Structural Insights into Novel 15-Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase Inhibitors.

ABSTRACT: We discovered SW033291 in a high throughput chemical screen aimed at identifying 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) modulators. The compound exhibited inhibitory activity in in vitro biochemical and cell-based assays of 15-PGDH activity. We subsequently demonstrated that this compound, and several analogs thereof, are effective in in vivo mouse models of bone marrow transplant, colitis, and liver regeneration, where increased levels of PGE2 positively potentiate tissue regeneration. To better understand the binding of SW033291, we carried out docking studies for both the substrate, PGE2, and an inhibitor, SW033291, to 15-PGDH. Our models suggest similarities in the ways that PGE2 and SW033291 interact with key residues in the 15-PGDH-NAD+ complex. We carried out molecular dynamics simulations (MD) of SW033291 bound to this complex, in order to understand the dynamics of the binding interactions for this compound. The butyl side chain (including the sulfoxide) of SW033291 participates in crucial binding interactions that are similar to those observed for the C15-OH and the C16-C20 alkyl chain of PGE2. In addition, interactions with residues Ser138, Tyr151, and Gln148 play key roles in orienting and stabilizing SW033291 in the binding site and lead to enantioselectivity for the R-enantiomer. Finally, we compare the binding mode of (R)-S(O)-SW033291 with the binding interactions of published 15-PGDH inhibitors.

Inhibitors of 15-Prostaglandin Dehydrogenase To Potentiate Tissue Repair.

Project description:The enzyme 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catalyzes the first step in the degradation of prostaglandins including PGE2. It is a negative regulator of tissue repair and regeneration in multiple organs. Accordingly, inhibitors of 15-PGDH are anticipated to elevate in vivo levels of PGE2 and to promote healing and tissue regeneration. The small molecule SW033291 (1) inhibits 15-PGDH with Ki = 0.1 nM in vitro, doubles PGE2 levels in vivo, and shows efficacy in mouse models of recovery from bone marrow transplantation, ulcerative colitis, and partial hepatectomy. Here we describe optimized variants of 1 with improved solubility, druglike properties, and in vivo activity.

Inhibitors of type 5 17?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (AKR1C3): overview and structural insights.

Project description:There is considerable interest in the development of an inhibitor of aldo-keto reductase (AKR) 1C3 (type 5 17?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and prostaglandin F synthase) as a potential therapeutic for both hormone-dependent and hormone-independent cancers. AKR1C3 catalyzes the reduction of 4-androstene-3,17-dione to testosterone and estrone to 17?-estradiol in target tissues, which will promote the proliferation of hormone dependent prostate and breast cancers, respectively. AKR1C3 also catalyzes the reduction of prostaglandin (PG) H(2) to PGF(2?) and PGD(2) to 9?,11?-PGF(2), which will limit the formation of anti-proliferative prostaglandins, including 15-deoxy-?(12,14)-PGJ(2), and contribute to proliferative signaling. AKR1C3 is overexpressed in a wide variety of cancers, including breast and prostate cancer. An inhibitor of AKR1C3 should not inhibit the closely related isoforms AKR1C1 and AKR1C2, as they are involved in other key steroid hormone biotransformations in target tissues. Several structural leads have been explored as inhibitors of AKR1C3, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid hormone analogues, flavonoids, cyclopentanes, and benzodiazepines. Inspection of the available crystal structures of AKR1C3 with multiple ligands bound, along with the crystal structures of the other AKR1C isoforms, provides a structural basis for the rational design of isoform specific inhibitors of AKR1C3. We find that there are subpockets involved in ligand binding that are considerably different in AKR1C3 relative to the closely related AKR1C1 or AKR1C2 isoforms. These pockets can be used to further improve the binding affinity and selectivity of the currently available AKR1C3 inhibitors. Article from the special issue on Targeted Inhibitors.

Kinetic and structural investigations of novel inhibitors of human epithelial 15-lipoxygenase-2.

