Cancer inflammation promotes cancer progression, resulting in a high risk of cancer. Here, we demonstrate that our new herbal extract, SH003, suppresses both tumor growth and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells via inhibiting STAT3-IL-6 signaling path. Our new herbal formula, SH003, mixed extract from Astragalus membranaceus, Angelica gigas, and Trichosanthes kirilowii Maximowicz, suppressed MDA-MB-231 tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo and reduced the viability and metastatic abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. Furthermore, SH003 inhibited STAT3 activation, which resulted in a reduction of IL-6 production. Therefore, we conclude that SH003 suppresses highly metastatic breast cancer growth and metastasis by inhibiting STAT3-IL-6 signaling path.
癌症炎症促进癌症进展,导致患癌风险升高。在此,我们证明我们的新型草药提取物SH003通过抑制STAT3-IL-6信号通路来抑制MDA-MB-231乳腺癌细胞的肿瘤生长和转移。我们的新型草药配方SH003是黄芪、当归和栝楼的混合提取物,在体内可抑制MDA-MB-231肿瘤生长和肺转移,并在体外降低MDA-MB-231细胞的活力和转移能力。此外,SH003抑制STAT3激活,从而导致IL-6产生减少。因此,我们得出结论,SH003通过抑制STAT3-IL-6信号通路来抑制高转移性乳腺癌的生长和转移。
