Research highlights &z.rtrif; Stat3 interacts with progesterone receptor (PR) and modulates PR transcriptional activation in breast cancer cells. &z.rtrif; Stat3 acts as a coactivator of PR on classical PRE target genes (MMTV and Bcl-X). &z.rtrif; Stat3 also acts as a coactivator of PR in PR nonclassical transcriptional mechanism. &z.rtrif; This study provides new insights into the mechanism of action of PR.
