Figure 6. Controlling glucose level or using STAT3 inhibitor reduces the enhancing effect of high glucose on CCA cells.

Figure 6

The HG cells cultured in the high glucose media (H-HG) were switched to be cultured in normal glucose media (N-HG) and compared for (A) cell proliferation; (B) expression of p-STAT3 (Y705 and S727). The numbers represent the pSTAT3 to STAT3 ratios of each band; (C) The treatment of Stattic (STAT3 inhibitor) significantly reduced proliferation and (D) inhibited nuclear translocation of STAT3 and p-STAT3 (S727) of HG cells. NG and HG = cells were continuously cultured in normal and high glucose media; *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
