Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Mediated Stat3 Signaling Blocks Apoptosis in Head and Neck Cancer
1 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Upregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is critical for the loss of growth control in a variety of human cancers including squamous cell cancers of the head and neck (SCCHN). In these tumor cells in culture, EGFR stimulation initiates signaling via persistent activation of STAT proteins, particularly Stat3. The present study was conducted to study the association between EGFR...
