PIM1 expression following docetaxel treatment is dependent on STAT3.
A, immunoblots of RWPE-2 cells treated with 100 nm
docetaxel for the indicated time. B, RWPE-2 cells were transfected
with STAT3 mutant control oligonucleotides or STAT3 decoy oligonucleotides and
incubated for 16 h. Cells were then treated with 100 nm docetaxel
for 6 h, lysed, and analyzed by immunoblotting for PIM1, phospho-STAT3, and
total STAT3.
