So far, treatment with anti-cancer agents has failed to achieve satisfactory results in hepatocellular carcinoma. In the process of hepatocarcinogenesis, ras has been shown to play a role. ras requires a farnesyl moiety for activation. It has been found that UCF I -C (manumycin). an antibiotic, inhi

## Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the response of the antioxidant defense system to two oxidative stressors, hydrogen peroxide and __tert__βbutyl hydroperoxide, in HepG2 cells in culture. The parameters evaluated included enzyme activity and gene expression of superoxide dismutase
The uptake of radiocopper by HepGZ cells is a saturable, temperature-dependent and cellular energy-independent process with a V,, of 7.1 f 0.2 pmoles min-' mg protein-' and an estimated K, of 3.3 f 0.5 wM. The rate of copper uptake is reduced at an equimolar concentration of albumin and is unaffecte
## Abstract Primary cultures of human hepatocytes and hepatoma cell line HepG2 are frequently used to evaluate the hepatic disposition of drugs and other xenobiotics. To check the variability of the expression of drugβmetabolizing enzymes in these in vitro models, expression of genes coding for sev

Recent findings have suggested that oxidative damage might contribute to the cytotoxicity and carcinogenicity of aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)). The induction of oxidative stress also plays an important role in the toxicity of another mycotoxin: ochratoxin A (OTA). In this study, the protective effect of r
