Evaluation of the Role of Hexokinase Type II in Cellular Proliferation and Apoptosis Using Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Lines
18 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The (18)F-FDG uptake pattern on PET could be an indicator of the prognosis and aggressiveness of various tumors, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Hexokinase, especially hexokinase type II (HKII), plays a critical role in (18)F-FDG uptake in rapidly growing tumors. We established a stable cell line overexpressing HKII by the transfection of full DNA of HKII to HCC cells (SNU449) that express...
