC gene therapy.
