Disease relevance of STAT3

  • To define the molecular mechanisms involved, the effect of peroxynitrite was determined on the activation of two transcription factors known to regulate VEGF expression during hypoxia and tumor angiogenesis-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) [1].
  • CONCLUSIONS: The present study showed that STAT3 is expressed and activated in kidneys of rats with modified immune complex glomerulonephritis [2].
  • IL-6 signaling is activated during human chronic atrophic gastritis with Helicobacter pylori infection, and aberrant Stat3 signaling activation gives rise to mouse gastric tumors [3].

Associations of STAT3 with chemical compounds

  • BK also activates the mitogen-activated p44 and p42 protein kinases, resulting in STAT3 serine phosphorylation [7].
  • Activation results in the tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent nuclear translocation of STAT3 [7].
  • LPS-responsive regions of the promoter were localized to the region from -1029 to -543 containing one STAT3 site and two NF-kappaB sites, and the region from -4355 to -2462 containing three AP1 sites and six NF-kappaB sites [8].
  • Finally, fosinopril downregulated STAT3 activation and ED-1 influx, which are effects that may attenuate renal damage in this model [2].
  • Conversely, exposure of ECs to a NOS inhibitor reversed the effects of resveratrol upon IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation [6].
 

Enzymatic interactions of STAT3

  • In contrast, nuclear levels of STAT-1 and phosphorylated STAT-3 were elevated in a time-dependent manner in response to IFNgamma treatment [9].
