These findings are in agreement with reports by others, which suggest that STAT6 is involved in regulating the proliferation of hematopoietic cells [34,59], fibroblasts [60] and vascular smooth muscle cells [61], and that it is involved in facilitating metastasis of colon cancer cells [28] as well as migration of prostate cancer cells [62]. The gene discussed is STAT6; the disease is prostate cancer.
