Selected using bioinformatics and molecular docking analyses, PHA-793887 is effective against osteosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: To identify novel prognostic and therapeutic targets for osteosarcoma patients, we compared the gene expression profiles of osteosarcoma and control tissues from the GSE42352 dataset in the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes were subjected to Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, Gene Set Enrichment and protein-protein interaction network analyses. Survival curve analyses indicated that osteosarcoma patients with lower mRNA levels of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and topoisomerase II alpha had better prognoses. Various computer-aided techniques were used to identify potential CDK1 inhibitors for osteosarcoma patients, and PHA-793887 was predicted to be a safe drug with a high binding affinity for CDK1. In vitro, MTT and colony formation assays demonstrated that PHA-793887 reduced the viability and clonogenicity of osteosarcoma cells, while a scratch assay suggested that PHA-793887 impaired the migration of these cells. Flow cytometry experiments revealed that PHA-793887 dose-dependently induced apoptosis in osteosarcoma cells. Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays indicated that CDK1 expression in osteosarcoma cells declined with increasing PHA-793887 concentrations. These results suggest that PHA-793887 could be a promising new treatment for osteosarcoma.

Project description:ObjectFind potential therapeutic targets of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients by bioinformatics. Screen ideal natural ligand that can bind with the potential target and inhibit it by using molecular biology.MethodsBioinformatics and molecular biology were combined to analyze potential therapeutic targets. Differential expression analysis identified the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between TNBC tissues and non-TNBC tissues. The functional enrichment analyses of DEGs shown the important gene ontology (GO) terms and pathways of TNBC. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction screened 20 hub genes, while Kaplan website was used to analyze the relationship between the survival curve and expression of hub genes. Then Discovery Studio 4.5 screened ideal natural inhibitors of the potential therapeutic target by LibDock, ADME, toxicity prediction, CDOCKER and molecular dynamic simulation.Results1,212 and 353 DEGs were respectively found between TNBC tissues and non-TNBC tissues, including 88 up-regulated and 141 down-regulated DEGs in both databases. 20 hub genes were screened, and the higher expression of CDC20 was associated with a poor prognosis. Therefore, we chose CDC20 as the potential therapeutic target. 7,416 natural ligands were conducted to bind firmly with CDC20, and among these ligands, ZINC000004098930 was regarded as the potential ideal ligand, owing to its non-hepatotoxicity, more solubility level and less carcinogenicity than the reference drug, apcin. The ZINC000004098930-CDC20 could exist stably in natural environment.Conclusion20 genes were regarded as hub genes of TNBC and most of them were relevant to the survival curve of breast cancer patients, especially CDC20. ZINC000004098930 was chosen as the ideal natural ligand that can targeted and inhibited CDC20, which may give great contribution to TNBC targeted treatment.

Selected by gene co-expression network and molecular docking analyses, ENMD-2076 is highly effective in glioblastoma-bearing rats.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Glioblastoma is the most common type of malignant brain tumor. Bioinformatics technology and structure biology were effectively and systematically used to identify specific targets in malignant tumors and screen potential drugs. RESULTS:GBM patients have higher AURKA and KDR mRNA expression compared with normal samples. Then, we identified a small molecular compound, ENMD-2076, could effectively inhibit Aurora kinase A and VEGFR-2 (encoded by KDR) activities. ENMD-2076 is predicted without toxic properties and also has absorption and gratifying brain/blood barrier penetration ability. Further results demonstrated that ENMD-2076 could significantly inhibit GBM cell lines proliferation and vitality, it also suppressed GBM cells migration and invasion. ENMD-2076 induced glioblastoma cell cycle arrest in G2-M phase and apoptosis by inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways. Additionally, ENMD-2076 prolonged the median survival time of tumor-bearing rats and restrained growth rate of tumor volume in vivo. CONCLUSIONS:Our findings reveal that ENMD-2076 is a promising drug in dealing with glioblastoma and have a perspective application. METHODS:We show that AURKA and KDR genes are hub driver genes in glioblastoma with bioinformatics technology including WGCNA analysis, PPI network, GO, KEGG analysis and GSEA analysis. After identifying a compound via virtual screening analysis, further experiments were carried out to examine the anti-glioblastoma activities of the compound in vivo and in vitro.

Inhibitors of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases: synthesis, molecular docking, and implications.

Project description:Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases (PhaCs) catalyze the formation of biodegradable PHAs that are considered to be ideal alternatives to non-biodegradable synthetic plastics. However, study of PhaCs has been challenging because the rate of PHA chain elongation is much faster than that of initiation. This difficulty, along with lack of a crystal structure, has become the main hurdle to understanding and engineering PhaCs for economical PHA production. Here we report the synthesis of two carbadethia CoA analogues--sT-CH2-CoA (26 a) and sTet-CH2-CoA (26 b)--as well as sT-aldehyde (saturated trimer aldehyde, 29), as new PhaC inhibitors. Study of these analogues with PhaECAv revealed that 26 a/b and 29 are competitive and mixed inhibitors, respectively. Both the CoA moiety and extension of PHA chain will increase binding affinity; this is consistent with our docking study. Estimation of the Kic values of 26 a and 26 b predicts that a CoA analogue incorporating an octameric hydroxybutanoate (HB) chain might facilitate the formation of a kinetically well-behaved synthase.

