Popis: | Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) plays a critical role in regulating cell growth, survival, and metastasis. STAT3 signaling is constitutively activated in various types of hematologic or solid malignancies. YHO-1701 has been developed as an orally available STAT3 inhibitor. Herein, YHO-1701 in combination with molecular-targeted agents was evaluated. Additive or synergistic effects were observed in a broad spectrum of “combination treatment + cell line” pairs. Of particular interest was the synergistic effect observed when YHO-1701 was combined with imatinib or dasatinib [breakpoint cluster region-abelson (BCR-ABL) inhibitors], osimertinib [epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor], crizotinib, alectinib, or ceritinib [anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitors]. The results further showed a close relationship between these synergistic effects and the cellular levels of the key molecules involved in the target pathways for YHO-1701 and each combination drug. The combination of YHO-1701 with alectinib resulted in a significantly greater antitumor activity without exhibiting body weight loss in an NCI-H2228 [echinoderm microtubule–associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK fusion] xenograft mouse model. Our results strongly suggest that the logical strategy in combination with the novel STAT3 inhibitor YHO-1701 and other mechanistically different targeted agents could be a promising approach in the clinical setting. |