Project description:Human epithelial 15-lipoxygenase-2 (h15-LOX-2, ALOX15B) is expressed in many tissues and has been implicated in atherosclerosis, cystic fibrosis and ferroptosis. However, there are few reported potent/selective inhibitors that are active ex vivo. In the current work, we report newly discovered molecules that are more potent and structurally distinct from our previous inhibitors, MLS000545091 and MLS000536924 (Jameson et al, PLoS One, 2014, 9, e104094), in that they contain a central imidazole ring, which is substituted at the 1-position with a phenyl moiety and with a benzylthio moiety at the 2-position. The initial three molecules were mixed-type, non-reductive inhibitors, with IC50 values of 0.34 ± 0.05 μM for MLS000327069, 0.53 ± 0.04 μM for MLS000327186 and 0.87 ± 0.06 μM for MLS000327206 and greater than 50-fold selectivity versus h5-LOX, h12-LOX, h15-LOX-1, COX-1 and COX-2. A small set of focused analogs was synthesized to demonstrate the validity of the hits. In addition, a binding model was developed for the three imidazole inhibitors based on computational docking and a co-structure of h15-LOX-2 with MLS000536924. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) results indicate a similar binding mode between MLS000536924 and MLS000327069, however, the latter restricts protein motion of helix-α2 more, consistent with its greater potency. Given these results, we designed, docked, and synthesized novel inhibitors of the imidazole scaffold and confirmed our binding mode hypothesis. Importantly, four of the five inhibitors mentioned above are active in an h15-LOX-2/HEK293 cell assay and thus they could be important tool compounds in gaining a better understanding of h15-LOX-2's role in human biology. As such, a suite of similar pharmacophores that target h15-LOX-2 both in vitro and ex vivo are presented in the hope of developing them as therapeutic agents.

Novel prostaglandin dehydrogenase in rat skin.

Project description:Present evidence suggests that skin is an important organ of prostaglandin metabolism. To clarify its role, the basic kinetics of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (PGDH) from rat skin were investigated with either NAD+ of NADP+ as co-substrate. Prostaglandin F2 alpha (PGF2 alpha) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were used as substrates and preliminary studies were made of the inhibitory effects of the reduced co-substrates NADH and NADPH. A radiochemical assay was used in which [3H]PGF2 alpha or [14C]PGE2 were incubated with high-speed supernatant of rat skin homogenates. The substrate and products were then extracted by solvent partition, separated by t.l.c. and quantified by liquid-scintillation counting. At linear reaction rates and at an NAD+ concentration of 10 mM the mean apparent Km for PGF2 alpha was 24 microM with a mean apparent Vmax. of 9.8 nmol/s per litre of reaction mixture. For PGE2 the mean apparent Km was 8 microM, with a mean apparent Vmax, of 2.7 nmol/s per litre of reaction mixture. With NADP+ as a co-substrate at a concentration of 5 mM a mean apparent Km of 23 microM was obtained for PGF2 alpha with a mean apparent Vmax. of 5.2 nmol/s per litre. For PGE2 values of 7.5 microM and 3.0 nmol/s per litre were obtained respectively. These results show that skin contains NAD+- and NADP+-dependent PGDH. An important finding was that the NADP+-linked enzyme gave Km values for PGE2 that were considerably lower than those reported for NADP+-linked PGDH from other tissues. Furthermore, preliminary inhibition studies with the NAD+-linked PGDH system indicate that this enzyme is not only inhibited by NADH, but also by NADPH, a property not previously reported for NAD+-linked PGDH derived from other tissues.

