Abstract

Esophageal cancer (ESCA) is a common tumor noted in the digestive tract, which is highly malignant due to unclear early symptoms and poor last‑stage treatment effects; its mortality rate is relatively high. MicroRNA (miR) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) are key components of cellular signaling pathways; their interaction forms a complex and intricate information network that controls several types of biological behaviors in the cells. In the tumor cell, these signal transduction pathways are abnormally active, indicating that the STAT3 signaling pathway mediated by miRs is involved in the progression of various cancer types. The present review introduces the biological characteristics of miR and STAT3 and their relationship with ESCA. It summarizes the regulation of ESCA by the miR and STAT3 signaling pathways and analyzes the effects of these pathways on proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis and immune escape of cancer cells, as well as the impact on patient survival and prognosis. The purpose of the present review is to assess the miR/STAT3 signaling pathway in ESCA, improve the understanding of the pathogenesis of ESCA and facilitate the identification of therapeutic targets for ESCA.
