Abstract excerpt
The synergistic effect of combined drug therapy provides an enhanced treatment for advanced liver cancer. We aimed to investigate the underlying mechanism of cetuximab sensitization by rapamycin in hepatoma cells. Four hepatoma cell lines, HepG2, HuH7, SNU-387, and SNU-449, were treated with cetuximab or cetuximab plus rapamycin and growth inhibition was evaluated by measuring relative cell viability and cell...
