Research progress of Antrodia cinnomomea on the anti-hepatocarcinoma mechanism / 国际肿瘤学杂志

ABSTRACT

Extensive in vitro studies reveal that multiple intracellular targets of Antrodia cinnomomea affect cell growth,apoptosis,angiogenesis,invasion and metastasis.These intracellular targets include tumor suppressor gene,cell cycle regulatory protein,transcription factor,angiogenic and metastatic factors,and apop-totic and survival regulators.In addition,Antrodia cinnomomea has immunomodulatory propertie,which plays an anti-cancer effect indirectly by means of enhancing immunity.
