Saffron and rosemary have shown promising anticancer activities against HCC through several mechanisms for instance, increasing apoptosis, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation, decreasing colony formation, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation, reducing the activity of Janus kinases (JAK)1, JAK2, protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, as well as lowering vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) amounts in preclinical fields. The gene discussed is JAK1; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
