Various preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated that STAT3 plays a central  role in maintaining intestinal mucosal barrier function by promoting epithelial cell survival, proliferation, and wound healing.  STAT3 promotes the survival and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), preventing excessive cell death that would compromise the barrier. However, persistent and excessive activation of the STAT3 pathway is linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colitis-associated cancer, indicating that it must be tightly regulated for its beneficial effects.
