The MicroRNA let-7a Modulates Interleukin-6-dependent STAT-3 Survival Signaling in Malignant Human Cholangiocytes
13 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
The inflammation-associated cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) can contribute to tumor growth and resistance to therapy by the activation of survival mechanisms. In several human cancers, IL-6-activated survival signaling involves the signal transducers and activators of transcription (Stat) factors or protein kinase cascades. microRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous regulators of gene expression that are altered in...
