We also found that ATO combined with CT reversed the upregulated expression of phosphorylated-STAT3Tyr705 stimulated by interleukin-6 and downregulated STAT3 direct target genes and the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, XIAP, and survivin but obviously upregulated the promoting apoptosis proteins Bak,.In vivo studies showed that ATO combined with CT decreased tumor growth. This evidence concerns the gene BIRC5 and neoplasm.
