The signal transducing protein Stat3 activates gene transcription in cells in response to multiple cytokines. Constitutive activation of Stat3 has been observed in solid tumors including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Stat3 activation in cancer has been associated with autocrine stimulatory loops and is believed to convey a growth advantage to cells. We now demonstrate ligand-independent activation of Stat3 by high cell density in multiple cancer cell lines. Activation of Stat3 is associated with antiproliferative rather than proliferative conditions. Interference with cdk2 activity upregulates Stat3 phosphorylation and Stat3-directed DNA-binding activity. Our data supports a model in which Stat3 activity is partially suppressed by cdk2 in growing cells and derepressed upon cell confluence.
