STAT3 and cancer: Several TRIMs, such as TRIM27, TRIM29, and TRIM52, have also been reported to mediate the overactivation of STAT3 and induce the expression of downstream target genes, such as MMP-2 (Matrix metalloproteinases 2), MMP-9, and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), thus promoting cancer cell migration and invasion [180–183].
