STAT3 suppresses transcription of proapoptotic genes in cancer cells with the involvement of its N-terminal domain

Abstract excerpt

Activation of STAT3 in cancers leads to gene expression promoting cell proliferation and resistance to apoptosis, as well as tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and migration. In the characterization of effects of ST3-H2A2, a selective inhibitor of the STAT3 N-terminal domain (ND), we observed that the compound induced apoptotic death in cancer cells associated with robust activation of proapoptotic genes. Using ChIP...
