TRIP13, a promising target for cancer therapy, has been identified as a key regulator of the mitotic checkpoint. Overexpression of TRIP13 is associated with poor clinical outcomes in various cancers. Inhibition of TRIP13 has the potential to address therapeutic challenges in cancer, particularly in therapy-resistant and Rb-deficient cancers. Despite the potential therapeutic benefits of TRIP13 inhibition, the development of TRIP13 inhibitors has been hindered by the lack of a robust high-throughput screening (HTS) assay.
We developed a luminescence-based biochemical assay for TRIP13 activity to address this challenge using the ADP-Glo detection system. This assay offers high sensitivity, low background signal, and ease of automation, making it ideal for HTS applications. A pilot screen of kinase-focused inhibitors library and a large-scale screen of 4000 additional compounds demonstrated the assay's robust performance with a z'-factor exceeding 0.85 and a signal-to-background (S/B) ratio near 6. From the 50 initial hits, rigorous validation identified anlotinib as the most potent TRIP13 inhibitor with an IC50 of 5 μM. A cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) confirmed the direct binding of anlotinib to TRIP13, validating the potential of our biochemical assay for identifying novel TRIP13 inhibitors. Our study provides a valuable tool for discovering novel TRIP13 inhibitors and advances our understanding of the therapeutic potential of targeting TRIP13 in cancer.
TRIP13是一个很有希望的癌症治疗靶点,已被确定为有丝分裂检查点的关键调节因子。在多种癌症中,TRIP13的过表达与不良临床结果相关。抑制TRIP13具有解决癌症治疗挑战的潜力,特别是在治疗耐药和rb缺乏的癌症中。尽管抑制TRIP13具有潜在的治疗益处,但由于缺乏强大的高通量筛选(HTS)检测,TRIP13抑制剂的开发一直受到阻碍。利用ADP-Glo检测系统,我们开发了一种基于发光的TRIP13活性生化检测方法来解决这一问题。该分析具有高灵敏度,低背景信号,易于自动化,使其成为HTS应用的理想选择。激酶聚焦抑制剂库的中试筛选和4000种其他化合物的大规模筛选表明,该方法具有稳健的性能,z′-因子超过0.85,信号与背景(S/B)比接近6。从50个初始命中,严格的验证确定anlotinib是最有效的TRIP13抑制剂,IC50为5 μM。细胞热移试验(CETSA)证实了anlotinib与TRIP13的直接结合,验证了我们的生化试验识别新型TRIP13抑制剂的潜力。我们的研究为发现新的TRIP13抑制剂提供了有价值的工具,并促进了我们对靶向TRIP13治疗癌症潜力的理解。

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, plays a critical role in maintaining tissue homeostasis by eliminating damaged or abnormal cells. Dysregulation of apoptosis pathways is a hallmark of cancer, allowing malignant cells to evade cell death and proliferate uncontrollably. Targeting apoptosis pathways has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment, aiming to restore the balance between cell survival and death. The MDM2 inhibitor alrizomadlin, the Bcl-2/Bcl-xL inhibitor pelcitoclax, and the IAP family inhibitor dasminapant were evaluated both individually and in combinations with standard of care and investigational anticancer small molecules in a spheroid model of solid tumors. The multi-cell type tumor spheroids were grown from human endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells combined with human malignant cells that were either established or patient-derived cell lines from the NCI Patient-Derived Models Repository. The malignant cell lines were derived from a range of solid tumors including uterine carcinosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, soft tissue sarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), pancreas, ovary, colon, breast, and small cell lung cancer. Interactions were observed from combinations of the apoptosis pathway targeted agents. Additionally, interactions were observed from combinations of the apoptosis pathway targeted agents with other agents, including PARP inhibitors, the XPO1 inhibitor eltanexor, and the PI3K inhibitor copanlisib. Enhanced activity was also observed from combinations of the apoptosis pathway targeted agents with MAPK pathway targeted agents, including the MEK inhibitor cobimetinib as well as adagrasib and MRTX1133, which specifically target the KRAS G12C and G12D variants, respectively.
细胞凋亡,或程序性细胞死亡,通过消除受损或异常细胞,在维持组织稳态中起着关键作用。细胞凋亡途径的失调是癌症的一个标志,允许恶性细胞逃避细胞死亡和不受控制的增殖。靶向细胞凋亡途径已成为一种很有前景的癌症治疗策略,旨在恢复细胞生存与死亡之间的平衡。MDM2抑制剂alrizomadlin、Bcl-2/Bcl-xL抑制剂pelcitoclax和IAP家族抑制剂dasminapant在实体瘤球形模型中单独或与标准护理和实验性抗癌小分子联合进行了评估。多细胞型肿瘤球体是由人类内皮细胞和间充质干细胞与人类恶性细胞结合生长的,这些恶性细胞要么是已建立的,要么是来自NCI患者衍生模型库的患者衍生细胞系。恶性细胞系来源于一系列实体肿瘤,包括子宫癌肉瘤、滑膜肉瘤、横纹肌肉瘤、软组织肉瘤、恶性纤维组织细胞瘤、恶性周围神经鞘瘤(MPNST)、胰腺、卵巢、结肠癌、乳腺癌和小细胞肺癌。观察到凋亡途径靶向药物的联合相互作用。此外,凋亡途径靶向药物与其他药物(包括PARP抑制剂、XPO1抑制剂eltanexor和PI3K抑制剂copanlisib)联合使用时观察到相互作用。凋亡途径靶向药物与MAPK途径靶向药物联合使用也观察到活性增强,包括MEK抑制剂cobimetinib以及分别特异性靶向KRAS G12C和G12D变体的adagrasib和MRTX1133。

