STAT3 expression

Importantly, restoration of IFN signaling through re-expression of endogenous STING, enforced expression of IFN response factor 7 or administration of recombinant type I IFN re-established antitumor immunity, inhibiting metastatic SCLC in vivo. These data show the potential of augmenting the innate immune response to block metastatic SCLC.

In addition, CA induces apoptosis by enhancing the expression of Bax and caspase-3; and decreased expression of Bcl-2 in prostate cancer cells. Thus, CA might act as a therapeutical application against prostate cancer by targeting the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling axis.

Ferroptosis as the pathogenic mechanism of SCM could help predict its progression and clinical outcomes. STAT3 and MYC are related with ferroptosis and may serve as potential SCM predictor biomarkers.

The results show that compounds 2 and 3 induce apoptotic activity by blocking the PGK1- PKM2-STAT3 signaling pathway. The present investigation opens exciting possibilities for developing innovative new anticancer quinazolines bearing caffeoyl moiety.

The increased expression of KIF15 was found to be associated with the progression of NPC and play a role in the development of radioresistance in NPC. Inhibiting KIF15 was shown to impede tumor growth and improve the sensitivity of NPC to radiotherapy by triggering autophagy via the STAT3/ATG7 pathway.

Our study suggests that the targeting of PD-L1 with avelumab alters the expression of CD15 and IL-17RA, which play an important prognostic and therapeutic role in novel anticancer therapy.

Considering the highly specific homing ability of tumor cell-derived vesicles and the key role of the signal transduction and activation of the transcription factor 3 (STAT3) pathway in TNBC, we propose a synergistic therapeutic strategy that integrates gene therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy based on STAT3 short interfering RNA (siSTAT3) and doxorubicin (DOX)-functionalized tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs) (siSTAT3-DOX@TEV)...Moreover, mass cytometry and immunohistochemistry reveal the local immune activation effect of siSTAT3-DOX@TEV, with a significant increase in M1 macrophages, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells in tumor tissues. These results provide strong hints for the development of TEV-based chemo-gene therapeutic agents for TNBC treatment at the clinical level.

Our findings suggest that combining metformin with doxorubicin can enhance the anticancer activity of doxorubicin and decrease its cytotoxicity in a 4T1 breast cancer mouse model.

Specifically, Colivelin treatment abrogated the influences of CKIP-1 upregulation on the malignant phenotypes of GC cells. Collectively, CKIP-1 inhibits M2 macrophage polarization to suppress the progression of GC by inactivating JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Importantly, we found that MLB treatment inhibited the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway, and activation of JAK2-STAT3 signaling with interleukin 6 or overexpression STAT3 significantly suppressed the inhibitory effect of MLB. These findings provide evidence that MLB could inhibit CRC cell progression in vitro and might serve as a potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of CRC.

In this study, the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of NP and the chemotherapy agent doxorubicin (DX), a natural compound, on glioblastoma cells (U87) were investigated. Since it can suppress Jak2/Stat3, an important cancer cell proliferation pathway in glioblastoma, the combination of NP and DX can be used as an alternative treatment agent. But no synergistic effect of NP and DX on the U87 cells of the glioblastoma cell line was observed.

Compared with the FDCS group, EBV+ IFDCS patients had a significantly longer median PFS time (p<0.05). In conclusion, EBV+ IFDCS represents a group of tumors with unique clinical, morphological, immunological, prognostic, and molecular cytogenetic characteristics.
