| Research Abstract |
STAT proteins are transcription factors that mediate cell proliferation and differentiation. Aberrant signals of STAT are strongly involved in cancer. We demonstrated that a novel STAT inhibitor, OPB-31121, strongly inhibited STAT3 and STAT5 phosphorylation, and induced significant growth inhibition in various hematopoietic malignant cells. OPB-31121 was particularly effective against leukemia harboring BCR-ABL, FLT3/ITD, and JAK2 V617F. We showed the significant anti-tumor effect of OPB-31121 against human leukemia cells using patient-derived xenograft model.
