Though palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor has been approved for treating breast cancer, two major clinical challenges remain: (i) Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) appears to be more resistant to palbociclib, and (ii) Palbociclib-induced senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has a pro-tumorigenic function. Here we report that combining palbociclib with the STAT3 inhibitor nifuroxazide uncouples SASP production from senescence-associated cell cycle exit. Moreover, we identified nifuroxazide as a CDK2 inhibitor that synergistically promotes palbociclib-induced growth arrest and senescence in TNBC cells. In vitro, the combination of nifuroxazide with palbociclib further inhibited the TNBC cell proliferation and enhanced palbociclib-induced cell cycle arrest and senescence. The modulation of palbociclib-induced SASP by nifuroxazide was associated with the reduction of phosphorylated-STAT3. Nifuroxazide also blocks SASP-dependent cancer cell migration. Furthermore, thermal shift assay and molecular docking of nifuroxazide with STAT3 and CDK2 revealed that it binds to their active sites and acts as a potent dual inhibitor. In vivo, the combination of nifuroxazide with palbociclib suppressed 4T1 tumor growth and lung metastasis. Our data suggest that nifuroxazide enhances the anticancer effects of palbociclib in TNBC by uncoupling SASP production from senescence-associated cell cycle exit and inhibiting CDK2 to promote tumor senescence.
