The STATs of cancer — new molecular targets come of age

Article

Regulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses by Stat-3 signaling in tumor cells

Although tumor progression involves processes such as tissue invasion that can activate inflammatory responses, the immune system largely ignores or tolerates disseminated cancers. The mechanisms that block in...

Activation of Stat3 by receptor tyrosine kinases and cytokines regulates survival in human non-small cell carcinoma cells

Overexpression of receptor tyrosine kinases including the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) as well as nonreceptor tyrosine kinases, such as Src, have been implicated in the formation of human lung canc...

STAT Proteins as Molecular Targets for Cancer Therapy

Constitutive activation of the STAT family members, Stat3 and Stat5, occurs at very high frequency in diverse human cancers. Persistent STAT signaling in tumor cells has been shown to increase the expression o...

Inhibition of Bcr–Abl kinase activity by PD180970 blocks constitutive activation of Stat5 and growth of CML cells

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disease characterized by the BCR–ABL genetic translocation and constitutive activation of the Abl tyrosine kinase. Among members of the Signal Transdu...

Roles of activated Src and Stat3 signaling in melanoma tumor cell growth

Activation of protein tyrosine kinases is prevalent in human cancers and previous studies have demonstrated that Stat3 signaling is a point of convergence for many of these tyrosine kinases. Moreover, a critic...

Identification of Src transformation fingerprint in human colon cancer

We used a classical rodent model of transformation to understand the transcriptional processes, and hence the molecular and cellular events a given cell undergoes when progressing from a normal to a transforme...

MEKK1-induced apoptosis requires TRAIL death receptor activation and is inhibited by AKT/PKB through inhibition of MEKK1 cleavage

MEK kinase 1 (MEKK1) induces apoptosis through the activation of caspases. The mechanism for MEKK1-induced apoptosis involves caspase-mediated cleavage of MEKK1, releasing a pro-apoptotic 91 kDa kinase fragmen...

Constitutive Stat3 activity up-regulates VEGF expression and tumor angiogenesis

Non-receptor and receptor tyrosine kinases, such as Src and EGF receptor (EGFR), are major inducers of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), one of the most potent mediators of angiogenesis. While tyrosin...

Requirement of Stat3 signaling for HGF/SF-Met mediated tumorigenesis

Hepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) mediates a wide variety of cellular responses by acting through the Met tyrosine kinase receptor. Inappropriate expression of HGF/SF and/or Met has been found i...

Constitutive activation of Stat3 by the Src and JAK tyrosine kinases participates in growth regulation of human breast carcinoma cells

Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins has been detected in a wide variety of human primary tumor specimens and tumor cell lines including blood malignancie...

STAT proteins: novel molecular targets for cancer drug discovery

Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STATs) are a family of cytoplasmic proteins with roles as signal messengers and transcription factors that participate in normal cellular responses to cytoki...

Induction of p21^WAF1/CIP1 and cyclin D1 expression by the Src oncoprotein in mouse fibroblasts: role of activated STAT3 signaling

While the activated viral Src oncoprotein, v-Src, induces uncontrolled cell growth, the mechanisms underlying cell cycle deregulation by v-Src have not been fully defined. Previous studies demonstrated that v-...
