We herein investigated the role of the STAT signaling cascade in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cisplatin ototoxicity. A significant hearing impairment caused by cisplatin injection was observed in B...

The SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complexes utilize energy from ATP hydrolysis to reposition nucleosomes and regulate the expression of human genes. Here, we studied the roles of human Brahma (hBrm) and Brahma-relate...
Cytokines activate multiple signal transduction pathways to regulate gene expression. STATs and NF-kB are two important families of transcription factors activated by cytokines. Abnormal regulation of STAT and NF-kB a...
STAT3 has been known as a mediator for gene expression induced by many important cytokines. Recent studies have suggested that STAT3 has important functions in regulation of both innate and adaptive immunity. Loss of ...
The activation of Statl by the interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) receptor complex is responsible for the transcription of a significant portion of IFN-γ induced genes. Many of these genes are responsible for the induction ...
