The promyelocytic leukemia protein PML acts as a tumor suppressor by forming transcription-regulatory complexes with a variety of repressor proteins. In the present study, we found that endogenous PML suppresses interleukin (IL)-6-induced gene expression as well as phosphorylation and transcriptional activation of STAT3 in hepatoma cells. We also found that PML-mediated suppression of IL-6-induced STAT3 activation by disrupting interactions between STAT3 and HDAC3. These results indicate that PML modulates IL-6-induced STAT3 activation and hepatoma cell growth by interacting with HDAC3.

Modulation of IL-6 receptor/STAT3 downstream signaling in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a relevant cytokine in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, potentially activating Janus kinases (JAK)-1, -2, and tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), and thus, three signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)-1, -3 or - 5 pathways. This pilot study aims to explore differences in phosphorylated (p)STAT3 levels among patients with RA, those not classified as RA (nRA), and healthy donors (HD), providing some clues on the relative contribution of each JAK protein to the downstream of the IL-6-induced STAT3 pathway. Clinical data and blood samples from 80 subjects (41 RA, 14 nRA, and 25 HD) were collected.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric cancer has a high global mortality rate (70%) and involves immune checkpoints like PD-1 and PD-L1, which are important in its progression.
- Solamargine, derived from traditional Chinese medicine, shows potential in suppressing various cancers, but its specific impact on PD-L1 in gastric cancer was unclear.
- The study found that solamargine inhibits gastric cancer cell growth and metastasis by downregulating STAT3 signaling and reducing PD-L1 expression, suggesting it could be a promising treatment strategy for gastric cancer.
DOCK8 deficiency due to a deep intronic variant in two kindreds with hyper-IgE syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- DOCK8 deficiency causes most cases of autosomal recessive hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) due to mutations that disrupt protein expression, but some patients show symptoms without identifiable mutations.
- Researchers used Whole Exome Sequencing to discover a deep intronic DOCK8 variant in two patients that led to a significant alteration in protein structure and function.
- The findings indicate that non-coding mutations play a crucial role in immunodeficiency disorders, suggesting the need for further investigation into these types of mutations in unexplained immune system issues.
Biological evaluation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) targeting by phaeosphaeride A and its analogs.

The inhibitory activities of phaeosphaeride A (PPA), phaeosphaeride B, and four synthetic derivatives against phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and cell proliferation in cervical (HeLa) and breast (MDA-MB-231) cancer cells were evaluated. PPA inhibited IL-6-induced STAT3 phosphorylation and cell proliferation at similar concentrations. The structure-activity relationship studies revealed that the enantiomer of PPA was the most potent of the evaluated phaeosphaerides in both inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation and cell growth.
