Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third foremost cause of cancer-related deaths. HCC has a very bad prognosis because it is asymptomatic in the early stages, resulting in a late diagnosis, and it is highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy. Such chemotherapies have been proven disappointing because they provide extremely low survival benefits. This study discloses that the STAT3/HIF-1α is an auspicious therapeutic attack site for conceivable repression of HCC development. A site that can be targeted by simultaneous administration of a STAT3 inhibitor in the context of HSP90 inhibition. 17-DMAG binds to HSP90 and constrains its function, resulting in the degradation of HSP90 client proteins HIF-1α and STAT3. Hypoxia recruits STAT3/HIF-1α complex within the VEGF promoter. Additionally, it was acknowledged that STAT3 is an essential mediator of VEGF transcription by direct binding to its promoter. Furthermore, it induces HIF-1α stability and enhances its transcriptional activity. Herein, we revealed that the combination therapy using 17-DMAG and nifuroxazide, a STAT3 inhibitor, repressed the diethylnitrosamine-induced alterations in the structure of the liver. This effect was mediated via decreasing the levels of the HSP90 client proteins HIF-1α and pSTAT3 resulting in the suppression of the STAT3/HIF-1α complex transcriptional activity. To conclude, 17-DMAG/NFXZD combination therapy-induced disruption in the STAT3/HIF-1α loop led to a potential antiangiogenic activity and showed apoptotic potential by inhibiting autophagy and inducing ROS/apoptosis signaling. Additionally, this combination therapy exhibited promising survival prolongation in mice with HCC. Consequently, the use of 17-DMAG/NFXZD renders an inspirational perspective in managing HCC. However, further investigations are compulsory.
