The transcription factor STAT3 regulates genes governing critical cellular processes such as proliferation, survival, and self-renewal. While STAT3 transcriptional function is activated rapidly and transiently in response to physiologic signals, through a variety of mechanisms it can become constitutively activated in the pathogenesis of cancer. This leads to chronic expression of genes that underlie malignant cellular behavior. However, STAT3 is known to interact with other proteins, which may modulate its function. Understanding these interactions can provide insights into novel aspects of STAT3 function and may also suggest strategies to therapeutically target the large number of cancers driven by constitutively activated STAT3. To identify critical modulators of STAT3 transcriptional function, we performed an RNA-interference based screen in a cell-based system that allows quantitative measurement of STAT3 activity. From this approach, we identified CDK5 kinase regulatory-subunit associated protein 3 (CDK5RAP3) as an enhancer of STAT3-dependent gene expression. We found that STAT3 transcriptional function is modulated by CDK5RAP3 in cancer cells, and silencing CDK5RAP3 reduces STAT3-mediated tumorigenic phenotypes including clonogenesis and migration. Mechanistically, CDK5RAP3 binds to STAT3-regulated genomic loci, in a STAT3-dependent manner. In primary human breast cancers, the expression of CDK5RAP3 expression was associated with STAT3 gene expression signatures as well as the expression of individual STAT3 target genes. These findings reveal a novel aspect of STAT3 transcriptional function and potentially provide both a biomarker of enhanced STAT3-dependent gene expression as well as a unique mechanism to therapeutically target STAT3.
Phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) on a single tyrosine residue in response to growth factors, cytokines, interferons, and oncogenes activates its dimerization, translocation to the nucleus, binding to the interferon γ (gamma)-activated sequence (GAS) DNA-binding site and activation of transcription of target genes. STAT3 is constitutively phosphorylated in various cancers and drives gene expression from GAS-containing promoters to promote tumorigenesis. Recently, roles for unphosphorylated STAT3 (U-STAT3) have been described in response to cytokine stimulation, in cancers, and in maintenance of heterochromatin stability. However, the mechanisms underlying U-STAT3 binding to DNA has not been fully investigated. Here, we explore STAT3-DNA interactions by atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging. We observed that U-STAT3 molecules bind to the GAS DNA-binding site as dimers and monomers. In addition, we observed that U-STAT3 binds to AT-rich DNA sequence sites and recognizes specific DNA structures, such as 4-way junctions and DNA nodes, within negatively supercoiled plasmid DNA. These structures are important for chromatin organization and our data suggest a role for U-STAT3 as a chromatin/genome organizer. Unexpectedly, we found that a C-terminal truncated 67.5-kDa STAT3 isoform recognizes single-stranded spacers within cruciform structures that also have a role in chromatin organization and gene expression. This isoform appears to be abundant in the nuclei of cancer cells and, therefore, may have a role in regulation of gene expression. Taken together, our data highlight novel mechanisms by which U-STAT3 binds to DNA and supports U-STAT3 function as a transcriptional activator and a chromatin/genomic organizer.
Cyclic STAT3 decoy (CS3D) is a second-generation, double-stranded oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) that mimics a genomic response element for signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), an oncogenic transcription factor. CS3D competitively inhibits STAT3 binding to target gene promoters, resulting in decreased expression of proteins that promote cellular proliferation and survival. Previous studies have demonstrated antitumor activity of CS3D in preclinical models of solid tumors. However, prior to entering human clinical trials, the efficiency of generating the CS3D molecule and its stability in biological fluids should be determined. CS3D is synthesized as a single-stranded ODN and must have its free ends ligated to generate the final cyclic form. In this study, we report a ligation efficiency of nearly 95 percent. The ligated CS3D demonstrated a half-life of 7.9 h in human serum, indicating adequate stability for intravenous delivery. These results provide requisite biochemical characterization of CS3D that will inform upcoming clinical trials.
