Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine upregulation of Icmt expression is a common feature in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer regardless of age and disease stage. Ovarian cancer cell lines with higher Icmt levels are more resistant to chemotherapeutic agents. Icmt inhibition by siRNA or inhibitor cysmethynil suppresses growth and induces apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Icmt inhibition significantly augments chemotherapeutic agent's efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Ras activation is a critical effector of ICT in ovarian cancer cells Homo sapiens
