A review. Sophoridine is a bioactive alkaloid found in many Chinese herbs, such as Sophora alopecuroides l, Euchresta japonica Benth and Sophora moocrorftinan. Sophoridine hydrochloride injection has been approved as an anticancer drug in China. This aims to provide a comprehensive summary on the pharmacol., mol. mechanism, pharmacokinetic and toxicity studies of sophoridine. PubMed, Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were used for a systematic search with the keywords including “”sophoridine””, “”pharmacol.””, “”pharmacokinetics””, and “”toxicity””. Emerging evidence suggests that sophoridine exhibits a broad spectrum of pharmacol. activities including antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, myocardialprotective and hepatoprotective activities. These pharmacol. properties lay foundation for using the plants containing sophoridine for the treatment of numerous diseases, such as cancer, colitis, injury of lungs, ischemia myocardial,etc. The mechanisms involved in the pharmacol. actions of sophoridine are regulation of NF-κB, TLR4/IRF3, JNK/ERK, Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, down-regulating the expression of HMG3B, bcl-2, MMP-2, MMP-9, TNF-α, IL-1β IL-6 and other cytokines or kinases. However, an increasing number of published reports indicated that sophoridine has serious adverse effects. The primary toxic effects are neurotoxicity and acute toxicity, which are of wide concern in worldwide. Moreover, sophoridine is reported to distribute in kidney, liver, uterus, lung and other organs. It undergoes glucuronidation and excreted in urine. Future studies should elucidate the detailed in vivo metabolism studies on sophoridine. The effect of substituent functional groups on sophoridine on metabolism, the enzymes involved in the metabolism and the chem. of metabolites also should be studied. Either structural modification of sophoridine or its combined with other drugs may play a pivotal role to enhance its pharmacol. activities and reduce its toxicity.

Miller, William P.; Mihailescu, Maria L.; Yang, Chen; Barber, Alistair J.; Kimball, Scot R.; Jefferson, Leonard S.; Dennis, Michael D. published the artcile< The translational repressor 4E-BP1 contributes to diabetes-induced visual dysfunction>, COA of Formula: C24H15F3N4O, the main research area is diabetes visual dysfunction 4EBP1.

PURPOSE: The translational repressor 4E-BP1 interacts with the mRNA cap-binding protein eIF4E and thereby promotes cap-independent translation of mRNAs encoding proteins that contribute to diabetic retinopathy. Interaction of 4E-BP1 with eIF4E is enhanced in the retina of diabetic rodents, at least in part, as a result of elevated 4E-BP1 protein expression. In the present study, we examined the role of 4E-BP1 in diabetes-induced visual dysfunction, as well as the mechanism whereby hyperglycemia promotes 4E-BP1 expression. METHODS: Nondiabetic and diabetic wild-type and 4E-BP1/2 knockout mice were evaluated for visual function using a virtual optomotor test (Optomotry). Retinas were harvested from nondiabetic and type 1 diabetic mice and analyzed for protein abundance and posttranslational modifications. Similar analyses were performed on cells in culture exposed to hyperglycemic conditions or an O-GlcNAcase inhibitor (Thiamet G [TMG]). RESULTS: Diabetes-induced visual dysfunction was delayed in mice deficient of 4E-BP1/2 as compared to controls. 4E-BP1 protein expression was enhanced by hyperglycemia in the retina of diabetic rodents and by hyperglycemic conditions in retinal cells in culture. A similar elevation in 4E-BP1 expression was observed with TMG. The rate of 4E-BP1 degradation was significantly prolonged by either hyperglycemic conditions or TMG. A PEST motif in the C-terminus of 4E-BP1 regulated polyubiquitination, turnover, and binding of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex containing CUL3. CONCLUSIONS: The findings support a model whereby elevated 4E-BP1 expression observed in the retina of diabetic rodents is the result of O-GlcNAcylation of 4E-BP1 within its PEST motif.

