Adiponectin exhibits potent antitumor activities. Herein, we examined the molecular mechanisms underlying suppression of tumor growth by globular adiponectin (gAcrp). We demonstrated that gAcrp suppressed B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) expression, an anti-apoptotic gene, by inducing its mRNA destabilization, which was accompanied with a decrease in cell viability and increased caspase-3 activity in hepatic cancer cells. In addition, gAcrp increased expression of tristetraprolin (TTP) and AU-rich elem ...[more]
