    Abstract: Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of liver X receptor agonist T0901317 on angiogenesis phenotype of liver cancer.
    Methods:The experimental study was conducted. Hepatocellular carcinoma MHCC97-H and Huh7 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cultured in vitro. Each cell line was divided into 3 groups: control group (non-treated), low concentration group (treated using 1 μmol/L T0901317) and high concentration group (treated using 3 μmol/L T0901317). Cell proliferation was counted with a CCK-8 assay. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied to confirm the relative mRNA expression of fatty acid synthetase (FAS) of liver X receptor target genes in 3 groups. Subcutaneous xenograft tumor volume and body mass were measured in MHCC97-H nude mice model. Then mice were sacrificed and tumor tissues were analyzed for CD31 relative expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Migration and vessel angiogenesis of HUVEC were determined by Transwell method. Observation indicators: (1) effects of T0901317 on MHCC97-H, Huh7 and HUVEC cells proliferation, (2) effects of T0901317 on liver X receptor with MHCC97-H, Huh7 and HUVEC cells, (3) effects of T0901317 on subcutaneous xenograft tumor growth in MHCC97-H nude mice model, (4) effects of T0901317 on CD31 relative expression in subcutaneous xenograft tumor tissues of MHCC97-H nude mice model, (5) effects of T0901317 on migration of HUVEC, (6) effects of T0901317 on vessel angiogenesis of HUVEC.
