8-Methoxypsoralen Induces Intrinsic Apoptosis in HepG2 Cells: Involvement of Reactive Oxygen Species Generation and ERK1/2 Pathway Inhibition

8-Methoxypsoralen Induces Intrinsic Apoptosis in HepG2 Cells: Involvement of Reactive Oxygen Species Generation and ERK1/2 Pathway Inhibition

Background/Aims: 8-Methoxypsoralen (8-MOP), a formerly considered photosensitizing agent, induces apoptosis when used alone. On this basis, the present study was designed to explore the effects and mechanisms of 8-MOP-induced apoptosis in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells, independent of it...
