Abstract

Taraxasterol inhibits growth and induces apoptosis in human liver cancer cells. Taraxasterol enhances Hint1 expression by promoting demethylation in Hint1 promoter. Taraxasterol increases Hint1 levels to regulate Bax, Bcl2, and cyclinD1 expression. The effects of Taraxasterol are abrogated by Hint1 silencing in liver cancer cells. Taraxasterol inhibits the growth of subcutaneously implanted liver cancers in mice.
