STAT3 and gastric adenoma: Temporally, TLS formation coincided with the development of gastric adenomas and induction of homeostatic chemokines including Cxcl13, Ccl19 and Ccl21. Reflecting the requirement of gp130‐driven STAT3 signalling for gastric tumourigenesis, submucosal TLS development was also STAT3‐dependent, but independent of the cytokine IL‐17 which has been linked with lymphoid neogenesis in chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.