Keloid, marked by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix components, usually occurs after cutaneous trauma. The molecular mechanism involved in the etiology of keloid remains largely unknown in spite of extensive studies presented on the mechanism of Keloid. NEDD4 has come to be recognized as a potential mediator implicated in inflammation and keloid that could chronically develop. Despite this, the working mechanism of NEDD4 involved in keloid remains unclear. In our present report, STAT3 was identified as a novel transcriptional factor that can diametrically regulate the transcription of NEDD4 and the translation that ensues. The regulation by STAT3 over NEDD4 can be abolished as long as the p-STAT3 was inactivated in the presence of Niclosamide, a kind of inhibitors that work specifically on STAT3 signaling pathway. In turn, silencing of NEDD4 was also shown to be able to down-regulate the expression of p-STAT3. No direct protein-protein interactions between STAT3 and NEDD4 can be identified in our setting. The data we provided herein enrich the knowledge regarding the molecular mechanism of NEDD4 involved in the pathogenesis of keloid, defining a new regulatory role for STAT3 in keloid.
Human trefoil factor 3 (hTFF3) is a small peptide of potential therapeutic value. The mechanisms underlying the transcriptional regulation of hTFF3 remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to identify the core functional elements for the self-induction action of hTFF3 and transcription factors. First, truncated promoters were constructed to identify the functional regions of the hTFF3 promoter. Next, point mutation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, RNA interference, and gene overexpression experiments were performed to analyze the transcriptional binding sites responsible for the self-induced transcription of hTFF3. Our results revealed the -1450 bp to -1400 bp fragment of the hTFF3 promoter was the functional region for the self-induction action of hTFF3. Bioinformatics analysis confirmed that a STAT3 binding site is present in the -1417 bp to -1409 bp region. Subsequently, site-directed mutagenesis analysis determined that this STAT3 binding site was critical for the self-induction effect of hTFF3. ChIP experiments confirmed that STAT3 binds to the hTFF3 promoter. STAT3 overexpression and knockdown experiments revealed that STAT3 enhanced the self-induction effect and the expression of hTFF3. This study confirmed that hTFF3 exhibits self-induction action, and that STAT3 is the key transcription factor to maintain the function of self-induction.
Chaperonin Containing Tailless complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) is an essential molecular chaperone required for the folding of the abundant proteins actin and tubulin. The CCT oligomer also folds a range of other proteins and participates in non-folding activities such as providing assembly support for complexes of the von Hippel Lindau tumor suppressor protein and elongins. Here we show that the oncogenic transcription factor STAT3 binds to the CCT oligomer, but does not display the early binding upon translation in rabbit reticulocyte lysate typical of an obligate CCT folding substrate. Consistent with this, depletion of each of the CCT subunits by siRNA targeting indicates that loss of CCT oligomer does not suppress the activation steps of STAT3 upon stimulation with IL-6: phosphorylation, dimerisation and nuclear translocation. Furthermore, the transcriptional activity of STAT3 is not negatively affected by reduction in CCT levels. Instead, loss of CCT oligomer in MCF7 cells leads to an enhancement of STAT3 phosphorylation at Tyr705, implicating a role for the CCT oligomer in the sequestration of non-phosphorylated STAT3. Thus, as CCT is dynamic oligomer, the assembly state and also abundance of CCT oligomer may provide a means to modulate STAT3 phosphorylation.
STAT3, an essential transcription factor with pleiotropic functions, plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. Despite recent data linking STAT3 with inflammatory bowel disease, exactly how it contributes to chronic intestinal inflammation is not known. Using a T cell transfer model of colitis, we found that STAT3 expression in T cells was essential for the induction of both colitis and systemic inflammation. STAT3 was critical in modulating the balance of T helper 17 (Th17) and regulatory T (Treg) cells, as well as in promoting CD4(+) T cell proliferation. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq) to define the genome-wide targets of STAT3 in CD4(+) T cells. We found that STAT3 bound to multiple genes involved in Th17 cell differentiation, cell activation, proliferation, and survival, regulating both expression and epigenetic modifications. Thus, STAT3 orchestrates multiple critical aspects of T cell function in inflammation and homeostasis.
The signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) induces transcription of genes that control differentiation, inflammation, proliferation, and tumor cell invasion. Cytokines such as interleukin-6 and interferon stimulate the specific tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3, which confers its ability to bind consensus DNA targets. In addition, unphosphorylated STAT3 has been demonstrated to induce specific gene expression. STAT3 must gain entrance to the nucleus to impact transcription, however access to the nucleus is a tightly regulated process. Because nuclear trafficking is critical to the function of STAT3, we investigated the molecular mechanisms by which STAT3 is imported to the nucleus. Live cell imaging techniques were used with STAT3 tagged with green fluorescence protein (GFP) or photoactivatable GFP to follow the cellular dynamics of both unphosphorylated and tyrosine phosphorylated forms. Cytokine activation did not alter the rate of STAT3 nuclear import or nuclear export. In addition, Förster resonance energy transfer experiments revealed homomeric interaction of unphosphorylated STAT3 dependent on its amino terminus, but this dimerization is not necessary for its nuclear import. Previous work demonstrated the adapter importin-α3 binds to STAT3 and is required for nuclear import. To determine whether STAT3 nuclear import is mediated by the importin-α/importin-β1 heterodimer, the effects of siRNA to importin-β1 were evaluated. Results indicate STAT3 nuclear import is dependent on the function of importin-β1. Since the Ran GTPase is necessary to bind importin-β1 in the nucleus for release of importin-α-cargo, the effect of a GTPase deficient mutant of Ran was tested. Expression of the Ran interfering mutant inhibited STAT3 nuclear import. This study defines importin-α/importin-β1/Ran as the molecular mechanism by which STAT3 traffics to the nucleus.
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is an oncogenic transcription factor that promotes cell proliferation and immunomodulation in untransformed cells and maintains stemness of transformed cells, facilitating invasion and metastasis. Numerous point mutations in the STAT3 protein have been identified that drive malignancy in various tumor entities. The missense mutation D427H localized in the STAT3 DNA-binding domain has been previously reported in patients with NK/T cell lymphomas. To assess the biological activity of this missense mutation, we compared the STAT3-D427H mutant to wild-type (WT) protein as well as the known hyper-active mutant F174A.
Plasmablastic lymphoma mutational profile is undescribed. Here we performed a targeted exonic NGS analysis of 30 plasmablastic lymphoma cases with a B cell lymphoma dedicated panel and FISH for the detection of MYC rearrangements. A complete phenotyping of the neoplastic and microenvironment cell populations was also performed. We have identified an enrichment in recurrent genetic events in MYC (69% with MYC translocation or amplification and 3 cases with missense point mutations), PRDM1/Blimp1 and STAT3 mutations. These gene mutations were more frequent in EBV positive disease. Other genetic events included mutations in BRAF, EP300, BCR (CD79A and CD79B), NOTCH pathway (NOTCH2, NOTCH1 and SGK1) and MYD88pL265P. Immunohistochemical analysis showed consistent MYC expression, higher in cases with MYC rearrangements together with phospho-STAT3 (Tyr705) overexpression in cases with STAT3 SH2 domain mutations. Microenvironment populations were heterogeneous and unrelated with EBV, with an enrichment of Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAM) and PD1 positive T cells. PD-L1 was expressed in all cases in the TAM population but only in 5 cases in the neoplastic cells (4 out of 14 EBV positive cases). HLA expression was absent in the majority of PBL cases. In summary, Plasmablastic lymphoma mutational profile is heterogeneous and related with EBV infection. Genetic events in MYC, STAT3 and PRDM1/Blimp1 are more frequent in EBV positive disease. An enrichment in TAM and PD1 reactive T lymphocytes is found in the microenvironment of PBL cases, that express PD-L1 in the neoplastic cells in a fraction of cases.
