STAT3 as a therapeutic target in head and neck cancer

Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy
Rebecca J LeemanJennifer Rubin Grandis

Abstract

The signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins relay signals from cytokine receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases on the cell surface to the nucleus, where they affect the transcription of genes involved in normal cell functions, including growth, apoptosis and differentiation. STAT3 has been found to be constitutively active in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as well as in other epithelial malignancies. In HNSCC, STAT3 alters the cell cycle, prevents apoptosis, and mediates the proliferation and survival of tumour cells. Several therapeutic approaches are being developed to target STAT3, including molecules that block either dimerisation or DNA binding by STAT3, strategies to decrease STAT3 expression and drugs that inhibit STAT3 function. Strategies that block STAT3 may prove efficacious for cancer treatment.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

CREs: Gene & Cell Therapy

Gene and cell therapy advances have shown promising outcomes for several diseases. The role of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) is crucial in the design of gene therapy vectors. Here is the latest research on CREs in gene and cell therapy.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
