AKT/ERK signaling and anti-apoptosis effects are crucial in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Lenvatinib and Amentoflavone have the potential to alleviate HCC growth, and their combination may result in stronger suppression.
Background/Aim: AKT/ERK signaling transduction and anti-apoptosis effects have both been recognized as important mediators of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. Targeting AKT/ERK signaling and mediating apoptosis may be beneficial for alleviating HCC growth. Lenvatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been approved by the FDA to treat HCC since 2018 as a monotherapy with limited efficacy. Amentoflavone, a biflavonoid in natural plants, has been shown to have the potential to suppress HCC progression in previous studies. Whether the combination of lenvatinib and amentoflavone may show superior HCC suppression is unclear. Materials and Methods: We used MTT, flow cytometry and western blotting assays to identify the role of lenvatinib and amentoflavone in both Hep3B and Huh7
