STAT3 can be activated by phosphorylation of tyrosine at position 705 (pSTAT3<sup>Tyr705</sup>) or serine at 727 (pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup>). High expression levels of pSTAT3 are implicated in advanced stages of prostate cancer (PCa) and are known to interact with the androgen receptor signaling pathway. However, not much is known about how androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in advanced disease affects pSTAT3 expression. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of ADT on pSTAT3 expression in PCa tissue.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study cohort came from a PCa tissue microarray resource containing prostate specimens from patients before and post-initiation of ADT. Tissue samples from 111 patients were immunostained for pSTAT3<sup>Tyr705</sup> and pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup>. H-score was used to evaluate the intensity and the percentage of pSTAT3 expression in malignant epithelial and stromal compartments. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to assess pSTAT3<sup>Tyr705</sup> and pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup> as biomarkers of oncological outcome in patients undergoing ADT.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Post-ADT PCa samples demonstrated increased nuclear and cytoplasmic levels of pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup> in the stroma compared to pre-ADT samples, whereas pSTAT3<sup>Tyr705</sup> expression was increased significantly in both stromal and malignant epithelial compartments except for stromal cytoplasm. High cytoplasmic pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup> in stromal compartments correlated with reduced overall survival, shorter time to castration-resistant PCa development, and decreased metastasis-free survival. An increase in nuclear and cytoplasmic pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup> expression within the stromal compartment of post-ADT samples corresponded to a shorter time to CRPC development, which was not observed for pSTAT3<sup>Tyr705</sup>. Multivariable survival analysis using Cox's regression identified that high cytoplasmic pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup> expression in the stroma of post-ADT samples and pT3 or pT4-stage were associated with worse overall survival and 5-year metastasis-free survival (MFS).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study presents novel insights into the impact of ADT on the expression levels of pSTAT3<sup>Tyr705</sup> and pSTAT3<sup>Ser727</sup> in PCa.
