STAT3 mediates IL-6-induced neuroendocrine differentiation in prostate cancer cells
15 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the human prostate cancer cell line LNCaP, interleukin (IL)-6 has been shown to regulate both growth and neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation. We recently observed that IL-6 mediated growth arrest in LNCaP by activating STAT 3. Since differentiation and growth arrest are often associated processes, we investigated whether STAT3 also mediated NE differentiation in this prostate cancer cell line....
