Our data showed that ICAM-1 secreted from MTCAFs could positively promote the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer cells by activating signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and Serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT) signaling and that blocking ICAM-1 in MTCAFs reversed these effects. The gene discussed is STAT3; the disease is colonic neoplasm.
