A study documented the reduction activity of FX on mRNA, myeloid cell leukemia (Mcl-1) expression, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) proteins in SGC-7901 and BGC-823 cell lines of human gastric cancer (GC)-inducing cell-cycle arrest in the S phase and mediating apoptosis at the G2/M phase (Yu et al., 2011). The gene discussed is STAT3; the disease is gastric cancer.
