Simvastatin and Oncolytic Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Actions on HeLa Cells

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Statins, the cholesterol-lowering drugs, are known to exert pleiotropic actions including anticancer and antiviral effects. The interaction between simvastatin and oncolytic vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a potential candidate for anticancer therapy, was investigated. HeLa cells in culture were exposed to simvastatin and/or VSV-green fluorescence protein (GFP) at different times and concentrations.
