Frequently dysregulated in malignancies, this pathway drives cancer cell growth, survival, <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology\/angiogenesis\">angiogenesis<\/a>, and metastasis by altering the <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/tumor-microenvironment\">tumor microenvironment<\/a> (TME). IL-6 activates <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/janus-kinase\">JAK<\/a> kinases and <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology\/stat3\">STAT3<\/a> through its receptor complex, leading to the transcription of <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology\/oncogene\">oncogenic genes<\/a> and fostering an <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/immunosuppressive-agent\">immunosuppressive<\/a> TME. This environment recruits tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), and <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology\/regulatory-t-cell\">regulatory T cells<\/a> (Tregs), collectively supporting immune evasion and tumor growth. IL-6\/JAK\/STAT3 axis also contributes to metabolic reprogramming, such as enhanced glycolysis and <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/glutathione\">glutathione<\/a> metabolism, helping cancer cells adapt to environmental stresses. Therapeutic targeting of this pathway has gained significant interest. Strategies include <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology\/monoclonal-antibody\">monoclonal antibodies<\/a> against IL-6 or its receptor (e.g., <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/tocilizumab\">Tocilizumab<\/a>, Siltuximab), <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/janus-kinase-inhibitor\">JAK inhibitors<\/a> (e.g., Ruxolitinib), and STAT3-specific inhibitors (<em>e.g<\/em>., Napabucasin), which have exhibited promise in preclinical and initial clinical studies. These inhibitors can suppress tumor growth, reverse immune suppression, and enhance the efficacy of <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science\/immunotherapy\">immunotherapies<\/a> like <a class=\"topic-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/biochemistry-genetics-and-molecular-biology\/immune-checkpoints\">immune checkpoint<\/a> inhibitors. Combination therapies that integrate IL-6 pathway inhibitors with conventional treatments are particularly promising, addressing resistance mechanisms and improving patient outcomes. Advances in biomarker-driven patient selection, RNA-based therapies, and isoform-specific inhibitors pave the way for more precise interventions. This review delves into the diverse roles of IL-6\/JAK\/STAT3 signaling in cancer progression, therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway, and the potential for integrating these approaches into personalized medicine to enhance treatment outcomes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Full Article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1359610125000036?via%3Dihub\">https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1359610125000036?via%3Dihub<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract The IL-6\/JAK\/STAT3 signaling pathway is a key regulator of tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapy resistance in various cancers.