MicroRNA-21 regulates prostaglandin E2 signaling pathway by targeting 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase in tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundOral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is one of the most aggressive forms of head and neck/oral cancer (HNOC), and is a complex disease with extensive genetic and epigenetic defects, including microRNA deregulation. Identifying the deregulation of microRNA-mRNA regulatory modules (MRMs) is crucial for understanding the role of microRNA in OTSCC.MethodsA comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify MRMs in HNOC by examining the correlation among differentially expressed microRNA and mRNA profiling datasets and integrating with 12 different sequence-based microRNA target prediction algorithms. Confirmation experiments were performed to further assess the correlation among MRMs using OTSCC patient samples and HNOC cell lines. Functional analyses were performed to validate one of the identified MRMs: miR-21-15-Hydroxyprostaglandin Dehydrogenase (HPGD) regulatory module.ResultsOur bioinformatics analysis revealed 53 MRMs that are deregulated in HNOC. Four high confidence MRMs were further defined by confirmation experiments using OTSCC patient samples and HNOC cell lines, including miR-21-HPGD regulatory module. HPGD is a known anti-tumorigenic effecter, and it regulates the tumorigenic actions of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by converts PGE2 to its biologically inactive metabolite. Ectopic transfection of miR-21 reduced the expression of HPGD in OTSCC cell lines, and the direct targeting of the miR-21 to the HPGD mRNA was confirmed using a luciferase reporter gene assay. The PGE2-mediated upregulation of miR-21 was also confirmed which suggested the existence of a positive feed-forward loop that involves miR-21, HPGD and PGE2 in OTSCC cells that contribute to tumorigenesis.ConclusionsWe identified a number of high-confidence MRMs in OTSCC, including miR-21-HPGD regulatory module, which may play an important role in the miR-21-HPGD-PGE2 feed-forward loop that contributes to tumorigenesis.

Insights into Aldehyde Dehydrogenase Enzymes: A Structural Perspective.

Project description:Aldehyde dehydrogenases engage in many cellular functions, however their dysfunction resulting in accumulation of their substrates can be cytotoxic. ALDHs are responsible for the NAD(P)-dependent oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids, participating in detoxification, biosynthesis, antioxidant and regulatory functions. Severe diseases, including alcohol intolerance, cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases, were linked to dysfunctional ALDH enzymes, relating back to key enzyme structure. An in-depth understanding of the ALDH structure-function relationship and mechanism of action is key to the understanding of associated diseases. Principal structural features 1) cofactor binding domain, 2) active site and 3) oligomerization mechanism proved critical in maintaining ALDH normal activity. Emerging research based on the combination of structural, functional and biophysical studies of bacterial and eukaryotic ALDHs contributed to the appreciation of diversity within the superfamily. Herewith, we discuss these studies and provide our interpretation for a global understanding of ALDH structure and its purpose-including correct function and role in disease. Our analysis provides a synopsis of a common structure-function relationship to bridge the gap between the highly studied human ALDHs and lesser so prokaryotic models.

15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase-derived 15-keto-prostaglandin E2 inhibits cholangiocarcinoma cell growth through interaction with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, SMAD2/3, and TAP63 proteins.

Project description:Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a potent lipid mediator that plays a key role in inflammation and carcinogenesis. NAD(+)-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) catalyzes the oxidation of the 15(S)-hydroxyl group of PGE2, which leads to PGE2 biotransformation. In this study, we showed that the 15-PGDH-derived 15-keto-PGE2 is an endogenous peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) ligand that causes PPAR-γ dissociation from Smad2/3, allowing Smad2/3 association with the TGF-β receptor I and Smad anchor for receptor activation and subsequent Smad2/3 phosphorylation and transcription activation in human cholangiocarcinoma cells. The 15-PGDH/15-keto-PGE2-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation resulted in the formation of the pSmad2/3-TAP63-p53 ternary complex and their binding to the TAP63 promoter, inducing TAP63 autotranscription. The role of TAP63 in 15-PGDH/15-keto-PGE2-induced inhibition of tumor growth was further supported by the observation that knockdown of TAP63 prevented 15-PGDH-induced inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. These findings disclose a novel 15-PGDH-mediated 15-keto-PGE2 signaling cascade that interacts with PPAR-γ, Smad2/3, and TAP63.

Structural Optimization and Structure-Activity Relationship of 4-Thiazolidinone Derivatives as Novel Inhibitors of Human Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase.

Project description:Human dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (hDHODH), one of the attractive targets for the development of immunosuppressive drugs, is also a potential target of anticancer drugs and anti-leukemic drugs. The development of promising hDHODH inhibitors is in high demand. Based on the unique binding mode of our previous reported 4-thiazolidinone derivatives, via molecular docking method, three new series 4-thiazolidinone derivatives were designed and synthesized as hDHODH inhibitors. The preliminary structure-activity relationship was investigated. Compound 9 of biphenyl series and compound 37 of amide series displayed IC50 values of 1.32 μM and 1.45 μM, respectively. This research will provide valuable reference for the research of new structures of hDHODH inhibitors.
