The results of these investigations are important for all meningioma therapies that, similar to interferon-\u03b1-2B (IFN\u03b1-2B), depend on activation of this pathway for their effect. The authors were interested in evaluating the importance, if any, of the JAK\/STAT pathway in the biology and therapy for these tumors.<\/jats:p><jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic> Total proteins were extracted from 17 meningioma samples and the levels of JAKs and STATs were determined by using Western blot analysis. Levels of these proteins in meningiomas were compared with those found in normal dura. The JAKs and STATs (with the exception of Jak3 and Tyk2) were present both in the dura and in the meningiomas studied. In tumors JAK and STAT levels were always significantly higher than those found in normal dura. Differences in relative levels were found when meningiomas were subdivided according to the current neuropathological criteria and the highest levels were found in transitional meningiomas. The authors also investigated, using tyrosine-phosphorylated Stat1 and Stat3 antibodies, whether STATs were activated in meningiomas and normal dura in vivo. Their results indicate that both Stat1 and Stat3 are phosphorylated in vivo in meningiomas and in the dura. Furthermore, in vitro experiments in which two independent short-term cultures obtained from freshly dissected meningioma samples were used indicated that Stat1 and Stat3 are phosphorylated in response to treatment with IFN\u03b1-2B. Exposure of meningioma cells to IFN\u03b1-2B leads to nuclear translocation of tyrosine-phosphorylated Stat1 and Stat3, as demonstrated by immunocytochemical analysis.<\/jats:p><jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> The results of this study indicate that the JAK and STAT families of proteins are important effectors in brain tumors and support the idea that the effects of IFN\u03b1 in vivo are direct and not mediated by the immune system. This suggests a role for modulation of STAT transcription factors in inhibiting meningioma cell proliferation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1999.91.3.0440","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]],"date-time":"2009-05-13T17:21:15Z","timestamp":1242235275000},"page":"440-446","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Expression
