Impact of high glucose on metastasis of colon cancer cells

Figure 7 Matrix metalloproteinase-9 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 expression in the 30 mmol/L glucose group. In the 30 mmol/L glucose group, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and nuclear-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) expression time-dependently increased and peaked at 8 h. Cytoplasmic STAT3 peaked at 10 h. n = 6 per group. c-STAT3: Cytoplasmic STAT3; n-STAT3: Nuclear STAT3.
