Stat3 Activation Is Responsible for IL-6-Dependent T Cell Proliferation Through Preventing Apoptosis: Generation and Characterization of T Cell-Specific Stat3-Deficient Mice
Open accessAbstract
Stat3, a member of STAT, is activated by a variety of cytokines such as IL-6 family of cytokines, granulocyte CSF, epidermal growth factor, and leptin. A recent study with mice genetically deficient in the Stat3 gene has revealed its important role in the early embryogenesis. To assess the function of Stat3 in adult tissues, we disrupted the Stat3 gene specifically in T cells by conditional gene targeting using Cre-loxP system. In Stat3-deficient T cells, IL-6-induced proliferation was severely impaired. IL-6 did not enhance cell cycle progression, but prevented apoptosis of normal T cells. In contrast, IL-6 did not prevent apoptosis of Stat3-deficient T cells. Antiapoptotic protein, Bcl-2, was normally up-regulated in response to IL-6 even in Stat3-deficient T cells. These results demonstrate that Stat3 activation is involved in IL-6-dependent T cell proliferation through prevention of apoptosis independently of Bcl-2.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
