1 The role of STAT-3 in the induction of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells by benzyl isothiocyanate. benzyl isothiocyanate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 Homo sapiens
2 The effects of BITC treatment on tumor growth, apoptosis, and STAT-3 protein expression in vivo were studied in xenografts of BxPC-3 pancreatic tumor cells in athymic nude mice. benzyl isothiocyanate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 Homo sapiens
3 Overexpression of STAT-3 in BxPC-3 cells inhibited BITC-induced apoptosis and restored STAT-3 activity. benzyl isothiocyanate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: BITC induces apoptosis in some types of pancreatic cancer cells by inhibiting the STAT-3 signaling pathway. benzyl isothiocyanate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 Homo sapiens
