The circRNA/JAK/STAT signaling axis in CRC. The binding of the cytokine to the receptor induces receptor dimers and initiates signal transduction. After JAKs are activated and phosphorylated, STATs proteins are recruited to the phosphorylated tyrosine site. STATs are also then activated and phosphorylated. Normally, STATs reside in the cytoplasm and form phosphorylated dimers when activated by upstream signals. STAT-STAT dimers are transferred from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and regulate the transcription of target genes. Finally, it affects the proliferation, differentiation, invasion, inflammation, and immune function of cancer cells.
