TUG1, miR-34a-5p, and VEGFA constitutes to a regulatory network, and participates in regulating hepatoblastoma cell function, tumor progression, and tumor angiogenesis.
HUH-6 human hepatoblastoma tumors were treated with hybrid adenoviral/adeno-associated viral expression vectors for PEDF (Hyb-PEDF, n = 4) or beta-galactosidase (Hyb-betagal, n = 4) daily for 4 d. Mitotic figures, microvascular density (MVD), PEDF, and VEGF expression were assessed.
Here we demonstrated that GSE could reduce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression in dose- and time course-dependently in MDA-MB231 breast cancer and HepG2 hepatoblastoma cell lines as measured by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction.
