PIAS3 is a member of the protein inhibitor of activated STAT (PIAS) family; however, little is known about the expression and biological functions of PIAS3 in CAC. The aim of our study was to investigate the biological mechanisms of PIAS3 in CAC. %K PIAS3 %K miR-18a %K STAT3 %K NF-¦ĘB %K colitis-associated colorectal cancer %U http://www.thno.org/v08p3022.htm
