Abstract excerpt
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) and Survivin are constitutively up-regulated in various human tumor cells. We previously found Survivin to be significantly reduced in response to radiation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) but not in tumor cell lines. In this study, we examined the effect of Stat3 on Survivin expression in irradiated HUVECs and breast cancer cells. We...
