The Interferon-inducible gene, IFI16 has been implicated in the control of cell growth, apoptosis, angiogenesis and immunomodulation. In a previous study we demonstrated that restoring levels of IFI16 in a head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)-derived cell line, HNO136, reduced its growth in vitro accompanied by a marked increase in doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. To evaluate the ability of IFI16 to inhibit in vivo tumorigenesis of HNO136 cells and to characterize the molecular mechanisms...
