Mechanism of d-Glucaro-1,4-lactone enhancing the anticancer efficacy of lenvatinib via the IFN-γ-STAT3-PD-L1 signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma
1,4-GL potently synergizes with lenvatinib against HCC by enhancing oxidative stress, reconstituting antitumor immunity, and suppressing the STAT3/PD-L1 signaling axis, without perturbing lenvatinib pharmacokinetics. This defines a novel phytochemical-based combinatorial strategy with significant clinical translation potential for HCC therapy.
