Synergistic effects of anlotinib and DDP on breast cancer: targeting the VEGF/JAK2/STAT3 axis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Anlotinib, a highly selective inhibitor of VEGFR2, has demonstrated significant anti-tumor effects in various cancers. However, its potential synergistic effects with DDP (cisplatin) in breast cancer (BRCA) remain to be fully elucidated. This study aims to discover the therapeutic efficacy of anlotinib on BRCA, specifically the synergistic effects with DDP, and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: BRCA cells were treated with anlotinib and/or DDP. The proliferation, migration and invasion capabilities of BRCA cells were evaluated using CCK-8 assays, cell cycle distribution, clone formation assays, wound healing assays and transwell assays. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry technique and Hoechst33342 fluorescence staining. The potential mechanism of anlotinib in the development of BRCA was predicted through bioinformatics analysis, and the mRNA or protein levels were subsequently quantified using qPCR, immunofuorescence and western blot. The anti-breast cancer efficacy of anlotinib was evaluated Results: Our findings reveal that increased VEGFA expression in BRCA patients is associated with poorer prognosis, underscoring the need for targeted therapeutic strategies. We also demonstrate that both anlotinib and DDP independently inhibit BRCA cell growth, migration, and invasion, while their combination exhibits a synergistic effect, significantly enhancing the inhibition of these oncogenic processes. This synergy is further evident through the induction of apoptosis and autophagy in BRCA cells. Mechanistically, anlotinib's effectiveness is linked to its inhibition of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, a critical axis in BRCA progression. Conclusion: This study confirms the efficacy of anlotinib or in combination with DDP and elucidates the mechanism behind anlotinib's effectiveness, highlighting its role in inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.
