Research progress of STAT3 inhibitors / 药学实践杂志

ABSTRACT

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a signal transcription protein that exists in the cytoplasm. The abnormal activation of STAT3 is closely related to cell proliferation, differentiation, and canceration. It has abnormal expression in cancer stem cells such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma, and lung cancer. Therefore, inhibiting the abnormal expression of STAT3 has become a new approach for antitumor therapy.
