Then, downregulated miR-205 or forced TSLC1 expression inhibited invasion, migration, and angiogenesis in CC, corresponding to suppressed cell proliferation, tube formation, and expression of IL-8, VEGF, and bFGF, as well as the inhibited activation of the Akt signaling pathway.
Blockade of IL-8 with an antibody demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects in a xenograft model and may thus provide a potential alternative approach for the treatment of cervical cancer.
Because IL-6 and IL-8 have been implicated in the pathogenesis of cervical cancer, we investigated the action of IL-17 on human cervical tumor cell lines in vitro and in vivo.