Banerjee, Dipanjan; Sinha, Archana; Saikia, Sudeshna; Gogoi, Bhaskarjyoti; Rathore, Arvind K.; Das, Anindhya Sundar; Pal, Durba; Buragohain, Alak K.; Dasgupta, Suman published the artcile< Inflammation-induced mTORC2-Akt-mTORC1 signaling promotes macrophage foam cell formation>, Product Details of C24H15F3N4O, the main research area is inflammation mTORC1 2 Akt signal transduction macrophage foam cell; Akt phosphorylation; Inflammation; Macrophage foam cell; TLR4 signaling; mTORC2.

The transformation of macrophages into lipid-loaded foam cells is a critical and early event in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Several recent reports highlighted that induction of TLR4 signaling promotes macrophage foam cell formation; however, the underlying mol. mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. Here, we found that the TLR4 mediated inflammatory signaling communicated with mTORC2-Akt-mTORC1 metabolic cascade in macrophage and thereby promoting lipid uptake and foam cell formation. Mechanistically, LPS treatment markedly upregulates TLR4 mediated inflammatory pathway which by activating mTORC2 induces Akt phosphorylation at serine 473 and that aggravate mTORC1 dependent scavenger receptors expression and consequent lipid accumulation in THP-1 macrophages. Inhibition of mTORC2 either by silencing Rictor expression or inhibiting its association with mTOR notably prevents LPS induced Akt activation, scavenger receptors expression, and macrophage lipid accumulation. Although suppression of mTORC1 expression by genetic knockdown of Raptor did not produce any significant change in Akt S473 phosphorylation, however, incubation with Akt activator in Rictor silenced cells failed to promote scavenger receptors expression and macrophage foam cell formation. Thus, present research explored the signaling pathway involved in inflammation-induced macrophage foam cells formation and therefore, targeting this pathway might be useful for preventing macrophage foam cell formation.

Sophoridine is a quinolizidine natural product and the exploration of its derivatives has been carried out, and the potent anticancer compound IMB-HDC was acquired. Although previous studies have revealed that some sophoridine derivatives could induce DNA breakage, the underlying mechanisms of inhibition of DNA damage repair (ATR inactivation) and the apoptosis independent of p53, have not been elucidated. Our research reveals a novel DNA response mechanism different from general DNA-damaging agents, and that sophoridine derivate inhibits the phosphorylation of Tyr694 and Ser780 of STAT5a to induce the lessened shuttle from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, and leads to the decreased nuclear STAT5a and subsequently inhibits the expression of STAT5a target gene RAD51 that contributes to the checkpoint activation, thus inhibiting ATR activation. Meanwhile, IMB-HDC that induced the diminished expression of STAT5a target gene contributes to proliferation and leads to apoptosis. More importantly, we give the first evidence that promoting the effect of Tyr694 phosphorylation on nuclear location and subsequent STAT5a target gene transcription depends on Ser780 increased or unchanged phosphorylation and was not correlated with Ser726 phosphorylation.

Kowalski, Elizabeth; Geng, Shuo; Rathes, Allison; Lu, Ran; Li, Liwu published the artcile< Toll-interacting protein differentially modulates HIF1α and STAT5-mediated genes in fibroblasts>, Reference of 1223001-51-1, the main research area is inflammation infection Toll interacting protein HIF1alpha STAT5 gene fibroblast; gene expression profile inflammatory cytokine IL6 IL12 TNFalpha FABP4; fibroblast; gene expression; inflammation; innate immunity; signal transduction.

