OBJECTIVE: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and
women. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has an overall 5-year survival rate of
15%. While aberrant STAT3 activation has previously been observed in NSCLC, the
scope of its contribution is uncertain and agents that target STAT3 for treatment
are not available clinically. METHODS: We determined levels of activated STAT3
(STAT3 phosphorylated on Y705, pSTAT3) and the two major isoforms of STAT3 (? and
?) in protein extracts of 8 NSCLC cell lines, as well as the effects of targeting
STAT3 in vitro and in vivo in NSCLC cells using short hairpin (sh) RNA and two
novel small-molecule STAT3 inhibitors, C188-9 and piperlongumine (PL). RESULTS:
Levels of pSTAT3, STAT3?, and STAT? were increased in 7 of 8 NSCLC cell lines. Of
note, levels of pSTAT3 were tightly correlated with levels of STAT3?, but not
STAT3?. Targeting of STAT3 in A549 cells using shRNA decreased tSTAT3 by 75%;
this was accompanied by a 47-78% reduction in anchorage-dependent and
anchorage-independent growth and a 28-45% reduction in mRNA levels for
anti-apoptotic STAT3 gene targets. C188-9 and PL (@30 ?M) each reduced pSTAT3
levels in all NSCLC cell lines tested by ?50%, reduced anti-apoptotic protein
mRNA levels by 25-60%, and reduced both anchorage-dependent and
anchorage-independent growth of NSCLC cell lines with IC50 values ranging from
3.06 to 52.44 ?M and 0.86 to 11.66 ?M, respectively. Treatment of nude mice
bearing A549 tumor xenografts with C188-9 or PL blocked tumor growth and reduced
levels of pSTAT3 and mRNA encoding anti-apoptotic proteins. CONCLUSION: STAT3 is
essential for growth of NSCLC cell lines and tumors and its targeting using
C188-9 or PL may be a useful strategy for treatment.