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) develops into a worldwide health emergency through genetic and biochemical adaptations which enable microorganisms to resist antimicrobial treatment. β-lactamases (blaNDM, blaKPC) and efflux pumps (MexAB-OprM) working with mobile genetic elements facilitate fast proliferation of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and exttreme drug-resistant (XDR) phenotypes thus creating major concerns for healthcare systems and community health as well as the agricultural sector.

Objectives

The review dissimilarly unifies molecular resistance pathways with public health implications through the study of epidemiological data and monitoring approaches and innovative therapeutic solutions. Previous studies separating their attention between molecular genetics and clinical outcomes have been combined into our approach which delivers an all-encompassing analysis of AMR.

Key insights

The report investigates the resistance mechanisms which feature enzymatic degradation and efflux pump overexpression together with target modification and horizontal gene transfer because these factors represent important contributors to present-day AMR developments. This review investigates AMR effects on hospital and community environments where it affects pathogens including MRSA, carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, and drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This document explores modern AMR management methods that comprise WHO GLASS molecular surveillance systems and three innovative strategies such as CRISPR-modified genome editing and bacteriophage treatments along with antimicrobial peptides and artificial intelligence diagnostic tools.

Conclusion

The resolution of AMR needs complete scientific and global operational methods alongside state-of-the-art therapeutic approaches. Worldwide management of drug-resistant infection burden requires both enhanced infection prevention procedures with next-generation antimicrobial strategies to reduce cases effectively.
微生物耐药(AMR)通过使微生物能够抵抗抗菌素治疗的遗传和生化适应而发展成为世界范围内的突发卫生事件。β-内酰胺酶(blaNDM、blaKPC)和外排泵(MexAB-OprM)与移动遗传元件一起工作,促进了多重耐药(MDR)和极端耐药(XDR)表型的快速增殖,从而给卫生保健系统、社区卫生以及农业部门带来了重大关切。目的通过流行病学数据、监测方法和创新治疗方案的研究,将分子耐药途径与公共卫生意义不同地统一起来。以前的研究将他们的注意力分离在分子遗传学和临床结果之间,这与我们的方法相结合,提供了一个全面的AMR分析。该报告研究了酶降解和外排泵过表达以及靶修饰和水平基因转移的耐药机制,因为这些因素是当今抗菌素耐药性发展的重要因素。本文综述了AMR对医院和社区环境的影响,其中它影响的病原体包括MRSA,耐碳青霉烯肺炎克雷伯菌和耐药铜绿假单胞菌。本文件探讨了现代抗菌素耐药性管理方法,包括世卫组织GLASS分子监测系统和三种创新策略,如crispr修饰的基因组编辑和噬菌体治疗,以及抗菌肽和人工智能诊断工具。结论AMR的解决需要科学、全面的操作方法和先进的治疗手段。全世界对耐药感染负担的管理既需要加强感染预防程序,又需要采用新一代抗菌素战略,以有效减少病例。

