Abstract Objective AS is a rheumatic disease characterized by chronic inflammation and bony ankylosis. This study was to evaluate whether a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 phosphorylation inhibitor (stat3-p Inh) could treat both chronic inflammation and bone formation in AS. Methods Primary AS osteoprogenitor cells and spinal entheseal cells were examined for osteogenic differentiation. SF mononuclear cells (SFMCs) and lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMCs) were obtained from AS patients. Inflammatory cytokine-producing cells were analysed using flow cytometry and ELISA. Female SKG mice were treated with stat3-p Inh, IL-17A blocker or vehicle. Inflammation and new bone formation were evaluated using immunohistochemistry, PET and micro-CT. Results In the SKG mouse model, stat3-p Inh significantly suppressed arthritis, enthesitis, spondylitis and ileitis. In experiments culturing SFMCs and LPMCs, the frequencies of IFN-γ-, IL-17A- and TNF-α-producing cells were significantly decreased after stat3-p Inh treatment. When comparing current treatments for AS, stat3-p Inh showed a comparable suppression effect on osteogenesis to Janus kinase inhibitor or IL-17A blocker in AS-osteoprogenitor cells. Stat3-p Inh suppressed differentiation and mineralization of AS-osteoprogenitor cells and entheseal cells toward osteoblasts. Micro-CT analysis of hind paws revealed less new bone formation in stat3-p Inh-treated mice than vehicle-treated mice (P = 0.005). Hind paw and spinal new bone formation were similar between stat3-p Inh- and anti-IL-17A-treated SKG mice (P = 0.874 and P = 0.117, respectively). Conclusion Stat-3p inhibition is a promising treatment for both inflammation and new bone formation in AS.
