Background/aim: Sorafenib® is a multi-kinase inhibitor and one of the few systemic treatment options for patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Resistance to Sorafenib® develops frequently and could be mediated by the NAD dependent deacetylase sirtuin (SIRT) 1, a master regulator of cellular energy metabolism and stress responses. We aimed to find out if Sorafenib® treatment depends on changes in cellular NAD le...
