Interestingly, none of the specific SSTR agonists tested by Reynaert et al. influenced liver cancer proliferation or apoptosis, and only an SSTR1 agonist reduced the migration of HepG2 cells [91]; this suggesting that the stimulation of SSTR1 may decrease invasiveness of HCC via reducing cell migration. The gene discussed is SSTR1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
