1 Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway by statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR), resulted in reduced expression of FoxM1 and increased cell death in human hepatoma cells. Mevalonic Acid 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
2 Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway by statins, inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGCR), resulted in reduced expression of FoxM1 and increased cell death in human hepatoma cells. Mevalonic Acid 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
3 Re-exposure of mevalonate, a product of HMGCR, restored these effects. Mevalonic Acid 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
4 Likewise, knockdown of HMGCR reduced FoxM1 expression, indicating that FoxM1 expression was regulated by the mevalonate pathway in HCC. Mevalonic Acid 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
5 In surgically resected human HCC tissues, the gene expression of FoxM1 had a positive correlation with that of the mevalonate pathway-related genes, such as HMGCR or sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2). Mevalonic Acid 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
6 Furthermore, the gene expression of FoxM1 along with that of HMGCR or SREBP2 defined prognosis of HCC patients, suggesting the clinical significance of the mevalonate-FoxM1 pathway in human HCC. Mevalonic Acid 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Homo sapiens
