Abstract

We studied on the antiproliferative effects of bile acids and their derivatives on HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and its synthetic derivative HS-1030. and chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and its synthetic derivatives. HS-1199 and HS\ulcorner200, were used. We focused on the regulation of cell cycle and induction of apoptosis by these bile acid derivatives. (omitted)
