Activity summary

Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) also called p-stat3 or phospho-STAT3 is a critical transcription factor involved in various cellular processes. The molecular weight of STAT3 is approximately 92 kDa. This protein is expressed broadly across many tissues and cell types. Mechanically upon cytokine or growth factor stimulation STAT3 undergoes phosphorylation resulting in dimerization. This phosphorylated form often referred to as phospho-Stat3 or p-STAT3 translocates to the nucleus where it binds specific DNA sequences to modulate gene transcription.

Biological function summary

STAT3 is an important player in regulating cell growth and apoptosis. It functions not only as a transcription factor but also as part of a larger protein complex that operates within the cell nucleus to influence gene expression. This multifaceted role enables STAT3 to control the expression of genes related to cell proliferation survival and differentiation impacting various biological processes. These functions highlight its importance in tissue homeostasis and response to extracellular signals.

Pathways

STAT3 is actively involved in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway a principal route for many cytokines and growth factors and the MAPK pathway. STAT3 interacts with proteins such as JAK kinases which phosphorylate Stat3 and initiate the STAT3 signaling cascade. Additionally it closely associates with the protein Raf1 in the MAPK pathway linking external signals to transcriptional responses. These pathways play a significant role in immune response inflammation and growth signaling.

Associated diseases and disorders

Researchers have implicated STAT3 in cancer and autoimmune diseases. Persistent activation of STAT3 is often observed in various cancers including breast and lung cancer promoting oncogenesis through altered gene expression. Additionally abnormal STAT3 signaling is associated with autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. The interplay between STAT3 and proteins like IL-6 in these diseases highlights its potential as a therapeutic target for intervention.

    Functional Studies - Stattic, STAT3 inhibitor (ab120952)

    Anti-STAT3 (phospho Y705) antibody [EP2147Y] ab76315 staining STAT3 (phospho Y705) in MDA-MB-231 cells treated with stattic (ab120952), by ICC/IF. Decrease in STAT3 (phospho Y705) expression correlates with increased concentration of stattic as described in literature.
    The cells were incubated at 37°C for 2h in media containing different concentrations of ab120952 (stattic) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with Anti-STAT3 (phospho Y705) antibody [EP2147Y] ab76315 (5 µg/ml) was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A DyLight 488 goat anti-rabbit polyclonal antibody (Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96899) at 1/250 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and are shown in blue.
