| Research Abstract |
Examples of drugs having dUTPase inhibitory effect was identified as a component of the Chinese herb Lithospermum a beta-HIVS. Create a similar compound of HIVS, it was confirmed liver cancer cell growth inhibitory effect. I have revealed a positive correlation of expression of dUTPase and EpCAM. In suppression of the expression of beta-catenin, the observed decrease in activity dUTpase promoter, expression of dUTPase found the possibility of being regulated in Wnt signaling, a strong expression of dUTPase activation of Wnt signaling.
The apparent correlation of EpCAM and Wnt / beta-catenin signaling and dUTPase, dUTPase as inhibitors, were identified, create a beta-HIVS similar compounds.
