| abstractText | PAR3 suppresses tumor growth and metastasis in vivo and cell invasion through matrix in vitro. We propose that PAR3 organizes and limits multiple signaling pathways and that inappropriate activation of these pathways occurs without PAR3. Silencing Pard3 in conjunction with oncogenic activation promotes invasion and metastasis via constitutive STAT3 activity in mouse models, but the mechanism for this is unknown. We now show that loss of PAR3 triggers increased production of interleukin-6, which induces STAT3 signaling in an autocrine manner. Activation of atypical protein kinase C iota/lambda (aPKCiota/lambda) mediates this effect by stimulating NF-kappaB signaling and IL-6 expression. Our results suggest that PAR3 restrains aPKCiota/lambda activity and thus prevents aPKCiota/lambda from activating an oncogenic signaling network. |
