FGFR4 p.G388R signaling (Homo sapiens)
From WikiPathways
Description
A germline variant rs351855-G/A, FGFR c.1162G>A (p.Gly388Arg), activates the proximal STAT3 signaling pathway. This germline receptor variant FGFR p.Gly388Arg, recruits STAT3 to inner cell membranes, resulting in increased levels of STAT3 tyrosine phosphorylation. This heritable variant-specific signaling pathway enhances both tumor-intrinsic proliferation and tumor-extrinsic immune evasion within the tumor microenvironment.
The tumor-intrinsic molecular function is driven by elevated levels of tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT3 in tumor cells, promoting cell division and enhancing proliferation. Meanwhile, the tumor-extrinsic molecular function is influenced by increased levels of tyrosine-phosphorylated STAT3 in regulatory T cells and CD8 T cells. This activates STAT3 signaling pathway predominantly in Tregs and alters the Treg/CD8 T cell ratio in lymphoid organs, thereby limiting immune surveillance within the tumor microenvironment.
