Core Tip Iron metabolism disorders play a pivotal role in colorectal cancer (CRC) development and progression, with this disordered state closely associated with hepcidin and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) dysregulation. As a vital transcription factor, STAT3, upon activation, translocates to the cell nucleus and directly binds to the hepcidin gene promoter region, thereby upregulating hepcidin expression. Concurrently, CRC cells adapt to iron overload environments by modulating the expression of iron metabolism-related proteins. This study aims to investigate the expression profiling and characteristics of hepcidin and STAT3, iron metabolism indicators, in patients with CRC.