Oligomerization of transcription factors controls their translocation into the nucleus and DNA-binding activity. Here we present a fluorescence microscopy analysis termed pCOMB (pair correlation of molecular brightness) that tracks the mobility of different oligomeric species within live cell nuclear architecture. pCOMB amplifies the signal from the brightest species present and filters the dynamics of the extracted oligomeric population based on arrival time between two locations. We use this method to demonstrate a dependence of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) mobility on oligomeric state. We find that on entering the nucleus STAT3 dimers must first bind DNA to form STAT3 tetramers, which are also DNA-bound but exhibit a different mobility signature. Examining the dimer-to-tetramer transition by a cross-pair correlation analysis (cpCOMB) reveals that chromatin accessibility modulates STAT3 tetramer formation. Thus, the pCOMB approach is suitable for mapping the impact oligomerization on transcription factor dynamics.
Autophagy in the proximal tubules may promote fibrosis by activating tubular cell death, interstitial inflammation, and the production of pro-fibrotic factors. The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is activated as a potential transcription factor, which mediates the stimulation of renal fibrosis. We investigated the role of the STAT3 in autophagy and its effect on the prevention of interstitial renal fibrosis. In this study, we use synthesized STAT3 decoy oligonucleotides (ODN), which were injected into the tail veins of unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mice, to explore the regulation of autophagy in UUO-induced renal fibrosis. The expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and collagen were decreased by STAT3 decoy ODN. The autophagy markers microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) and fibronectin, were identified through immunofluorescent staining, indicating that they were reduced in the group injected with ODN. The expressions of LC3, Beclin1, p62, and autophagy-related 5-12 (Atg5-12) and hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) were inhibited in the ODN injection group. We determined the inhibitory effect of autophagy in chronic kidney disease and confirmed that STAT3 decoy ODN effectively inhibited autophagy by inhibiting the expression of STAT3 transcription factors in the UUO group.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and innate immune responses and inflammation are known to affect the course of disease. Interferon (IFN) signaling in particular is critical for modulating inflammation-associated diseases including CRC. While the effects of IFN signaling in CRC have been studied, results have been conflicting. Furthermore, individual molecules in the IFN pathway that could be therapeutically targeted have distinct functions, with many of their diverse roles in CRC remaining unclear. Here, we found that IRF9 had an oncogenic effect in CRC; loss of IRF9 reduced tumorigenesis in both azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced and spontaneous CRC models. IRF9 also reduced DSS-induced colitis and inflammation in the colon, but it had no effect on the NF-κB and MAPK signaling activation. Instead, IRF9 enhanced the transcription and production of the inflammatory cytokine IL-6. By promoting IL-6 release, IRF9 drove the activation of pro-oncogenic STAT3 signaling in the colon. Overall, our study found that IRF9 promoted the development of CRC via modulation of the IL-6/STAT3 signaling axis, identifying multiple potential targets and suggesting new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of CRC.
Dengue fever is a significant mosquito-borne viral disease that affects millions of people every year. As a co-existing mechanism, DENV has evolved to evade elimination by the host antiviral immune system. DENV is reported to modulate host interferon response either by attenuating the factors that mediate interferon response like STAT1 and STAT2 or inhibiting the activation of STAT1 or by STAT2 degradation. Through this study we aim to understand how DENV modulates STAT3 mediated interferon response to its own advantage. We employed various techniques like Western blot, Confocal microscopy, RT-PCR to show that STAT3 acts as a pro-viral factor for DV-2 propagation. As per result of the present study STAT3 is upregulated as well as activated by phosphorylation in DV-2 infected A549 cells. Additionally, STAT3 knockdown led to a significant decrease in expression of viral proteins as well as viral replication. We show that DV-2 strategically tweaks STAT3 which is a negative regulator of Type I IFN signaling, in order to evade host Type I and Type III interferon response by upregulating its expression and activation. Our results demonstrate the proviral role of STAT3 for DV-2 propagation which is correlated to activation by tyrosine phosphorylation. Furthermore, since STAT3 is critical factor for DV-2 propagation, its modulation can facilitate targeted development of antivirals against Dengue.
