Figure 7. Molecular mechanism of high glucose promotes progression of CCA cells.

Figure 7

High glucose levels promoted the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of STAT3 which in turn activated the transcription of downstream target genes associated with aggressive phenotypes. High glucose also activated Src and stimulated STAT3 phosphorylation. Solid arrow = mechanism demonstrated in the present study; dashed arrow = unclarified mechanism.
