This research detected the expression of STAT3 in gastric cancer tissues and adjacent tissues by Western blot and immunohistochemical experiments and conducted corresponding basic experiments to explore the role of STAT3 in inhibiting the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cells and promoting their apoptosis, including the construction of cisplatin-resistant gastric cancer cell line, the knock-out STAT3 in drug-resistant gastric cancer cells by CRISPR-Cas9, and the comparison of the proliferation and apoptosis of drug-resistant cells and drug-resistant cells STAT3(-). This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and gastric cancer.
