Tanshinone IIA sensitizes oral squamous cell carcinoma to radiation due to an enhanced autophagy

Highlights • The radiosensitizing effect of Tanshinone IIA on human oral squamous cell carcinoma was investigated. • The mechanisms rely on an enhanced reactive oxygen species generation and autophagy. • Tanshinone IIA may be a potential active components used to treat oral squamous cell carcinoma....
