Fig. 10From: Ilamycin C induces apoptosis and inhibits migration and invasion in triple-negative breast cancer by suppressing IL-6/STAT3 pathwaySchematic presentation of the anti-TNBC mechanism of Ilamycin C. The inhibition of IL-6 induced JAK2/STAT3 phosphorylation by Ilamycin C abrogates the function of p-STAT3 through decreasing the level of p-STAT3 in the nucleus, thus further regulating the expressions of its downstream target genes, which ultimately contributed to promote Bax/Bcl-2-related caspase-dependent apoptosis and suppress migration and invasion through MMP2/MMP9/vimentin/fascin in TNBC cellsBack to article page
