| T1 |
0-140 |
Sentence |
denotes |
G-protein-coupled receptor agonist BV8/prokineticin-2 and STAT3 protein form a feed-forward loop in both normal and malignant myeloid cells. |
| T2 |
141-152 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BACKGROUND: |
| T3 |
153-223 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Signaling pathways underlying BV8-mediated oncogenesis remain unknown. |
| T4 |
224-338 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: BV8-STAT3 forms a feed-forward loop in both normal and malignant myeloid cells and promotes tumor growth. |
| T5 |
339-444 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: JAK2/STAT3 signaling plays critical roles in BV8-mediated myeloid cell-dependent oncogenesis. |
| T6 |
445-458 |
Sentence |
denotes |
SIGNIFICANCE: |
| T7 |
459-588 |
Sentence |
denotes |
This study identifies a novel role of BV8-STAT3 signaling in mediating cross-talk between tumor microenvironment and tumor cells. |
| T8 |
589-708 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An important role of BV8 in mobilization of myeloid cells and myeloid cell-dependent angiogenesis has been established. |
| T9 |
709-867 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recently, it has also been shown that granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced BV8 expression is STAT3 dependent in CD11b(+)Gr1(+) myeloid cells. |
| T10 |
868-1061 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, the BV8 downstream signaling pathway(s) intrinsic to myeloid cells crucial for angiogenesis, and potentially also for development of cancers of myeloid origin, remains largely unknown. |
| T11 |
1062-1260 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Here we show that BV8 activates STAT3, which is critical for regulating genes important for both tumor cell proliferation/survival and tumor angiogenesis, in both normal and malignant myeloid cells. |
| T12 |
1261-1403 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Further, BV8-induced STAT3 activation requires Janus-activated kinase 2 (JAK2) activity as shown by both genetic and pharmacologic inhibition. |
| T13 |
1404-1608 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Knocking down BV8 in human myeloid leukemia cells inhibits STAT3 activity and expression of STAT3 downstream angiogenic and pro-proliferation/survival genes, leading to a decrease in tumor cell viability. |
| T14 |
1609-1701 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BV8 shRNA expressing leukemia cells exhibit reduced STAT3 activity and tumor growth in vivo. |
| T15 |
1702-1919 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Taken together, we have delineated a signaling pathway downstream of BV8 that plays critical roles in both the tumor microenvironment and malignant myeloid cells for angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation/survival. |
