A rare case of a solitary fibrous tumor of vulva, displaying NAB2ex6-STAT6ex17 fusion
A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), although ubiquitous, is rarely documented in the female genital tract, especially confirmed by STAT6 immunostaining and underlying NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion.

IL-13 mediates collagen deposition via STAT6 and microRNA-135b: a role for epigenetics [PDF]
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease in which T cells play a prominent role. We and others have previously demonstrated a role for T cell-derived IL-13 in mediating the induction of collagen in dermal fibroblasts and that ...

Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma of the external auditory canal
Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma is an uncommon neoplasm that accounts for only 1–2% of all soft tissue tumors. To the best of our knowledge only three cases of this tumor have been described in the external auditory canal in the ...

A Gain-of-function Mutation in STAT6 [PDF]
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of asthma and allergic diseases. IL-4-induced gene expression is largely mediated through the activation of the latent transcription factor STAT6. We identified a STAT6 mutant (STAT6VT)) that is activated independently of IL-4 stimulation. STAT6VT carries two amino acid

Clinical biochemical significance of STAT6, ERG, and miR-647 expression in prostate cancer: Associations with tumor aggressiveness and patient prognosis [PDF]
Background: Reliable molecular indicators that can facilitate early detection and prognosis prediction in prostate cancer are still insufficient. Although Transcription 6 (STAT6), ERG, and microRNA-647 (miR-647) have recently been recognized as key ...

Functional expression of STAT6 in macrophages of the Mac-STAT6 mouse.
Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM, purity >95%) were generated and splenic B cells (purity > 90%) isolated from mice that do express STAT6 only under control of the LysMCre promoter (Mac-STAT6), STAT6 knockout mice (STAT6ko) and BALB/c wild-type (WT)

Primary Mediastinal B-cell Lymphoma (PMBL) is a specific subtype of B-cell lymphoma which shares some phenotypic and genotypic features with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). The genomic landscape of PMBL has not been fully elucidated, but has revealed the recurrent alteration of genes involved in JAK ...

Methylation of STAT6 Modulates STAT6 Phosphorylation, Nuclear Translocation, and DNA-Binding Activity [PDF]
Abstract Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 is a transcription factor important for the development of Th2 cells and regulation of gene expression by IL-4 and IL-13. It has been reported that STAT1 activity is regulated by methylation of a conserved arginine residue in the N-terminal domain.
