Moreover, genistein can influence metastasis and induce apoptosis by inhibiting Akt, as well as NF-κB cascades, in PC3 cell lines and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines, as well as inhibiting the IL-6/STAT3 pathway in MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cell lines, thus inhibiting cell proliferation [272,290,291]. Here, STAT3 is linked to breast carcinoma.
