Abstract
This research is developed to simulate ovarian cancer progression with signal transducers and activators of the transcription 3 (STAT 3) pathway. The main focus is on studying how the STAT 3 pathway affects the cancer cells' biomechanical phenotype under the stimulation of the interleukin-6 (IL-6) cytokine and various well-known microscopic factors. The simulated results agreed with recent experimental evidence that ovarian cancer cells with a stimulated STAT 3 pathway have high survival rates and drug resistance. And we discussed how the IL6 and these well-known microscopic factors impacted the cancer progression.
期刊介绍:
Mining bioinformatics data is an emerging area at the intersection between bioinformatics and data mining. The objective of IJDMB is to facilitate collaboration between data mining researchers and bioinformaticians by presenting cutting edge research topics and methodologies in the area of data mining for bioinformatics. This perspective acknowledges the inter-disciplinary nature of research in data mining and bioinformatics and provides a unified forum for researchers/practitioners/students/policy makers to share the latest research and developments in this fast growing multi-disciplinary research area.
