Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) proteins have a fundamental role cell signaling, and are activated by a large number of cytokines and growth factors. One member of the STAT family, STAT3, has a critical role in oncogenesis. The present invention relates generally to disruption of the pathway of STAT3 signaling in the treatment of human cancer. STAT3 activation is shown to be present in diverse tumor cell lines and tumors, to promote oncogenesis, to inhibit apoptosis, and to reduce sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. Inhibition of STAT3 signaling induces apoptosis specifically in tumor cell lines, and increases sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. The invention relates more particularly to methods, compositions, means of administering such compositions, and means for identifying such compositions for the inhibition of STAT3 intracellular signaling in the treatment of human cancers.

Les protéines STAT (Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription), qui jouent un rôle fondamental dans la signalisation cellulaire, sont activées par un grand nombre de cytokines et de facteurs de croissance. L'une des protéines de la famille des STAT, la STAT3, joue un rôle critique dans l'oncogenèse. La présente invention concerne d'une façon générale la rupture du canal de signalisation par la STAT3 dans les traitements anticancéreux chez l'homme. L'activation par la STAT3, qui est vérifiée dans diverses tumeurs et lignées cellulaires tumorales, s'avère favoriser l'oncogenèse, inhiber l'apoptose, et réduire la sensibilité aux agents chimiothérapeutiques. L'inhibition de la signalisation par la STAT3 induit l'apoptose de façon spécifique dans les lignées cellulaires tumorales et augmente la sensibilité aux agents chimiothérapeutiques. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement des procédés, des compositions, des moyens permettant d'administrer de telles compositions, et des moyens permettant d'identifier de telles compositions favorisant l'inhibition de la signalisation intracellulaire par la STAT3 dans les traitements anticancéreux chez l'homme.
