Abstract:
What's new? Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits vast molecular heterogeneity, suggesting that therapies aimed against targets that interact with multiple signaling pathways could be key to improving HCC outcome. Here, heat shock protein 90 (HSP90), a modulator of numerous signaling components, was found to be highly expressed in HCC. AUY922, an HSP90 inhibitor, blocked HCC cell growth in vitro and, in HepG2 liver carcinoma cells, induced apoptosis via caspase activation and β‐catenin fragmentation. These effects were not observed in Huh7 or SNU475 HCC cell lines. AUY922 also reduced tumor growth in vivo , marking HSP90 as a promising therapeutic target in HCC.