Analysis of the molecular mechanism of osteosarcoma using a bioinformatics approach.

Project description:The aim of this study was to explore the underlying molecular mechanism related to the process and progression of osteosarcoma (OS). The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The pathway and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, as well as transcription factor, tumor-associated gene and tumor suppressor gene analyses were performed to investigate the functions of DEGs. Next, the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed and module analysis was further assessed by cluster analysis with the overlapping neighborhood expansion (Cluster ONE) cytoscape plug-in. A total of 359 upregulated and 614 downregulated DEGs were identified to be differentially expressed between OS samples and normal controls. Pathways significantly enriched by DEGs included the focal adhesion and chromosome maintenance pathways. Significant GO terms were cell adhesion, cell cycle and nucleic acid metabolic processes. The upregulated PPI network was constructed with 170 nodes and the downregulated PPI network was constructed with 332 nodes. Breast-ovarian cancer gene 1 (BRCA1), melanocyte-stimulating hormone 2 (MSH2), cyclin D1 (CCND1) and integrin ?5 (ITGA5) were identified to be hub proteins in PPI. In conclusion, the dysregulated genes played key roles in the progression of OS. Cell adhesion is a significant biological process in OS development, and the genes BRCA1, MSH2, CCND1 and ITGA5 may be potential targets in the therapy of OS.

Hypoglycemic Efficacy of Docking Selected Natural Compounds against ?-Glucosidase and ?-Amylase.

Project description:The inhibition of ?-glucosidase and ?-amylase is a clinical strategy for the treatment of type II diabetes, and herbal medicines have been reported to credibly alleviate hyperglycemia. Our previous study has reported some constituents from plant or herbal sources targeted to ?-glucosidase and ?-amylase via molecular docking and enzymatic measurement, but the hypoglycemic potencies in cell system and mice have not been validated yet. This study was aimed to elucidate the hypoglycemic efficacy of docking selected compounds in cell assay and oral glucose and starch tolerance tests of mice. All test compounds showed the inhibition of ?-glucosidase activity in Caco-2 cells. The decrease of blood sugar levels of test compounds in 30 min and 60 min of mice after OGTT and OSTT, respectively and the decreased glucose levels of test compounds were significantly varied in acarbose. Taken altogether, in vitro and in vivo experiments suggest that selected natural compounds (curcumin, antroquinonol, HCD, docosanol, tetracosanol, rutin, and actinodaphnine) via molecular docking were confirmed as potential candidates of ?-glucosidase and ?-amylase inhibitors for treating diabetes.

Project description:PurposeCompound banmao capsule (CBC), a well-known traditional Chinese medical material, is known to inhibit various tumors. However, its material basis and pharmacological mechanisms remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the effective material basis and mechanisms of action of CBC against tumors.MethodsActive compounds of CBC were identified using public database and reports to build a network. The corresponding targets of active compounds were retrieved from online databases, and the antitumor targets were identified by GeneCards database. The antitumor hub targets were generated via protein-protein interaction analysis using String, and key compounds and targets from the integrative network were detected by molecular docking and ADMET. Top targets in hepatocellular carcinoma were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Finally, the multivariate biological network was built to identify the integrating mechanisms of action of CBC against tumor cells.ResultsA total of 128 compounds and 436 targets of CBC were identified successfully. Based on the generated multivariate biological network analysis, 25 key compounds, nine hub targets, and two pathways were further explored. Effective material bases of cantharidin, baicalein, scutellarin, sesamin, and quercetin were verified by integrative network analysis. PTGS2, ESR1, and TP53 were identified as hub targets via multivariate biological network analysis and confirmed using qPCR. Furthermore, VEGF and estrogen signaling pathways seem to play a role in the antitumor activity of CBC. Thus, breast cancer may be a potential clinical indication of CBC.ConclusionThis study successfully identified the material basis of CBC and its synergistic mechanisms of action against tumor cells.

Identification of characteristic gene modules of osteosarcoma using bioinformatics analysis indicates the possible molecular pathogenesis.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible pathogenesis of osteosarcoma using bioinformatics analysis to examine gene‑gene interactions. A total of three datasets associated with osteosarcoma were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the significance analysis of microarrays method, which then were subjected to the Human Protein Reference Database to identify the protein‑protein interaction (PPI) pairs and to construct a PPI network of the DEGs. Subsequent multilevel community analysis was applied to mine the modules in the network, followed by screening of the differential expression module using the GlobalAncova package. The genes in the differential expression modules were verified in the valid datasets. The verified genes underwent functional and pathway enrichment analysis. A total of 616 DEGs were selected to construct the PPI network, which included 5,808 osteosarcoma‑specific interaction pairs and 8,012 normal‑specific pairs. Tumor protein p53 (TP53), mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) and estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) were identified the most important osteosarcoma‑associated genes, with the highest levels of topological properties. Neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 3 (NOTCH3) and caspase 1 (CASP1) were identified as the osteosarcoma‑specific interaction pairs. Among all 23 mined modules, three were identified as differential expression modules, which were verified in the other two datasets. The genes in these modules were predominantly enriched in the FGFR, MAPK and Notch signaling pathways. Therefore, TP53, MAPK1, ESR1, NOTCH3 and CASP1 may be important in the development of osteosarcoma, and provides valuable clues to investigate the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma using the three differential expression modules.