Toll-interacting protein (Tollip) deficiency has been implicated in complex inflammatory and infectious diseases whose mechanisms are poorly understood. Comparing the gene expression profiles of WT and Tollip-deficient murine embryonic fibroblasts, we observed here that Tollip deficiency selectively reduces the expression of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) but potentiates the expression of fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) in these cells. We also observed that expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF1α) is reduced, whereas that of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) is elevated, in Tollip-deficient cells, correlating with the decreased expression of inflammatory cytokines and increased expression of FABP4 in these cells. We further found that the coupling of ubiquitin to ER degradation (CUE) domain of Tollip is required for stimulating HIF1α activity, because Tollip CUE-domain mutant cells exhibited reduced levels of HIF1α and selected cytokines. Tollip is known to mediate autophagy and lysosome fusion, and herein we observed that Tollip’s autophagy function is required for modulating STAT5 and FABP4 expression. Bafilomycin A, an inhibitor of lysosome fusion, enhanced STAT5 and FABP4 expression in WT fibroblasts, whereas torin 2, an activator of autophagy, reduced STAT5 and FABP4 expression in Tollip-deficient fibroblasts. Taken together, our study reveals that Tollip differentially modulates HIF1α and STAT5 expression in fibroblasts, potentially explaining the complex and context-dependent contribution of Tollip to disease development.

Song, Dan; Liu, Yuan; Yao, Yaxin; Liu, Feng; Tao, Wenjing; Zhou, Xiaolong; Li, Runsheng; Zhang, Xiaowei; Li, Xiangchen published the artcile< Melatonin improves bisphenol A-induced cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and autophagy impairment via inhibition of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway in FLK-BLV cells>, Safety of 9-(6-Aminopyridin-3-yl)-1-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)benzo[h][1,6]naphthyridin-2(1H)-one, the main research area is melatonin bisphenol apoptosis oxidative stress autophagy impairment MAPK signaling; apoptosis; autophagy; bisphenol A; melatonin; p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

The aim of this study was to assess the protective effect and potential mechanism of melatonin against bisphenol A (BPA)-induced apoptosis and oxidative damage in FLK-BLV cells. The results showed that BPA reduced cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, caused cell shrinkage and induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in FLK-BLV cells, which were effectively reversed by melatonin. In addition, BPA caused autophagy flux impairment, which was confirmed by the increased of LC3-II and p62 levels, whereas melatonin treatment effectively reduced p62 levels under BPA treatment, and reversed apoptosis-related protein expression patterns caused by BPA. However, inhibition of autophagy by CQ partially abolished the protective effect of melatonin on apoptosis, suggesting that melatonin against BPA-induced oxidative injury and apoptosis by activating autophagy pathway. Moreover, we found that melatonin inhibited BPA-induced the activation of p38 MAPK, which was comparable to SB203580 pretreatment, and companied by the activation of autophagy and decreases of apoptosis when compared to BPA alone, indicating that melatonin protected against BPA-induced apoptosis partially through the p38 MAPK-autophagy pathway. In conclusion, these results suggest that melatonin may prevent BPA-induced FLK-BLV cell damage by inhibiting p38/MAPK signaling pathway and activating autophagy, and it could be a potential therapeutic compound in preventing BPA-induced cell damage.

Balukoff, Nathan C.; Ho, J. J. David; Theodoridis, Phaedra R.; Wang, Miling; Bokros, Michael; Llanio, Lis M.; Krieger, Jonathan R.; Schatz, Jonathan H.; Lee, Stephen published the artcile< A translational program that suppresses metabolism to shield the genome>, Synthetic Route of 1223001-51-1, the main research area is genome metabolism translational program.

Translatome reprogramming is a primary determinant of protein levels during stimuli adaptation. This raises the question: what are the translatome remodelers that reprogram protein output to activate biochem. adaptations. Here, we identify a translational pathway that represses metabolism to safeguard genome integrity. A system-wide MATRIX survey identified the ancient eIF5A as a pH-regulated translation factor that responds to fermentation-induced acidosis. TMT-pulse-SILAC anal. identified several pH-dependent proteins, including the mTORC1 suppressor Tsc2 and the longevity regulator Sirt1. Sirt1 operates as a pH-sensor that deacetylates nuclear eIF5A during anaerobiosis, enabling the cytoplasmic export of eIF5A/Tsc2 mRNA complexes for translational engagement. Tsc2 induction inhibits mTORC1 to suppress cellular metabolism and prevent acidosis-induced DNA damage. Depletion of eIF5A or Tsc2 leads to metabolic re-initiation and proliferation, but at the expense of incurring substantial DNA damage. We suggest that eIF5A operates as a translatome remodeler that suppresses metabolism to shield the genome.

