Negative Regulation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 Signalling Cascade by Lupeol Inhibits Growth and Induces Apoptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells

Description: In this article, the authors evaluate the effect of lupeol on STAT3 signalling cascade and its regulated functional responses in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription signalling 3 (STAT3) has been linked with survival, proliferation and angiogenesis in a wide variety of malignancies including HCC. Lupeol exhibited its potential anticancer effects in HCC through the downregulation of STAT3-induced pro-survival signallingā€¦ more
