Abstract: Extensive in vitro studies reveal that multiple intracellular targets of Antrodia cinnomomea affect cell growth, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. These intracellular targets include tumor suppressor gene, cell cycle regulatory protein, transcription factor, angiogenic and metastatic factors, and apoptotic and survival regulators. In addition, Antrodia cinnomomea has immunomodulatory propertie, which plays an anti-cancer effect indirectly by means of enhancing immunity.
