Other cancers Breast cancer
Target gene or protein STAT-3, AP-1, MMP9, IL-8
Gene or Protein evidence The TPA-stimulated nuclear translocation of AP-1 and STAT3 was attenuated by ML, suggesting that AP-1 and STAT3 are the main transcription factors involved in the signaling pathway regulated by ML. ML significantly downregulated MMP-9 and IL-8 expression in TPA-stimulated MCF7 cells, by inhibiting the ERK/STAT3/AP-1-mediated signaling pathway.
Target pathways ERK/STAT3/AP-1-mediated signaling pathway
IC50 NA
Potency These results suggested that ML is a potential pharmacological agent for breast cancer treatment, to block cancer invasion and migration.
Cell line/ mice model MCF-7
