1 Western blot analysis showed that adenine reduced expression of cyclin A/D1 and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)2 and upregulated p53, p21, Bax, PUMA, and NOXA in HepG2 cell. Adenine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
2 Moreover, adenine induced AMPK activation that was involved in the p53-associated apoptotic cascade in HepG2 cells. Adenine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
3 Conclusions: These findings reveal that adenine reduces the cell growth of HepG2 and SK-Hep-1 but not Hep3B cells, attributing to the AMPK/p53-mediated S phase arrest and apoptosis. Adenine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
4 It suggests that adenine has anticancer potential against p53-wild type HCC cells and may be beneficial as an adjuvant for HCC treatment. Adenine tumor protein p53 Homo sapiens
