Numerous cytokines, growth factors, and oncogenic proteins activate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), which has been recognized as one of the common pathways in cancer cells. Stat3 signaling affects the expression and function of a variety of genes that are critical to cell survival, cell proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and immune evasion. Evidently, the Stat3 signaling pathway regulates cancer metastasis and constitutes a potential preventive and therapeutic target for cancer metastasis.
众多细胞因子、生长因子和致癌蛋白可激活信号转导子和转录激活子3(Stat3),该蛋白已被公认为癌细胞中的常见信号通路之一。Stat3信号传导影响多种对细胞存活、增殖、侵袭、血管生成和免疫逃逸至关重要的基因的表达和功能。显然,Stat3信号通路调节癌症转移,并构成癌症转移的潜在预防和治疗靶点。
