Application
STA-21 has been used as a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor to study its effects on glioblastoma and primary glioblastoma cells. It has also been used as a STAT3 dimerization inhibitor to study its effects on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) production in human lung cancer cell line.
Biochem/physiol Actions
STA-21 is a STAT3 inhibitor that reduces the constitutively high STAT3 transcriptional activity in Caov-3 and MDA-MB-435s cultures (by 9.125- and 5.765-fold, respectively, post 48-hr 20 μM treatment) by disrupting STAT3 homodimerization, an essential process for STAT3 nuclear localization and DNA-binding activity. STA-21 selectively inhibits the growth and survival of breast carcinoma cells with constitutive Stat3 signaling (26%, 25%, 56% apoptotic cells, respectively, in MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-435s, and MDA-MB-468 cultures, respectively, post 48-hr 20 μM treatment) but not those without (<10% apoptosis in MCF7, MDA-MB-453, HSF cultures post 48-hr 20 μM treatmen). STA-21 is reported to alleviate autoimmune inflammation in a murine model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA; 0.5 mg/kg; 3X i.p./week) and reduce airway inflammation in allergic mice with psoriatic inflammation (20 μg/mouse/day topically) in vivo.

We set out to investigate the influence of STA-21, a dynamic STAT-3 inhibitor, on the expansion and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to determine its potential mechanisms of action in a mouse model of collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA). To

NKG2D is an activating receptor expressed on NK cells that binds to a variety of ligands, including MICA and MICB. These cell surface glycoproteins are overexpressed under cellular transformation, thus playing an important role in cell-mediated immune response to tumors.

Stat3 has been classified as a proto-oncogene and constitutive Stat3 signaling appears to be involved in oncogenesis of human cancers. However, whether constitutive Stat3 signaling plays a role in the survival and growth of osteosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, and soft-tissue sarcomas is

Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) signaling pathway plays an important role in several human cancers. Activation of Stat3 is dependent on the phosphorylation at the tyrosine residue 705 by upstream kinases and subsequent nuclear
