Tetrandrine induces apoptosis in human neuroblastoma through regulating the Hippo/YAP signaling pathway

Tetrandrine (TET), a bis-benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, shows cytotoxicity against several different types of tumors. However, the mechanism by which TET exerts its anti-cancer capabilities remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed that TET inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in neuroblastoma (NB) in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we revealed that the anti-cancer ability of TET is associated with a decreased expression of anti-apoptotic...
