Targeting to the non-genomic activity of retinoic acid receptor-gamma by acacetin in hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract We recently demonstrated that retinoic acid receptor-γ (RARγ) is overexpressed and acts as a tumor promoter in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The oncogenic activity of RARγ is mainly attributed to its physiological interaction with p85α regulatory subunit of PI3K leading to constitutive ac...
