Caveolin-1 Upregulation Mediates Suppression of Primary Breast Tumor Growth and Brain Metastases by Stat3 Inhibition
27 May 2011
Abstract excerpt
Stat3 activation has been implicated as an important driver of brain metastasis in breast cancer, but the critical targets of Stat3 in this process are yet to be fully defined. In this study, we identified the lipid raft organizing protein Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) as a critical genetic target of Stat3 in this process. In human breast cancers, we found that activated Stat3 correlated with attenuation of Cav-1 in brain...
