The IL6 family of cytokines, including IL6 and leukemia-inhibitory factor (LIF), are induced during inflammation and are also expressed in many types of cancer where they play an important role in tumor development. IL6 family cytokines mainly activate the JAK-STAT3 pathway via the coreceptor, gp130, and IL6 is known to activate the Src family kinase (SFK)-Yes-associated protein (YAP) pathway. The current study investigated the role of autocrine LIF in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) that highly expresses LIF. LIF kno
