Historical Development of STAT3 Inhibitors and Early Results in Clinical Trials
Since the initial reports of constitutive STAT3 activation in cells transformed by viral oncoproteins, the critical role of STAT3 signaling in human cancers has been firmly established. Detailed understanding ...

Open AccessSynergistic anti-tumor effect of combined inhibition of EGFR and JAK/STAT3 pathways in human ovarian cancer
The EGFR signaling pathway is frequently activated in human ovarian cancer and associated with poor prognosis. However, inhibition of EGFR signaling in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer has been disappoin...

Revisiting STAT3 signalling in cancer: new and unexpected biological functions
The Janus kinases (JAKs) are major activators of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. JAK–STAT3 signalling is crucial for cancer d...

STAT3-induced S1PR1 expression is crucial for persistent STAT3 activation in tumors
Physiological Stat3 signaling is temporally restricted. In cancer, Stat3 activity is often persistently elevated and fosters progression through its effects on tumor cells and their microenvironment. This repo...

STATs in cancer inflammation and immunity: a leading role for STAT3
Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins have dual roles: they transduce signals through the cytoplasm and function as transcription fa...

Inhibiting Stat3 signaling in the hematopoietic system elicits multicomponent antitumor immunity
The immune system can act as an extrinsic suppressor of tumors. Therefore, tumor progression depends in part on mechanisms that downmodulate intrinsic immune surveillance. Identifying these inhibitory pathways...

Targeting STAT3 affects melanoma on multiple fronts
As a point of convergence for numerous oncogenic signaling pathways, STAT3 is constitutively-activated at 50 to 90% frequency in diverse human cancers, including melanoma. A critical role of STAT3 in tumor cel...

Correction: Corrigendum: Regulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses by Stat-3 signaling in tumor cells
Nat. Med. 10, 48–54 (2004) In Figure 3c, the x-axis label for the second bar from the left was incorrect. The label should read, “Stat-3β”. In Figure 4e (top), the y-axis label was incorrect. The label should ...

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...

Activating SRC mutation in a subset of advanced human colon cancers
The discovery of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) led to the identification of cellular Src (c–Src), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, which has since been implicated in the development of numerous human cancers1,2,3,4. c-...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 gene product (neurofibromin) associates with microtubules
The neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) gene was recently identified by positional cloning and found to encode a protein with structural and functional homology to mammalian and yeast GTPase-activating proteins (GA...
