Abnormal repression of SHP-1, SHP-2 and SOCS-1 transcription sustains the activation of the JAK/STAT3 pathway and the progression of the disease in multiple myeloma.
Sustained activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway is classically described in Multiple Myeloma (MM).One explanation could be the silencing of the JAK/STAT suppressor genes, through the hypermethylation of SHP-1 and SOCS-1, previously demonstrated in MM cell lines or Entertainment Centers in whole bone marrow aspirates.The link between such suppre