Gurung, Arun Bahadur; Ali, Mohammad Ajmal; Lee, Joongku; Abul Farah, Mohammad; Al-Anazi, Khalid Mashay published the artcile< Unravelling lead antiviral phytochemicals for the inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 Mpro enzyme through in silico approach>, Quality Control of 6882-68-4, the main research area is COVID 19 coronavirus protease inhibition phytochem; Antiviral properties; Binding affinity; COVID-19; Medicinal plants; Molecular docking; Phytochemicals; SARS-CoV-2; SARS-CoV-2 M(pro).

A new SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) belonging to the genus Betacoronavirus has caused a pandemic known as COVID-19. Among coronaviruses, the main protease (Mpro) is an essential drug target which, along with papain-like proteases catalyzes the processing of polyproteins translated from viral RNA and recognizes specific cleavage sites. There are no human proteases with similar cleavage specificity and therefore, inhibitors are highly likely to be nontoxic. Therefore, targeting the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro enzyme with small mols. can block viral replication. The present study is aimed at the identification of promising lead mols. for SARS-CoV-2 Mpro enzyme through virtual screening of antiviral compounds from plants. The binding affinity of selected small drug-like mols. to SARS-CoV-2 Mpro, SARS-CoV Mpro, and MERS-CoV Mpro were studied using mol. docking. Bonducellpin D was identified as the best lead mol. which shows higher binding affinity (-9.28 kcal/mol) as compared to the control (-8.24 kcal/mol). The mol. binding was stabilized through 4 hydrogen bonds with Glu166 and Thr190 as well as hydrophobic interactions via 8 residues. The SARS-CoV-2 Mpro shows identities of 96.08% and 50.65% to that of SARS-CoV Mpro and MERS-CoV Mpro resp. at the sequence level. At the structural level, the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and SARS-CoV Mpro was found to be 0.517 Å and 0.817 Å between SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and MERS-CoV Mpro. Bonducellpin D exhibited broad-spectrum inhibition potential against SARS-CoV Mpro and MERS-CoV Mpro and therefore is a promising drug candidate, which needs further validations through in vitro and in vivo studies.

The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) possesses unique functions in tumorigenesis and has great potential for targeting tumors. The effectiveness of inhibitors targeting UPS in solid tumors remains to be studied. We screened a library of inhibitors targeting the ubiquitination system and found the highly potent, low-concentration inhibitor mol. VLX1570 that specifically killed lung cancer cells. VLX1570 is an inhibitor of deubiquitinating enzyme activity and has also shown potential for preclin. cancer treatment. We found that VLX1570 significantly inhibited lung cancer cells proliferation and colony formation. VLX1570 induced a G2/M cell cycle arrest by downregulating CDK1 and CyclinB1. Moreover, VLX1570 significantly promoted the mitochondrial-associated apoptosis. Mechanistically speaking, VLX1570 activated the PERK/IRE1/ATF6 pathway and induced ER stress in lung cancer cell lines. The inhibition of ER stress by tauroursodeoxycholic acid sodium or 4-phenylbutyric acid enhanced VLX1570-induced apoptosis. In addition, VLX1570 treatment led to the inactivation of Akt signalling and inhibited the proliferation of lung cancer cells by downregulating the Akt pathway. Moreover, combined treatment with VLX1570 and Afatinib or Gefitinib induced synergistic anti-lung cancer activity. Our present study demonstrated a novel therapy using VLX1570, which inhibited the proliferation and increased apoptosis in human lung cancer.
