Multifunction protein staphylococcal nuclease domain containing 1 (SND1) promotes tumor angiogenesis in human hepatocellular carcinoma through novel pathway that involves nuclear factor ?B and miR-221.

ABSTRACT: Staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing 1 (SND1) is a multifunctional protein that is overexpressed in multiple cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Stable overexpression of SND1 in Hep3B cells expressing a low level of SND1 augments, whereas stable knockdown of SND1 in QGY-7703 cells expressing a high level of SND1 inhibits establishment of xenografts in nude mice, indicating that SND1 promotes an aggressive tumorigenic phenotype. In this study we analyzed the role of SND1 in regulating tumor angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer. Conditioned medium from Hep3B-SND1 cells stably overexpressing SND1 augmented, whereas that from QGY-SND1si cells stably overexpressing SND1 siRNA significantly inhibited angiogenesis, as analyzed by a chicken chorioallantoic membrane assay and a human umbilical vein endothelial cell differentiation assay. We unraveled a linear pathway in which SND1-induced activation of NF-?B resulted in induction of miR-221 and subsequent induction of angiogenic factors Angiogenin and CXCL16. Inhibition of either of these components resulted in significant inhibition of SND1-induced angiogenesis, thus highlighting the importance of this molecular cascade in regulating SND1 function. Because SND1 regulates NF-?B and miR-221, two important determinants of HCC controlling the aggressive phenotype, SND1 inhibition might be an effective strategy to counteract this fatal malady.

Project description:Metastatic breast cancer is a prime health concern and leading health burden across the globe. Previous efforts have shown that protein-protein interaction between Metadherin and Staphylococcal nuclease domaincontaining 1 (SND1) promotes initiation of breast cancer, progression, therapy resistance and metastasis. Therefore, small drug molecules that can interrupt the Metadherin and SND1 interaction may be ideal to suppress tumor growth, metastasis and increases chemotherapy sensitivity of triple negative breast cancer. Here, in this study, structure based virtual screening was conducted against the reported active site of SND1 enzyme, which revealed three promising lead molecules from Asinex library. These compounds were; BAS_00381028, BAS_00327287, and BAS_01293454 with binding energy score -10.25 kcal/mol, -9.65 kcal/mol and -9.32 kcal/mol, respectively. Compared to control (5-chloro-2-methoxy-N-([1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridin-8-yl)benzene-1-sulfonamide) the lead molecules showed robust hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions with the enzyme and revealed stable docked conformation in molecular dynamics simulation. During the simulation time, the compounds reported stable dynamics with no obvious fluctuation in binding mode and interactions noticed. The mean root mean square deviation (RMSD) of BAS_00381028, BAS_00327287, and BAS_01293454 complexes were 1.87 Å, 1.75 Å, 1.34 Å, respectively. Furthermore, the MM/GBSA analysis was conduction on the simulation trajectories of complexes that unveiled binding energy score of -19.25 kcal/mol, -27.03 kcal/mol, -34.6 kcal/mol and -29.61 kcal/mol for control, BAS_00381028, BAS_00327287, and BAS_01293454, respectively. In MM/PBSA, the binding energy value of for control, BAS_00381028, BAS_00327287, and BAS_01293454 was -20.45 kcal/mol, -27.89 kcal/mol, -36.41 kcal/mol and -32.01 kcal/mol, respectively. Additionally, the compounds were classified as druglike and have favorable pharmacokinetic properties. The compounds were predicted as promising leads and might be used in experimental investigation to study their anti-SND1 activity.

Project description:To search for submolecular foldon units, the spontaneous reversible unfolding and refolding of staphylococcal nuclease under native conditions was studied by a kinetic native-state hydrogen exchange (HX) method. As for other proteins, it appears that staphylococcal nuclease is designed as an assembly of well-integrated foldon units that may define steps in its folding pathway and may regulate some other functional properties. The HX results identify 34 amide hydrogens that exchange with solvent hydrogens under native conditions by way of large transient unfolding reactions. The HX data for each hydrogen measure the equilibrium stability (Delta G(HX)) and the kinetic unfolding and refolding rates (k(op) and k(cl)) of the unfolding reaction that exposes it to exchange. These parameters separate the 34 identified residues into three distinct HX groupings. Two correspond to clearly defined structural units in the native protein, termed the blue and red foldons. The remaining HX grouping contains residues, not well separated by their HX parameters alone, that represent two other distinct structural units in the native protein, termed the green and yellow foldons. Among these four sets, a last unfolding foldon (blue) unfolds with a rate constant of 6 x 10(-6) s(-1) and free energy equal to the protein's global stability (10.0 kcal/mol). It represents part of the beta-barrel, including mutually H-bonding residues in the beta 4 and beta 5 strands, a part of the beta 3 strand that H-bonds to beta 5, and residues at the N-terminus of the alpha2 helix that is capped by beta 5. A second foldon (green), which unfolds and refolds more rapidly and at slightly lower free energy, includes residues that define the rest of the native alpha2 helix and its C-terminal cap. A third foldon (yellow) defines the mutually H-bonded beta1-beta2-beta 3 meander, completing the native beta-barrel, plus an adjacent part of the alpha1 helix. A final foldon (red) includes residues on remaining segments that are distant in sequence but nearly adjacent in the native protein. Although the structure of the partially unfolded forms closely mimics the native organization, four residues indicate the presence of some nonnative misfolding interactions. Because the unfolding parameters of many other residues are not determined, it seems likely that the concerted foldon units are more extensive than is shown by the 34 residues actually observed.
