In this study, following capsaicin treatment to acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CCRF-CEM, detecting apoptosis; determining gene expression profi les of JAK/STAT signaling pathway members STAT3, STAT5A,-5B, JAK2,IL-6 mRNA levels and clarifying possible molecular effect mechanism of capsaicin were aimed.
