The REV-ERBα antagonist SR8278 exhibited therapeutic effects against HCC in vitro and in vivo. (A and B) MTS and colony formation assays were conducted for MHCC97H and Hep3B cells treated with 20 µM SR8278 for 24 h. (C and D) Scratch-wound-healing and matrigel invasion assays for SR8278-treated MHCC97H and Hep3B cells. (E) Subcutaneous tumor-growth curves for SR8278-treated MHCC97H cells (n=6 mice/group). (F) Dissected subcutaneous tumors (left panel) and their weights (right panel) (n=6 mice/group). (G) The number of lung metastasis nodules in each group (n=6 mice/group). Scale bar, 100 µm. *p <0.05.
