MYC signaling mediates danazol-induced G2/M arrest in MDR KB/VIN cells. HeLaS3 and KB/VIN were treated with or without danazol for 72 hours. The whole-treated cells were extracted and analyzed by ELISA using antibodies specific to human (a) STAT3-pY705, (b) cMYC, (c) CDC25, (d) CDK1, and (e) p21. The results showed danazol reduced the concentration of MYC (c-Myc) and its upstream protein STAT3-pY705 in MDR KB/VIN cells. In addition, decreases in downstream signaling proteins, CDC25 and CDK1, were shown. Each experiment was performed in duplicate. Student’s t-test, *p < 0.05 compared with cells treated with medium only control.
