Cyproheptadine inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis in urothelial carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo.
Cyproheptadine suppresses mTOR through the GSK3β/TSC2/mTOR and GSK3β/β-catenin axes.
Cells treated with cyproheptadine result in reduction of c-Myc, induction of p21, p27 and stabilization of Rb.
RNA-Seq found that the effect of cyproheptadine on UC cells may be due to up-regulation of ANGPTL4.
