Disease relevance of Stat3

 

High impact information on Stat3

  • A two-step event is suggested for APRF/Stat3-dependent gene activation in hepatocytes [6].
  • GRIM-19, a gene product related to interferon-beta- and retinoic acid-induced cancer cell death, was identified and demonstrated to interact with Stat3 in various cell types [7].
  • Stat3 plays important roles in cell growth, anti-apoptosis and cell transformation, and is constitutively active in various cancers [7].
  • Immunoreactive Jak2, Tyk2, Stat1, and Stat3 were not detected in the intact artery [8].
  • Furthermore, local treatment with AG490 inhibited constitutive Stat3 phosphorylation and neointimal VSMC replication and subsequently reduced neointima formation in the injured artery [8].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Stat3

 

Biological context of Stat3

 

Anatomical context of Stat3

  • In vivo, Stat3 activation was dramatically suppressed by depletion of neutrophils or lung macrophages, resulting in reduced gene expression of IL-6 and IL-10 in whole lung tissues [2].
  • These data suggest in the lung injury model used that activation of Stat3 in lungs is macrophage dependent and neutrophil dependent [2].
  • We now show that Stat3 activation was triggered in lungs and in alveolar macrophages after intrapulmonary deposition of IgG immune complexes in rats [2].
  • Expression of all Stat3 mutants had no effect on NGF-induced neurite outgrowth [12].
  • In contrast, granulosa cells of untreated immature and H rats contained a high level of DNA binding activity, which was shown to be comprised entirely of activated, phosphorylated Stat3 [13].
 

Associations of Stat3 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Stat3

 

Enzymatic interactions of Stat3

  • RGCs as well as native retina expressed functional IL-10R as determined by immunoblot analysis and by the ability of IL-10 to phosphorylate Stat-3 [18].
 

Regulatory relationships of Stat3

  • Purified APRE binding factors (APRFs) from IL-6-stimulated rat liver were found to be composed of multiple Stat3-related proteins and Stat1 [19].
 

Other interactions of Stat3

  • Amino acid sequence analysis identified the 86- and 91-kDa species as two forms of the transcription factor Stat3 and the 92-kDa species as the factor Stat5b [1].
  • Here we examine the activation of Stat1 and Stat3 in rat astrocyte cultures and its involvement in cell death [15].
  • Collectively, these results indicate that Stat3 and Stat5 are activated by distinct cytokine-signaling pathways modulated through differentiation-dependent transcriptional regulation of signaling pathway components and mediate distinct functional processes in the rat ovary: early follicle growth and atresia vs. luteinization [13].
  • These results suggest, that APRF/Stat3 and p91/Stat1 are not the only factors mediating the effects of IL-6 on class 2 acute phase genes [20].
  • RESULTS: Shock animals demonstrated increased mRNA levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and increased activation of the transcription factors nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) and signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (Stat3) [21].
