Stat3 activation has been associated with cytokine-induced proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and transformation. Constitutively activated Stat3 has been found in many human tumors as well as v-abl- and v-src-transformed cell lines. Because of these correlations, we examined directly the relationship of activated Stat3 to cellular transformation and found that wild-type Stat3 enhances the transforming potential of v-src while three dominant negative Stat3 mutants inhibit v-src transformation. Stat3 wild-type or mutant proteins did not affect v-ras transformation. We conclude that Stat3 has a necessary role in v-src transformation.
Stat3激活与细胞因子诱导的增殖、抗凋亡及转化相关。在许多人类肿瘤以及v-abl和v-src转化的细胞系中均发现有组成型激活的Stat3。基于这些相关性,我们直接检测了激活的Stat3与细胞转化之间的关系,发现野生型Stat3增强了v-src的转化潜能,而三个显性负性Stat3突变体抑制了v-src转化。Stat3野生型或突变型蛋白不影响v-ras转化。我们得出结论,Stat3在v-src转化中起必要作用。
