Non-cell-autonomous activation of IL-6/STAT3 signaling mediates FGF19-driven hepatocarcinogenesis

Fibroblast Growth Factor 19 (FGF19) neutralizing antibodies inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth but have safety issues. Here, the authors show that FGF19 promotes HCC by activating STAT3 signalling via IL-6 production and that targeting IL-6 pathway abolishes FGF19-induced HCC without side...
