In addition to tumor cell-derived IL-35 promoting angiogenesis, Huang et al. indicated that IL-35 originating from pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells stimulated the GP130/STAT1 signaling pathway, resulting in the formation of p-STAT1:p-STAT4. This evidence concerns the gene STAT1 and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
