To confirm that BMX promotes cell proliferation and tumor formation through the STAT3 pathway in cervical cancer cells, the STAT3 inhibitor cryptotanshinone was used to inhibit the expression of p-STAT3 in HeLa-wt, HeLa-BMX+/−, SiHa-shGFP and SiHa-shBMX cells. The gene discussed is STAT3; the disease is cervical cancer.
