Abstract

Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is one of the main targets for controlling hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, resveratrol (RES) was evaluated for its anti-cancer activity in vivo via modulation of EMT in HCC, and for its pro-apoptotic activity in HepG2 cell line in vitro. Methods: Rats were divided into five groups. Group-1 received the vehicles; Group-2 received RES; Group-3 received diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4); Group-4 received RES pretreatment and DEN/CCl4; Group-5 received DEN/CCl4 and RES posttreatment. Oxidative stress and hepatic function were evaluated. Akt and glycogen synthesis kinase3β (GSK3β) expression levels were determined. Furthermore, the impact of RES on HepG2 cell viability was investigated.
