Functional expression and impact of testis-specific gene antigen 10 in breast cancer: a combined in vitro and in silico analysis.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Testis-specific gene antigen 10 (TSGA10) is a less-known gene, which is involved in the vague biological paths of different cancers. Here, we investigated the TSGA10 expression using different concentrations of glucose under hypoxia and also its interaction with the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1). Methods: The breast cancer MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells were cultured with different concentrations of glucose (5.5, 11.0 and 25.0 mM) under normoxia/hypoxia for 24, 48, and 72 hours and examined for the HIF-1? expression and cell migration by Western blotting and scratch assays. The qPCR was employed to analyze the expression of TSGA10. Three-dimensional (3D) structure and the energy minimization of the interacting domain of TSGA10 were performed by MODELLER v9.17 and Swiss-PDB viewer v4.1.0/UCSF Chimera v1.11. The UCSF Chimera v1.13.1 and Hex 6.0 were used for the molecular docking simulation. The Cytoscape v3.7.1 and STRING v11.0 were used for protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. The HIF-1a related hypoxia pathways were obtained from BioModels database and reconstructed in CellDesigner v4.4.2. Results: The increased expression of TSGA10 was found to be significantly associated with the reduced metastasis in the MDA-MB-231 cells, while an inverse relationship was seen between the TSGA10 mRNA level and cellular migration but not in the MCF-7 cells. The C-terminal domain of TSGA10 interacted with HIF-1? with high affinity, resulting in PPI network with 10 key nodes (HIF-1?, VEGFA, HSP90AA1, AKT1, ARNT, TP53, TSGA10, VHL, JUN, and EGFR). Conclusions: Collectively, TSGA10 functional expression alters under the hyper-/hypo-glycemia and hypoxia, which indicates its importance as a candidate bio-target for the cancer therapy.

Project description:Rearranged during transfection (RET) is a tyrosine kinase oncogenic receptor, activated in several cancers including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Multiple kinase inhibitors vandetanib and cabozantinib are commonly used in the treatment of RET-positive NSCLC. However, specificity, toxicity, and reduced efficacy limit the usage of multiple kinase inhibitors in targeting RET protein. Thus, in the present investigation, we aimed to figure out novel and potent candidates for the inhibition of RET protein using combined in silico and in vitro strategies. In the present study, screening of 11,808 compounds from the DrugBank repository was accomplished by different hypotheses such as pharmacophore, e-pharmacophore, and receptor cavity-based models in the initial stage. The results from the different hypotheses were then integrated to eliminate the false positive prediction. The inhibitory activities of the screened compounds were tested by the glide docking algorithm. Moreover, RF score, Tanimoto coefficient, prime-MM/GBSA, and density functional theory calculations were utilized to re-score the binding free energy of the docked complexes with high precision. This procedure resulted in three lead molecules, namely DB07194, DB03496, and DB11982, against the RET protein. The screened lead molecules together with reference compounds were then subjected to a long molecular dynamics simulation with a 200 ns time duration to validate the inhibitory activity. Further analysis of compounds using MM-PBSA and mutation studies resulted in the identification of potent compound DB07194. In essence, a cell viability assay with RET-specific lung cancer cell line LC-2/ad was also carried out to confirm the in vitro biological activity of the resultant compound, DB07194. Indeed, the results from our study conclude that DB07194 can be effectively translated for this new therapeutic purpose, in contrast to the properties for which it was originally designed and synthesized.