Cardiac hypertrophy after myocardial infarction (MI) is an independent risk factor for heart failure. Regression of cardiac hypertrophy has emerged as a promising strategy in the treatment of MI patients. Here, we have been suggested that heat-shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) is a novel repressor of ischaemia-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Ligation of left anterior descending coronary was used to produce MI in HSF1-deficient heterozygote (KO), HSF1 transgenic (TG) mice and their wild-type (WT) littermates, respectively. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs) were treated by hypoxia to mimic MI in vitro. The HSF1 phosphorylation was significantly reduced in the infarct border zone of mouse left ventricles (LVs) 1 week after MI and in the hypoxia-treated NRCMs. HSF1 KO mice showed more significant maladaptive cardiac hypertrophy and deteriorated cardiac dysfunction 1 week after MI compared to WT MI mice. Deficiency of HSF1 by siRNA transfection notably increased the hypoxia-induced myocardial hypertrophy in NRCMs. Mechanistically, Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and its effector, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were found to be significantly increased in the LV infarct border zone of WT mice after MI as well as the NRCMs treated by hypoxia. These alterations were more significant in HSF1 KO mice and NRCMs transfected with HSF1 SiRNA. Inversely, HSF1 TG mice showed significantly ameliorated cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure 1 week after LAD ligation compared to their WT littermates. Our data collectively demonstrated that HSF1 is critically involved in the pathological cardiac hypertrophy after MI via modulating JAK2/STAT3 signalling and may constitute a potential therapeutic target for MI patients.
The purpose of our investigation is to explore the putative molecular mechanisms underpinning LINC00858 involvement in colon cancer. The expression of LINC00858 in TCGA data was identified using the GEPIA website. Colon cancer cancerous tissues were clinically collected. The expression of LINC00858, RAD21, and PCNP in colon tissues or cells was determined using RT-qPCR. The interactions among LINC00858, RAD21, and PCNP promoter region were determined by means of RNA pull down, RIP, and ChIP assays. Cell proliferative, apoptotic, invasive, and migrated capabilities were evaluated. Western blot was conducted to determine RAD21, PCNP, phosphorylated (p)-STAT3, STAT3, p-STAT5 and STAT5 and apoptosis related proteins. A nude mouse model of colon cancer was constructed and tumorigenesis of colon cancer cells was observed. LINC00858 was upregulated in cancerous tissues and cells. LINC00858 recruited the transcription factor RAD21. Overexpression of LINC00858 promoted the binding of RAD21 and PCNP promoter region, which increased the expression of PCNP. Silencing of RAD21 or PCNP reversed the promoting effect of LINC00858 on the disease initiation and development. PCNP silencing inhibited proliferative ability and promoted apoptotic ability of cancerous cells via STAT3/5 inhibition, which was reversed by colivelin-activated STAT3. In vivo experiments further verified that LINC00858 enhanced the tumorigenicity of colon cancer cells in vivo by regulating the RAD21/PCNP/STAT3/5 axis. It indicated the promoting role of LINC00858 in colon cancer progression though activating PCNP-mediated STAT3/5 pathway by recruiting RAD21.
Plumbagin (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,4 naphthoquinone) is a naturally occurring low molecular weight lipophilic phytochemical derived from roots of plants of the Plumbago genus. Plumbagin has been reported to have several clinically relevant biological activities in non-neural cells, including anti-atherosclerotic, anticoagulant, anticarcinogenic, antitumor, and bactericidal effects. In a recent screen of a panel of botanical pesticides, we identified plumbagin as having neuroprotective activity. In this study, we determined if plumbagin could modify the developmental fate of rat E14.5 embryonic neural progenitor cells (NPC). Plumbagin exhibited no cytotoxicity when applied to cultured NPC at concentrations below 1 μM. At a concentration of 0.1 μM, plumbagin significantly enhanced the proliferation of NPC as indicated by a 17% increase in the percentage of cells incorporating bromo-deoxyuridine. Plumbagin at a concentration of 0.1 pM (but not 0.1 μM), stimulated the production of astrocytes as indicated by increased GFAP expression. Plumbagin selectively induced the proliferation and differentiation of glial progenitor cells without affecting the proliferation or differentiation of neuron-restricted progenitors. Plumbagin (0.1 pM) rapidly activated the transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) in NPC, and a Stat3 inhibitor peptide prevented both plumbagin-induced astrocyte formation and proliferation. These findings demonstrate the ability of a low molecular weight naturally occurring phytochemical to control the fate of glial progenitor cells by a mechanism involving the Stat3 signaling pathway.
