Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) had been involved in
liver fibrogenesis. We aimed to explore the antifibrotic activities of sorafenib
and its derivative SC-1 (devoid of Raf kinase inhibition activity) both in vivo
and in vitro with special focus on the STAT3 pathway in hepatic stellate cells
(HSCs). The clinical role of STAT3 in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) was also
investigated. Experimental fibrosis mouse models were established by
thioacetamide injection and bile duct ligation in Balb/C mice and treated with
sorafenib and SC-1. Rat and human HSCs were used for mechanistic investigations.
Forty CHB patients were enrolled to quantify the hepatic phospho-STAT3 (p-STAT3)
levels and correlated with liver fibrosis. Both sorafenib and SC-1 ameliorated
liver fibrosis in vivo and promoted HSC apoptosis in vitro. p-STAT3 and
downstream signals were down-regulated after sorafenib and SC-1 treatment in HSC.
STAT3 overexpression in HSC enhanced cell proliferation and undermined the
apoptotic effects of sorafenib and SC-1, whereas STAT3-specific inhibition
promoted HSC apoptosis. Sorafenib and SC-1 activated Src-homology protein
tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1) and STAT3 inhibition followed. Of particular
interest, in CHB patients with advanced liver fibrosis, p-STAT3 in HSC was
significantly overexpressed and positively correlated with the severity of liver
fibrosis and plasma IL-6 levels. In conclusion, sorafenib and SC-1 ameliorate
liver fibrosis through STAT3 inhibition in HSC and STAT3 may potentially serve as
a promising fibrotic biomarker and target in liver fibrosis. SHP-1
phosphatase-directed STAT3 inhibition may represent a previously unidentified
strategy for antifibrotic drug discovery.
