## Abstract A range of cell types of mesenchymal origin express Ξ±βsmooth muscle actin (Ξ±βSMA), a protein that plays a key role in controlling cell motility and differentiation along the fibrocyte and myofibroblast lineages. Although Ξ±βSMA is often expressed in stromal cells associated to a variety
We previously reported that a 21-kDa phosphoprotein may play an important role in superoxide production through dephosphorylation by neutrophillike differentiated HL-60 cells (Suzuki et al., 1995, Biochim Biophys Acta 1266: 261-267). The phosphoprotein was identified as cofilin, an actin-binding pro
## Abstract Phloretin (Ph), a natural product found in apples and pears with glucose transporter (GLUT) inhibitory activity, exerts antitumor effects. However, little is known about its effects on human liver cancer. The purpose of this study is to test the cytotoxic effects of Ph on HepG2 cells an
