Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins play a crucial role in mediating signals from a diverse spectrum of cytokine receptors. STAT is thought to be activated by JAK family kinases (JFK) in many cytokine receptor signal pathways; however, recent studies have demonstrated an alternative pathway to activate STAT by Src family kinases (SFK) in growth factor receptor signal. We also observed STAT5 phosphorylation by Lyn, a member of SFK, in our two recent studies. We introduce these studies and review the literature of STAT activation by SFK and aberrant activation of STAT by oncogenic signals.
