| Experimental
Result(s) |
Treatment with subeffective doses of simvastatin or gamma-tocotrienol alone had no effect, whereas combined treatment of these compounds resulted in a relatively large decrease in intracellular levels of phosphorylated (activated) MAPK, JNK, p38, and Akt. | |||||

| In-vitro Model | NCI-H2052 | CVCL_1518 | Pleural sarcomatoid mesothelioma | Homo sapiens | ||
| NCI-H28 | CVCL_1555 | Pleural sarcomatoid mesothelioma | Homo sapiens | |||
| NCI-H2452 | CVCL_1553 | Pleural biphasic mesothelioma | Homo sapiens | |||
| MSTO-211H | CVCL_1430 | Pleural biphasic mesothelioma | Homo sapiens | |||
| Experimental
Result(s) |
Statin + Gamma-T3 combinations induced greater cell growth inhibition more than each single treatment via inhibition of mevalonate pathway, a well-known target of both Gamma-T3 and statins. | |||||