MicroRNAs are powerful regulators of gene expression in physiological and pathological conditions. We previously showed that the dysregulation of miR-384 resulted in a T helper cell 17 (Th17) imbalance and contributed to the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, an animal model of multiple sclerosis. In this study, we evaluated the molecular mechanisms underlying the abnormal increase in miR-384. We did not detect typical CpG islands in the Mir384 promoter. Based on a bioinformatics analysis of the promoter, we identified three conserved transcription factor binding regions (RI, RII, and RIII), two of which (RII and RIII) were cis-regulatory elements. Furthermore, we showed that signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) bound to specific sites in RII and RIII based on chromatin immunoprecipitation, electrophoretic mobility shift assays, and site-specific mutagenesis. During Th17 polarization in vitro, STAT3 activation up-regulated miR-384, while a STAT3 phosphorylation inhibitor decreased miR-384 levels and reduced the percentage of IL-17+ cells, IL-17 secretion, and expression of the Th17 lineage marker Rorγt. Moreover, the simultaneous inhibition of STAT3 and miR-384 could further block Th17 polarization. These results indicate that STAT3, rather than DNA methylation, contributes to the regulation of miR-384 during Th17 polarization.
Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells are required for the establishment of T-dependent B cell memory and high affinity antibody-secreting cells. We have revealed herein opposing roles for signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and type I interferon (IFN) signaling in the differentiation of Tfh cells following viral infection. STAT3-deficient CD4(+) T cells had a profound defect in Tfh cell differentiation, accompanied by decreased germinal center (GC) B cells and antigen-specific antibody production during acute infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. STAT3-deficient Tfh cells had strikingly increased expression of a number of IFN-inducible genes, in addition to enhanced T-bet synthesis, thus adopting a T helper 1 (Th1) cell-like effector phenotype. Conversely, IFN-αβ receptor blockade restored Tfh and GC B cell phenotypes in mice containing STAT3-deficient CD4(+) T cells. These data suggest mutually repressive roles for STAT3 and type I IFN signaling pathways in the differentiation of Tfh cells following viral infection.
Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) gain-of-function mutations have been widely reported in patients with tumors and haematological malignancies. However, the molecular mechanisms of these pathogenic mutations remain largely uninvestigated. In this study, we have extensively characterized two STAT3 missense mutations, namely a valine-to-alanine exchange in the amino-terminal region (V77A) and a phenylalanine-to-alanine substitution (F174A) in the coiled-coil domain. The two mutants displayed elevated levels of tyrosine phosphorylation, premature nuclear accumulation, and differential transcriptional responses following stimulation of cells with interleukin-6 and interferon-ɣ. In line with their hyper-phosphorylated status, a greater fraction of V77A and F174A proteins was bound to DNA on high-affinity binding sites termed sis-inducible elements (SIE) as compared to the wild-type (WT) protein. Unexpectedly, these STAT3 variants displayed similar kinetics using in vitro kinase and dephosphorylation assays performed with recombinant Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and Tc45 phosphatase, respectively. This indicates that the two mutations neither affected the susceptibility of STAT3 to the enzymatic activity of the inactivating tyrosine phosphatase nor to the activating kinase. However, experiments triggering intracellular dephosphorylation by the addition of the tyrosine-kinase inhibitor staurosporine to cytokine-pretreated cells showed that the two mutants partially resisted dephosphorylation. From these data, we propose that the F174A missense mutation hinders the exchange from a parallel to an anti-parallel dimer conformation, thereby increasing the ratio of tyrosine-phosphorylated molecules bound to DNA and enhancing gene-dependent transcription. Our data point to the physiological importance of the anti-parallel dimer conformation in the inactivation of the cytokine-induced STAT3 signalling pathway.
