Core Tip
Core tip: Gallbladder cancer is characterized by early metastases, thus it is in urgent need to identify novel therapies to enhance the therapeutic effect. We have previously reported that Forkhead box M1 (FoxM1) expression was closely correlated with gallbladder carcinoma differentiation, Nevin stage and metastasis, indicating the potential roles of FoxM1 in gallbladder carcinoma. In this study, by regulating the expression of FoxM1 with small interfering RNAs, we demonstrated the impact of FoxM1 on cellular viability in a human gallbladder carcinoma cell line, which was probably via the regulation of cellular senescence, revealing FoxM1 as a potential target for gallbladder carcinoma therapy.