Human DExD/H-box RNA helicases are ubiquitous molecular motors that unwind and rearrange RNA secondary structures in an ATP-dependent manner. These enzymes play essential roles in nearly all aspects of RNA metabolism. While their biological functions are well-characterized, the kinetic mechanisms remain relatively understudied in vitro. In this study, we describe the development and optimization of a bioluminescence-based assay to characterize the ATPase activity of three human RNA helicases: MDA5, LGP2, and DDX1. The assays were conducted using annealed 24-mer ds-RNA (blunt-ended double-stranded RNA) or double-stranded RNA with a 25-nt 3ʹ overhang (partial ds-RNA). These findings establish a robust and high-throughput in vitro assay suitable for a 384-well format, enabling the discovery and characterization of inhibitors targeting MDA5, LGP2, and DDX1. This work provides a valuable resource for advancing our understanding of these helicases and their therapeutic potential in Alzheimer's disease.
人类DExD/H-box RNA解旋酶是普遍存在的分子马达,以atp依赖的方式解开和重排RNA二级结构。这些酶在RNA代谢的几乎所有方面起着至关重要的作用。虽然它们的生物学功能已经被很好地表征,但在体外的动力学机制研究仍然相对不足。在这项研究中,我们描述了一种基于生物发光的测定方法的开发和优化,以表征三种人类RNA解旋酶:MDA5, LGP2和DDX1的atp酶活性。检测使用退火的24-mer ds-RNA(钝端双链RNA)或25-nt 3'悬垂双链RNA (ds-RNA)进行。这些发现建立了一个强大的、高通量的体外检测方法,适用于384孔格式,能够发现和表征靶向MDA5、LGP2和DDX1的抑制剂。这项工作为我们进一步了解这些解旋酶及其在阿尔茨海默病中的治疗潜力提供了宝贵的资源。

Hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and bone abnormalities. The key enzyme in homocysteine metabolism, cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) is recognized as a target for new homocysteine-lowering therapies including enzyme replacement and gene therapy. Currently, there are no pharmacotherapies available that enhance CBS activity through its allosteric mechanism. The only known allosteric activator of CBS is S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), which is available as a food supplement, but its effectiveness is limited by low membrane permeability and universal involvement in methylation reactions as a substrate. The discovery of CBS activators in high-throughput screening is challenging due to a lack of dedicated assays. Available HTS-compatible activity assays for CBS rely on measuring the product hydrogen sulfide or methanethiol where the signal increases with increased CBS activity. In the case of fluorescence-based assays, it is challenging to discern activators from autofluorescent compounds.
In this study, we introduce a homocysteine consumption assay for isolated human CBS (HconCBS) based on the absorbance of Ellman's reagent. This assay leverages a decrease in signal upon CBS activation, with performance parameters exceeding the requirements for high-throughput screening. In a commercial library of 3010 compounds, the HconCBS assay identified 10 hit compounds as more active than SAM, whereas a fluorescence-based assay using 7-azido-4-methylcoumarin (AzMC) identified 141 hits. HconCBS identified 101 compounds with autoabsorbance which did not include hit compounds, while the fluorescence-based assay identified 383 autofluorescent compounds which included all hit compounds. While 4 out of 10 HconCBS hits were confirmed when purchased from a new source, the compounds affected homocysteine rather than CBS. Nevertheless, HconCBS consistently detected the CBS activator seleno-adenosyl-L-methionine (SeAM) added to 4 library plates and re-discovered the same library hits in 3 out of 4 re-screened plates.
Taken together, HconCBS was designed to enable the discovery of allosteric CBS activators with greater reliability than fluorescence-based methods. Despite identifying some compounds that acted on homocysteine rather than CBS, the assay consistently identified the CBS activators SAM and SeAM and demonstrated reproducibility across two screening rounds. These findings establish HconCBS as a valuable tool for identifying potential therapeutic candidates for hyperhomocysteinemia, addressing a key gap in the development of CBS-targeted pharmacotherapies.
高同型半胱氨酸血症是心血管疾病、神经系统疾病和骨骼异常的危险因素。胱硫氨酸-β-合成酶(CBS)是同型半胱氨酸代谢的关键酶,被认为是酶替代和基因治疗等新型同型半胱氨酸降低疗法的靶点。目前,尚无药物疗法可通过其变构机制增强CBS活性。唯一已知的CBS变构激活剂是s -腺苷- l-蛋氨酸(SAM),可作为食品补充剂,但其有效性受到低膜通透性和作为底物普遍参与甲基化反应的限制。由于缺乏专门的检测方法,在高通量筛选中发现CBS激活剂具有挑战性。可用于CBS的高温高温相容活性分析依赖于测量产物硫化氢或甲硫醇,其中信号随着CBS活性的增加而增加。在基于荧光分析的情况下,从自荧光化合物中辨别激活剂是具有挑战性的。在这项研究中,我们介绍了一种基于Ellman试剂吸光度的人分离CBS (HconCBS)的同型半胱氨酸消耗测定方法。该分析利用CBS激活时信号的减少,其性能参数超过了高通量筛选的要求。在一个包含3010个化合物的商业文库中,HconCBS法鉴定出10个命中的化合物比SAM更有活性,而使用7-叠氮-4-甲基香豆素(AzMC)的荧光法鉴定出141个命中。HconCBS鉴定出101种具有自吸光度的化合物,其中不包括命中化合物,而基于荧光的测定鉴定出383种具有自吸光度的化合物,其中包括所有命中化合物。虽然从新来源购买时,10个HconCBS中有4个被证实,但这些化合物影响的是同型半胱氨酸,而不是CBS。然而,HconCBS一致地检测到添加到4个文库板中的CBS激活剂硒腺苷- l-蛋氨酸(SeAM),并且在4个重新筛选的板中的3个重新发现了相同的文库点。综上所述,HconCBS被设计为能够比基于荧光的方法更可靠地发现变弹性CBS激活剂。尽管发现了一些作用于同型半胱氨酸而不是CBS的化合物,但该试验一致地确定了CBS的激活剂SAM和SeAM,并在两轮筛选中证明了可重复性。这些发现确立了HconCBS作为确定高同型半胱氨酸血症潜在治疗候选药物的有价值工具,解决了开发以cbs为目标的药物治疗的关键空白。

Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDHKs) are non-canonical serine/threonine kinases that regulate the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Given their central role in metabolism, dysregulation of PDHKs has been linked with a broad variety of pathological conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lactic acidosis, and cancer. While there are many small molecule PDHK inhibitors, including several that have advanced into clinical development, no PDHK inhibitor has been approved for therapeutic use for any indication. Currently the field lacks well-characterized tool compounds that can probe PDHK biology and differentiate between PDHK isoforms. Moreover, disconnects between biochemical and cell-based assays have complicated efforts to understand the biological effect of inhibiting PDHK catalytic activity. To better understand how PDHK inhibitors function in cells, we have developed a cell-based assay using NanoBRET Target Engagement technology. Here, we describe the use of NanoBRET to evaluate binding at the PDHK ATP and lipoamide sites. Using these assays, we have profiled previously described PDHK inhibitors and demonstrated the ability of NanoBRET to distinguish between PDHK inhibitors with different mechanisms of action and to elucidate isoform selectivity.
丙酮酸脱氢酶激酶(PDHKs)是调节丙酮酸脱氢酶复合物的非规范丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶。鉴于pdhk在代谢中的核心作用,pdhk的失调与多种病理状况有关,如心血管疾病、糖尿病、乳酸酸中毒和癌症。虽然有许多小分子PDHK抑制剂,包括一些已经进入临床开发,但没有PDHK抑制剂被批准用于治疗任何适应症。目前,该领域缺乏表征良好的工具化合物,可以探测PDHK生物学并区分PDHK异构体。此外,生物化学和基于细胞的分析之间的脱节使得了解抑制PDHK催化活性的生物学效应的努力变得复杂。为了更好地了解PDHK抑制剂在细胞中的作用,我们利用NanoBRET靶结合技术开发了一种基于细胞的检测方法。在这里,我们描述了使用NanoBRET来评估PDHK ATP和脂酰胺位点的结合。通过这些实验,我们分析了先前描述的PDHK抑制剂,并证明了NanoBRET区分具有不同作用机制的PDHK抑制剂的能力,并阐明了同种异构体的选择性。

