Semaglutide may slow mouth cancer growth by activating the p38 MAPK cell signaling pathway

Updated

Abstract

expression was elevated in OSCC cells and tissues compared to normal tissues.

  • Semaglutide inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of OSCC cells.
  • The treatment promoted apoptosis in OSCC cells.
  • Semaglutide activated the while having no significant effect on ERK1/2 or SAPK/JNK.
  • The pro-apoptotic effects of Semaglutide in OSCC cells are associated with P38 pathway activation.
  • In vivo experiments confirmed the inhibitory effect of Semaglutide on OSCC tumors in mice.
