Interestingly, this inhibiting effect on tumor growth could be associated with STAT6 inhibition, as we found that Trimethylglycine was a putative inhibitor of STAT6 phosphorylation in in vivo and also in vitro assays, with similar results to those observed with the use of AS1517499 (specific STAT6 inhibitor). The gene discussed is STAT6; the disease is neoplasm.
