TLDR
The essential role of Stat3 downstream of Jaks is demonstrated by inhibition of tumor growth using short hairpin RNA targeting Stat3, supporting a key role of Jak kinase activity in Stat3-dependent tumorigenesis.

Immunity, Inflammation, and Cancer

TL;DR: The principal mechanisms that govern the effects of inflammation and immunity on tumor development are outlined and attractive new targets for cancer therapy and prevention are discussed.

Natural Innate and Adaptive Immunity to Cancer

TL;DR: Current experimental and human clinical data supporting a cancer immunoediting process that provide the fundamental basis for further study of immunity to cancer and for the rational design of immunotherapies against cancer are discussed.

Targeting the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signalling axis in cancer.

TL;DR: Treatments that target the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway in patients with cancer are poised to provide therapeutic benefit by directly inhibiting tumour cell growth and by stimulating antitumour immunity.

Jak-STAT pathways and transcriptional activation in response to IFNs and other extracellular signaling proteins

TL;DR: A previously unrecognized direct signal transduction pathway to the nucleus has been uncovered: IFN-receptor interaction at the cell surface leads to the activation of kinases of the Jak family that phosphorylate substrate proteins called STATs (signal transducers and activators of transcription).

STATs and Gene Regulation

TL;DR: The discovery of a STAT in Drosophila, and most recently in Dictyostelium discoideum, implies an ancient evolutionary origin for this dual-function set of proteins.

Stat3 as an Oncogene

TL;DR: Substitution of two cysteine residues within the C-terminal loop of the SH2 domain of Stat3 produces a molecule that dimerizes spontaneously, binds to DNA, and activates transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

The STATs of cancer — new molecular targets come of age

TL;DR: Tumour cells acquire the ability to proliferate uncontrollably, resist apoptosis, sustain angiogenesis and evade immune surveillance, and STAT proteins — especially STAT3 and STAT5 — regulate all of these processes and are persistence activated in a surprisingly large number of human cancers.

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.
