Butein impairs the protumorigenic activity of malignant pleural mesothelioma cells
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Chronic inflammation appears to be a driving force behind cancer progression. NFκB and STAT3 activation plays a pertinent role in this process by mediating chemoresistance and the acquisition of mesenchymal features of protumorigenic cells. Epidemiological data and experimental observations suggest that Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is a prototype of chronic inflammation-driven cancer. Chemoresistance is a...
