The Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway was discovered more than a quarter-century ago. As a fulcrum of many vital cellular processes, the JAK/STAT pathway constitutes a rapid membrane-to-nucleus signaling module and induces the expression of various critical mediators of cancer and inflammation. Growing evidence suggests that dysregulation of the JAK/STAT pathway is associated with various cancers and autoimmune diseases. In this review, we discuss the current knowledge about the composition, activation, and regulation of the JAK/STAT pathway. Moreover, we highlight the role of the JAK/STAT pathway and its inhibitors in various diseases.
Janus 激酶/信号转导子和转录激活子(JAK/STAT)信号通路在四分之一个多世纪前被发现。作为许多重要细胞过程的支点,JAK/STAT 通路构成了一个快速的膜到核信号模块,并诱导癌症和炎症的各种关键介质的表达。越来越多的证据表明,JAK/STAT 通路的失调与各种癌症和自身免疫性疾病有关。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了关于 JAK/STAT 通路的组成、激活和调节的现有知识。此外,我们强调了 JAK/STAT 通路及其抑制剂在各种疾病中的作用。
