Under pathological conditions, the Janus kinase (JAK)/STAT signaling pathway can regulate the proliferation, differentiation and migration of tumor cells, including colorectal cancer (CRC). CRC is the third major types of cancer among males and the second among females worldwide. In China, CRC is the fifth common cancer among both males and females. Western blotting, flow cytometry, RNA interference, immunoprecipitation, xenografts models, and immunohistochemical staining were carried out to evaluate the possible mechanisms of acton of ruxolitinib. The present data suggested that ruxolitinib can suppress CRC cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis. Firstly, JAK1/2-STAT1 was identified as the target of ruxolitinib. Then, ruxolitinib downregulated myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) mRNA level and decreased its protein level, which enabled Bak to trigger CRC apoptosis. Furthermore, ruxolitinib exerted potent activity against CRC xenograft growth in vivo. High expression of phosphorylated STAT1 (S727) was also confirmed in 44 pairs of human colon carcinoma and adjacent normal tissues. Taken together, the results showed that ruxolitinib decreased JAK1/2-STAT1-Mcl-1 protein level and effectively suppressed CRC cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, ruxolitinib could be a promising anticancer agent for CRC treatment.
