STMN1 and cervical carcinoma: In the present research, paclitaxel decreased the expression of stathmin 1, and propofol at high concentrations enhanced the effect of paclitaxel on stathmin 1 expression in cervical cancer cells, indicating that propofol and paclitaxel synergistically suppress the malignancy of cancer cells by downregulating the expression of stathmin 1.
