STAT3β, a Splice Variant of Transcription Factor STAT3, Is a Dominant Negative Regulator of Transcription [PDF]
The 89-kDa STAT3 protein is a latent transcription factor which is activated in response to cytokines (interleukin (IL)-5 and -6) and growth factors (epidermal growth factor). Binding of IL-5 to its specific receptor activates JAK2 which leads to the tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 proteins.

Foxm1 mediates LIF/Stat3-dependent self-renewal in mouse embryonic stem cells and is essential for the generation of induced pluripotent stem cells. [PDF]
Activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) by leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is required for maintaining self-renewal and pluripotency of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs).

Crohn's disease: Th1, Th17 or both? The change of a paradigm: new immunological and genetic insights implicate Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease [PDF]
Traditionally, Crohn's disease has been associated with a Th1 cytokine profile, while Th2 cytokines are modulators of ulcerative colitis. This concept has been challenged by the description of tolerising regulatory T cells (Treg) and by proinflammatory ...

STAT3 is Activated by CTGF-mediated Tumor-stroma Cross Talk to Promote HCC ProgressionSummary
Background & Aims: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is known as a pro-oncogenic transcription factor. Regarding liver carcinogenesis, however, it remains controversial whether activated STAT3 is pro- or anti-tumorigenic ...
