They found that curcumin inhibited the secretion of IL‐6 and interleukin‐8 (IL‐8), phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and the co‐immunoprecipitation of phospho‐STAT3 with phospho‐focal adhesion kinase 397 (FAK397), thereby impeding cancer cell motility. The gene discussed is STAT3; the disease is cancer.
