Sodium cantharidate targets STAT3 and abrogates EGFR inhibitor resistance in osteosarcoma

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 6. Proposed model of osteosarcoma growth suppression upon dual treatment with sodium cantharidate and erlotinib. Combined treatment with sodium cantharidate (Sc) and erlotinib impedes erlotinib-induced activation of STAT3 and signaling through the STAT3/Bcl-2/MMP2 axis, leading to enhanced growth suppression in osteosarcoma.
