STAT3 Target Genes Relevant to Human Cancers
Since its discovery, the STAT3 transcription factor has been extensively studied for its function as a transcriptional regulator and its role as a mediator of development, normal physiology, and pathology of many diseases, including cancers. These efforts have uncovered an array of genes that can be positively and negatively regulated by STAT3, alone and in cooperation with other transcription ...
متن کاملSTAT3 Serine 727 Phosphorylation: A Relevant Target to Radiosensitize Human Glioblastoma.
Radiotherapy is an essential component of glioma standard treatment. Glioblastomas (GBM), however, display an important radioresistance leading to tumor recurrence. To improve patient prognosis, there is a need to radiosensitize GBM cells and to circumvent the mechanisms of resistance caused by interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment. STAT3 has been identified as a therapeut...
متن کاملInsertions and Deletions Target Lineage-Defining Genes in Human Cancers
Certain cell types function as factories, secreting large quantities of one or more proteins that are central to the physiology of the respective organ. Examples include surfactant proteins in lung alveoli, albumin in liver parenchyma, and lipase in the stomach lining. Whole-genome sequencing analysis of lung adenocarcinomas revealed noncoding somatic mutational hotspots near VMP1/MIR21 and ind...
متن کاملSTAT3-decoy oligodeoxynucleotide inhibits the growth of human lung cancer via down-regulating its target genes.
Double-stranded decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) is a promising approach for inhibiting gene transcription. Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3, a potent transcription factor, is usually constitutively activated in a variety of malignancies, and considered as an attractive drug target. In this study, it was noted that STAT3 was overactivated in human lung cancer cells, and...
متن کاملPrediction and Experimental Validation of Novel STAT3 Target Genes in Human Cancer Cells
The comprehensive identification of functional transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) is an important step in understanding complex transcriptional regulatory networks. This study presents a motif-based comparative approach, STAT-Finder, for identifying functional DNA binding sites of STAT3 transcription factor. STAT-Finder combines STAT-Scanner, which was designed to predict functional STA...
