STAT3 overexpression

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.

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.

OAS1 overexpression influenced survival and immune cell infiltration in patients with LUAD, which might be a potential prognostic gene for LUAD. Moreover, OAS1 contributed to LUAD progression by participating in STAT3-miR-21-OAS1 axis.

Additionally, our study found that overexpression of ZNF263 enhanced the resistance of CRC cells to the chemoradiotherapy. In summary, this study not only elucidated the significant role of ZNF263 in CRC but also proposed novel approaches and methodologies for the diagnosis and treatment of this malignancy.

Synergistic anti-melanoma effects of SLE/TMZ have been observed in animal and cellular models. One of the mechanisms of SLE/TMZ that underlies its anti-melanoma actions is inhibition of the STAT3 pathway. This work offers pre-clinical pharmacological backing for the advancement of SLE as a therapeutic agent to be used in conjunction with TMZ for the treatment of melanoma.

We demonstrated that EA affected apoptosis by regulating the IL-22/JAK2-STAT3 pathway in NP cells and reducing inflammatory factors in the CIDD rat model. The results extend our knowledge of the mechanisms of action underlying the effects of EA as a potential treatment approach for CS in clinical practice.

miR-20a-5p alleviates neuronal damage and suppresses inflammation by targeting STAT3 in PD.

Cell counting kit-8 assay showed that PDP1 overexpression significantly raised MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 cell viability while STAT3 inhibitor S3I-201 recovered the cell growth to normal level. To summarize, PDP1 promotes the progression of BC through STAT3 pathway by regulating p-STAT3. The findings contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying BC progression, and opening avenues for targeted therapeutic approaches.

Besides, the animal experiments exhibited that the nude mice inoculated with NSCLC cells by silencing p300, STAT3 or MMP19 gene plus IL-17 treatment, the nodule number, and MMP19, Ack-STAT3, or p-STAT3 production in the lung metastatic nodules were all alleviated. Collectively, these outcomes uncover that IL-17-triggered NSCLC metastasis involves up-regulating MMP19 expression via the interaction of STAT3-K631 acetylation by p300 and its Y705-phosphorylation, which provides a new mechanistic insight and potential strategy for NSCLC metastasis and therapy.

Finally, a xenograft tumor model was established and found that silencing ESPL1 or DDP treatment inhibited tumor growth, while silencing ESPL1 combined with DDP treatment had the best effect. In summary, this study suggested that PAX2-mediated ESPL1 transcriptional activation enhanced cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer by activating JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Overexpression of miR-506-3p could inhibit the JAK2/STAT3 pathway and the malignant biological behaviors, then further reverse doxorubicin resistance in drug-resistant osteosarcoma cells. The study reported a new molecular mechanism for reversing the resistance of osteosarcoma to doxorubicin chemotherapy and provided theoretical support for solving the clinical problems of doxorubicin resistance in osteosarcoma.

However, these ferroptotic effects were ameliorated by deferoxamine and N-acetylcysteine. Additionally, AA-induced inhibition of cell growth and ferroptosis was suppressed by STAT3 and GPX4 overexpression, respectively. In summary, AA inhibited oropharyngeal cancer cell growth in vitro by regulating STAT3/GPX4-mediated ferroptosis, which may provide a novel theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of oropharyngeal cancer with AA.
