Article Abstract

Cancer is one of the major public health challenges worldwide, and the STAT3 signaling pathway is recognized as one of the most important signaling pathways in the progression of this disease. This pathway can increase the survival and proliferation of cancer cells and their resistance to treatment by regulating lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, apoptosis, and inflammatory processes. Therefore, STAT3 inhibition is considered an effective therapeutic approach in the fight against cancer. Two main strategies (direct and indirect) have been considered to inhibit this protein, with direct inhibition being more effective due to its more specific properties. Extensive research is also underway to design and develop effective inhibitors for STAT3, and in this regard, SH2 domain inhibitors have reached clinical trial phases.

Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a major downstream nuclear coactivator of the Hippo pathway and is activated during myocardial hypertrophy. Verteporfin, a YAP inhibitor, may serve as a potential treatment for myocardial hypertrophy. This study was aimed at exploring the role and underlying mechanisms of verteporfin in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardial hypertrophy both in vivo and in vitro.

Astrocytes play a crucial role in ensuring neuronal survival and function. In stroke, astrocytes trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR) to restore endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis. Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF), a newly identified endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced neurotrophic factor, attenuates cerebral ischemic injury by reducing inflammatory responses.

Diabetes and viral hepatitis, particularly hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV), are significant global health burdens with complex interconnections. This review discusses the molecular mechanisms linking viral hepatitis to diabetes, focusing on inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress, and epigenetic modifications. Key findings highlight the role of STAT3 in promoting insulin resistance and β-cell apoptosis, the impact of ER stress and NOX-mediated oxidative stress on metabolic dysfunction, and the influence of epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation and histone acetylation on glucose homeostasis.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and challenging subtype of breast cancer, presenting patients with a more complex treatment journey. This underscores the critical need for ongoing research and the development of effective therapies to enhance patient outcomes. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a crucial transcription factor that regulates various cellular processes, including proliferation, survival, and immune modulation.
