1 Aspirin promotes apoptosis in a murine model of colorectal cancer by mechanisms involving downregulation of IL-6-STAT3 signaling pathway. Aspirin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
2 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Aspirin is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and it showed inhibited effects on interleukin 6 (IL-6)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway which is thought to play an important role in intestinal inflammation and the tumorigenesis of CRC. Aspirin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
3 BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Aspirin is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), and it showed inhibited effects on interleukin 6 (IL-6)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway which is thought to play an important role in intestinal inflammation and the tumorigenesis of CRC. Aspirin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
4 The expression level of IL-6, which is an upstream molecule of STAT3 and capable of activating STAT3, was reduced in aspirin-treated mice. Aspirin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
5 CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggested that the protective mechanisms of aspirin in CRC may be associated with its effects on induction of CRC cell apoptosis and suppression of IL-6-STAT3 signaling pathway, which implied that aspirin has a potential therapeutic activity in CRC. Aspirin interleukin 6 Mus musculus
6 CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggested that the protective mechanisms of aspirin in CRC may be associated with its effects on induction of CRC cell apoptosis and suppression of IL-6-STAT3 signaling pathway, which implied that aspirin has a potential therapeutic activity in CRC.
