Journal ArticleDOI

IL-6 and Stat3 Are Required for Survival of Intestinal Epithelial Cells and Development of Colitis-Associated Cancer

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that IL-6 is a critical tumor promoter during early CAC tumorigenesis and the NF-kappaB-IL-6-Stat3 cascade is an important regulator of the proliferation and survival of tumor-initiating IECs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary and Genetic Obesity Promote Liver Inflammation and Tumorigenesis by Enhancing IL-6 and TNF Expression

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that either dietary or genetic obesity is a potent bona fide liver tumor promoter in mice and obesity-promoted HCC development was dependent on enhanced production of the tumor-promoting cytokines IL-6 and TNF, which cause hepatic inflammation and activation of the oncogenic transcription factor STAT3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocyte Necrosis Induced by Oxidative Stress and IL-1α Release Mediate Carcinogen-Induced Compensatory Proliferation and Liver Tumorigenesis

TL;DR: Hepatocyte-specific p38 alpha ablation enhanced ROS accumulation and liver damage, which were prevented upon administration of an antioxidant, and IL-1 alpha release by necrotic hepatocytes is therefore an important mediator of liver tumorigenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatocyte IKKβ/NF-κB Inhibits Tumor Promotion and Progression by Preventing Oxidative Stress-Driven STAT3 Activation

TL;DR: A transplant system that allows initiated mouse hepatocytes to form hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) in host liver after a long latency and deletion of IKKbeta long after initiation accelerated HCC development and enhanced proliferation of tumor initiating cells.
