In addition, β-elemene could also decrease cell viability and tumor volume via activating the glia maturation factor β (GMFβ)-dependent MKK3/6-p38 signaling pathway activation as well as inhibiting the ERK1/2-Bcl-2/survivin signaling pathway in glioblastoma U87 cells [16,17]. The gene discussed is BIRC5; the disease is neoplasm.
