In this study, we explored the function and mechanism of CDKN2B genes in verapamil (VER)-induced reversal of resistance to doxorubicin (ADM) chemotherapy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We examined 4 HCC cell lines and found that the expression levels of CDKN2B genes correlated with the level of apoptosis induced by ADM+VER. Overexpression of CDKN2B genes promoted apoptosis in cells treated with VER+ADM. CDKN2B knockdown using siRNA weakened the effect of ADM+VER, indicating that ADM+VER prom ...[more]
