Figure 2(E) shows that IL-6 was highly expressed in ovarian cancer tissues compared with normal tissues. In addition, IL-6 was also highly expressed in almost all ovarian cancer cell lines (Figure 2(F–H)). In accordance with IL-6, STAT3 and p-STAT3 expression was also increased in ovarian cancer cell lines (Figure 2(I,J)). This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and ovarian carcinoma.
