Signaling Pathways title  IL6 STAT3

The IL6 STAT3 are two important biomarkers involved in a wide range of biological and pathophysiological processes.

 IL6

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine with roles in immunity, tissue regeneration, and metabolism, but excessive synthesis of IL-6 and dysregulation of IL-6 receptor signaling is involved in disease pathology (1) such as acute inflammatory responses, autoimmune diseases, and tumor formation (2).

STAT3

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is a transcription factor with many important functions in the biology of normal and transformed cells. Besides other functions, STAT3 is an important regulator of normal stem cells and cancer stem cells (3).

The IL-6/JAK/STAT3 pathway is aberrantly hyperactivated in many types of cancer. In the tumour microenvironment, IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signalling acts to drive the proliferation, survival, invasiveness, and metastasis of tumour cells, while strongly suppressing the antitumour immune response (4).

Signaling Pathways title  IL6 STAT3 Signaling Pathways

The main function of the classical pathway is to induce anti-inflammatory effects during the acute-phase response (5).

Signaling Pathways title  IL6 STAT3 signaling pathway and diseases

IL6-STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in a wide spectrum of diseases :
  • Saphenous vein graft failure (SVGF) (6).
  • STAT3 is considered a proto-oncogene and it is implicated in the development of various cancers, including multiple myeloma, leukaemia and lymphomas (7).
  • Osteosarcoma (7).
  • Colitis (8).
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (9). (2).
