The multi-kinase-inhibitor Sorafenib has been shown to prolong survival of patients suffering from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated effects of the serine/threonine kinase inhibitor 2-Dimethylamino-4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-1H-benzimidazole (DMAT) on experimental HCC growth, and identified mechanisms and target kinases of DMAT. Our results show that DMAT application in vivo reduced tumor growth in a xenotransplant model by interference with tumor cell proliferation. Biochemical parameters and histology following DMAT administration revealed no alterations in liver tissue. Similar to Sorafenib, DMAT interfered with NF kappa B activation and Wnt-signaling. Of the kinases inhibited by DMAT at almost equimolar IC(50), CK2 and PIM-3 were found to be over-expressed or more active in hepatoma cells and human HCC tissue. Knockdown of PIM-3 or CK2 by shRNA revealed that both kinases are important for hepatoma cell proliferation and survival. In conclusion, DMAT reduces HCC growth by interference with NF kappa B- and Wnt-signaling. PIM-3 and CK2 seem to be important target kinases. Inhibition of these kinases by application of inhibitors, e.g., DMAT, might represent a promising therapeutic approach in future HCC therapy.
