STAT3 and pancreatic neoplasm: Taking into account the results obtained in the combination experiments that showed a potentiation of sorafenib cytotoxicity by caryophyllane sesquiterpenes, especially β-caryophyllene oxide, and the recognized involvement of ABC-transporters and STAT3 signaling in the progression and chemoresistance of hepato-biliary-pancreatic cancers [27,28,29,30,31,32,33], a possible modulation by treatments of this cascade in Bx-PC3, associated with the observed changes in MDR1 and MRPs pumps, was also evaluated (Figure 11).