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive age-related lung disease with an average survival of 3–5 years post-diagnosis if left untreated. It is characterized by lung fibrosis, inflammation, and destruction of lung architecture, leading to worsening respiratory symptoms and physiological impairment, ultimately culminating in progressive respiratory failure. The development of novel therapeutics for the treatment of IPF represents a significant unmet medical need. Fibroblast to myofibroblast transition (FMT) in response to fibrogenic mediators such as transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) has been identified as a key cellular phenotype driving the formation of myofibroblasts and lung fibrosis in IPF. Establishing a robust and high-throughput in vitro human FMT assay is crucial for uncovering new disease targets and for efficiently screening compounds for the advancement of novel therapeutics aimed at targeting myofibroblast activity. However, creating a robust FMT assay suitable for high-throughput drug screening has proven challenging due to the requisite level of automation.
In this study, we focus on evaluating different automation approaches for liquid exchange and compound dosing in the human FMT assay. A semi-automated assay, capable of screening a large number of compounds that inhibit TGF-β1-induced FMT in both Normal Human Lung Fibroblasts (NHLF) and IPF-patient derived Disease Human Lung Fibroblasts (IPF-DHLF), has been successfully developed and optimized. We demonstrate that the optimized FMT assay using liquid handling automation exhibits great assay reproducibility, shows good assay translation using human lung fibroblasts from normal healthy versus IPF-patients, and demonstrates acceptable human primary donor variability. This allows for the standardization of comparisons of compound anti-fibrotic potency across IPF projects.
特发性肺纤维化(IPF)是一种慢性进行性年龄相关肺部疾病,如果不及时治疗,诊断后平均生存期为3-5年。其特征是肺纤维化、炎症和肺结构破坏,导致呼吸系统症状恶化和生理损害,最终导致进行性呼吸衰竭。治疗IPF的新疗法的发展代表了一个重要的未满足的医疗需求。成纤维细胞向肌成纤维细胞转化(FMT)是对转化生长因子β1 (TGF-β1)等成纤维介质的反应,已被确定为IPF中驱动肌成纤维细胞形成和肺纤维化的关键细胞表型。建立一个强大的、高通量的体外人FMT检测方法对于发现新的疾病靶点和有效筛选化合物以推进针对肌成纤维细胞活性的新疗法至关重要。然而,由于必要的自动化水平,创建一个适用于高通量药物筛选的强大的FMT分析已被证明具有挑战性。在这项研究中,我们着重于评估人类FMT测定中液体交换和化合物给药的不同自动化方法。成功开发并优化了一种半自动化检测方法,能够筛选大量抑制正常人肺成纤维细胞(NHLF)和ipf患者来源的疾病人肺成纤维细胞(IPF-DHLF)中TGF-β1诱导的FMT的化合物。我们证明,使用液体处理自动化的优化FMT分析具有很高的分析重复性,在正常健康的人肺成纤维细胞与ipf患者之间显示了良好的分析翻译,并且显示了可接受的人类原发供体可变性。这允许在IPF项目中比较化合物抗纤维化效力的标准化。

Senescent cells contribute to the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a disease with significant unmet need and therefore, there is an interest in discovering new drug targets that regulate this process. We design and perform a phenotypic screen with a secreted protein library in primary human lung fibroblasts to identify modulators of cell senescence. We identify FGF9 as a suppressor of several senescence phenotypes reducing stimulated p21 expression, enlarged morphology, DNA damage and SASP secretion, which is consistent with both DNA-damage and ROS induced senescence. We also show that FGF9 reduces fibroblast activation in both healthy and IPF fibroblasts shown by a reduction in pro-fibrotic markers such as α-smooth muscle actin and COL1A1 mRNA. Our findings identify FGF9 as a suppressor of both senescence and fibrotic features in lung fibroblasts and therefore could be targeted as a new therapeutic strategy for respiratory diseases such as IPF.
衰老细胞参与特发性肺纤维化(IPF)的发病机制,这是一种尚未得到满足的疾病,因此,发现调节这一过程的新药物靶点是一种兴趣。我们设计并使用原代人肺成纤维细胞分泌蛋白文库进行表型筛选,以鉴定细胞衰老的调节因子。我们发现FGF9是几种衰老表型的抑制因子,可减少受刺激的p21表达、形态扩大、DNA损伤和SASP分泌,这与DNA损伤和ROS诱导的衰老一致。我们还发现,FGF9降低了健康和IPF成纤维细胞的成纤维细胞活化,表现为α-平滑肌肌动蛋白和COL1A1 mRNA等促纤维化标志物的减少。我们的研究结果确定FGF9是肺成纤维细胞衰老和纤维化特征的抑制因子,因此可以作为呼吸系统疾病(如IPF)的新治疗策略。
