Although activation of the STAT3 pathway has been associated with tumor
progression in a wide variety of cancer types (including ovarian cancer), the
precise mechanism of invasion and metastasis due to STAT3 are not fully
delineated in ovarian cancer. We found that pSTAT3 Tyr705 is constitutively
activated in patient ascites and ascites-derived ovarian cancer cells (ADOCCs),
and the range of STAT3 expression could be very high to low. In vivo
transplantation of ADOCCs with high pSTAT3 expression into the ovarian bursa of
mice resulted in a large primary tumor and widespread peritoneal metastases. In
contrast, ADOCCs with low STAT3 expression or ADOCCs with STAT3 expression
knockdown, led to reduced tumor growth and an absence of metastases in vivo.
Cytokines derived from the ADOCC culture medium activate the interleukin
(IL)-6/STAT pathway in the STAT3 knockout (KO) cells, compensating for the
absence of inherent STAT3 in the cells. Treatment with HO-3867 (a novel STAT3
inhibitor at 100?p.p.m. in an orthotopic murine model) significantly suppressed
ovarian tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis by targeting STAT3 and its
downstream proteins. HO-3867 was found to have cytotoxic effects in ex vivo
cultures of freshly collected human ovarian cancers, including those resistant to
platinum-based chemotherapy. Our results show that STAT3 is necessary for ovarian
tumor progression/metastasis and highlight the potential for targeting STAT3 by
HO-3867 as a therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer.
