DNA binding resulting in transcription of genes that regu late infammation, cell proliferation, diferentiation, and apoptosis . STAT3, therefore, regulates the infammatory environment by controlling the expression of cytokines, chemokines and other mediators . Numerous biomark ers of infammation at the molecular level such as NF-κB, STAT3, infammatory cytokines and chemokines , infammatory enzymes (cyclooxyge nase-2, 5-lipoxygenase (LOX), 12-LOX) and matrix metal loproteinases (MMPs) together with other factors such as prostate-specifc antigen (PSA), C-reactive protein (CRP), adhesion molecules, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and TWIST have also been implicated in chronic diseases.
