Project description:There is an increasing demand for the expansion of functional human hematopoietic stem cells (hHSCs) for various clinical applications. Based on our primary screening of antioxidant small molecule compounds library, a small molecule compound C2968 (chrysin) was identificated to expand cord blood CD34+ cells in vitro. Then we further verified the optimum concentration and explored its effect on hHSCs phenotype and biological function. C2968 could significantly increase the proportion and absolute number of CD34+CD38-CD49f+ and CD34+CD38-CD45RA-CD90+ cells under 2.5 ?M. Furthermore, the total number of colony-forming units and the frequency of LT-HSCs in C2968-treated group were significantly higher than control, indicating the multipotency and long-term activity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were sustained. Additionally, C2968 treatment could maintain transplantable HSCs that preserve balanced multilineage potential and promote rapid engraftment after transplantation in immunodeficient (NOG) mice. Mechanistically, the activity of chrysin might be mediated through multiple mechanisms namely delaying HSC differentiation, inhibiting ROS-activated apoptosis, and modulating of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors. Overall, chrysin showed good ex vivo expansion effect on hHSCs, which could maintain the self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential of hHSCs. Through further research on its antioxidant mechanism, it may become a promising tool for further fundamental research and clinical umbilical cord blood transplantation of hHSCs.

Project description:Emerging antibiotic resistance among bacterial pathogens has necessitated the development of alternative approaches to combat drug-resistance-associated infection. The abolition of Staphylococcus aureus virulence by targeting multiple-virulence gene products represents a promising strategy for exploration. A multiplex promoter reporter platform using gfp-luxABCDE dual-reporter plasmids with selected promoters from S. aureus-virulence-associated genes was used to identify compounds that modulate the expression of virulence factors. One small-molecule compound, M21, was identified from a chemical library to reverse virulent S. aureus into its nonvirulent state. M21 is a noncompetitive inhibitor of ClpP and alters ?-toxin expression in a ClpP-dependent manner. A mouse model of infection indicated that M21 could attenuate S. aureus virulence. This nonantibiotic compound has been shown to suppress the expression of multiple unrelated virulence factors in S. aureus, suggesting that targeting a master regulator of virulence is an effective way to control virulence. Our results illustrate the power of chemical genetics in the modulation of virulence gene expression in pathogenic bacteria.

Project description:CD147, a type I transmembrane glycoprotein, is highly expressed in various cancer types and plays important roles in tumor progression, especially by promoting the motility and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. These crucial roles make CD147 an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in HCC, but no small-molecule inhibitors of CD147 have been developed to date. To identify a candidate inhibitor, we used a pharmacophore model derived from the structure of CD147 to virtually screen over 300,000 compounds. The 100 highest-ranked compounds were subjected to biological assays, and the most potent one, dubbed AC-73 (ID number: AN-465/42834501), was studied further. We confirmed that AC-73 targeted CD147 and further demonstrated it can specifically disrupt CD147 dimerization. Moreover, molecular docking and mutagenesis experiments showed that the possible binding sites of AC-73 on CD147 included Glu64 and Glu73 in the N-terminal IgC2 domain, which two residues are located in the dimer interface of CD147. Functional assays revealed that AC-73 inhibited the motility and invasion of typical HCC cells, but not HCC cells that lacked the CD147 gene, demonstrating on-target action. Further, AC-73 reduced HCC metastasis by suppressing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 via down-regulation of the CD147/ERK1/2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. Finally, AC-73 attenuated progression in an orthotopic nude mouse model of liver metastasis, suggesting that AC-73 or its derivatives have potential for use in HCC intervention. We conclude that the novel small-molecule inhibitor AC-73 inhibits HCC mobility and invasion, probably by disrupting CD147 dimerization and thereby mainly suppressing the CD147/ERK1/2/STAT3/MMP-2 pathways, which are crucial for cancer progression.

Project description:Estrogen-dependent cancers (breast, endometrial, and ovarian) are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in women worldwide. Aromatase is the main enzyme that catalyzes the biosynthesis of estrogen, which drives proliferation, and antiestrogens can inhibit the growth of these estrogen-dependent cancers. Hu-17, an aromatase inhibitor, is a novel small-molecule compound that suppresses viability of and promotes apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. Therefore, this study aimed to predict targets of Hu-17 and assess its intracellular signaling in ovarian cancer cells. Using the Similarity Ensemble Approach software to predict the potential mechanism of Hu-17 and combining phospho-proteome arrays with western blot analysis, we observed that Hu-17 could inhibit the ERK pathway, resulting in reduced estrogen synthesis in KGN cells, a cell line derived from a patient with invasive ovarian granulosa cell carcinoma. Hu-17 reduced the expression of CYP19A1 mRNA, responsible for producing aromatase, by suppressing the phosphorylation of cAMP response element binding-1. Hu-17 also accelerated aromatase protein degradation but had no effect on aromatase activity. Therefore, Hu-17 could serve as a potential treatment for estrogen-dependent cancers albeit further investigation is warranted.
