Drug ID: DB01229 (APRD00259, DB05261, DB05927, DB05526, DB05281)
Drug Name: Paclitaxel
Drug Method: The expression levels of miRNA were determined by Quantitative real time RT-PCR and those of protein were by Western blot analysis. In the study, we observed that STAT3 exerted anti-apoptotic effects in breast cancer cells. On the other hand, miR-17-5p induced apoptosis in breast cancer cells, and overexpression of miR-17-5p sensitized MCF-7 cells to paclitaxel-induced apoptosis via STAT3. Overexpression of STAT3 in MCF-7 cells decreased paclitaxel-induced apoptosis, but STAT3 knockout abolished the miR-17-5p-induced increases in apoptosis. Finally, miR-17-5p promoted apoptosis by increasing p53 expression, which was inhibited by STAT3.
