Synthesis of curcumin analogs was carried out by reacting 3-benzyloxybenzaldehyde and piperidone derivatives through aldol condensation, while structure elucidation was analyzed with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR) instruments. In vitro analysis revealed that curcumin analogs C1 and C2 had cytotoxic activity (IC 50 ), of which C1 was the highest at 5.45 μg/mL against 4T1 and C2 at 1.75 μg/mL against HER2. The selectivity index indicates that C1 reveals high selectivity on 4T1 cell lines, while C2 is not selective against all breast cancer cell lines. A critical step in tumor initiation and progression is the evasion of apoptosis, a process tightly regulated by proteins such as p53 and BCL-2, which play pivotal roles in controlling cellular survival and programmed cell death. Immunocytochemistry shows the expression of p53 and BCL-2 proteins from C1. Treatment with C1 at 2.725 μg/mL increased p53 protein expression by 86.36% in the 4T1 cell line. In T47D cells, BCL-2 expression decreased slightly at C1 concentrations of 28.34 and 14.17 μg/mL. The pharmacokinetic profile showed increased absorption, tissue distribution, and lower toxicity than curcumin. The main target protein signaling pathways in breast cancer for compounds C1 and C2 can be identified by integrating biological networks, pharmacological data, and molecular interactions, providing insights into potential therapeutic strategies. The outcomes of this study identified that AKT1 is the primary target protein for the curcumin analog compounds C1 and C2. Inhibition of AKT1 activation by compounds C1 and C2 may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of breast cancer. However, due to its lack of selectivity, C2 is best considered a lead compound for optimization, whereas C1 demonstrates both cytotoxicity and selectivity, making it the stronger therapeutic candidate. For further development, it is recommended to conduct direct experimental studies in the laboratory to confirm the role of AKT1 as the main molecular target.","PeriodicalId":16205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Saud University - Science","volume":"37 1","pages":"4362024-4362024"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147332720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to elucidate the functional significance of circPRKCA in modulating ferroptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The expression profiles of circPRKCA in HCC tissues obtained from patients via surgical resection, paired adjacent non-tumorous tissues, and HCC cell lines were quantified using qRT-PCR, while its subcellular localization was determined through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). To explore its functional relevance, circPRKCA was knocked down in HCC cells using small interfering RNA (siRNA), with cellular viability and invasiveness assessed via CCK-8 and Transwell assays, respectively. Ferroptosis progression was evaluated by quantifying ferroptosis-related biomarkers, including total iron content, labile iron pool (Fe 2 ⁺), and lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS). Additionally, an in vivo xenograft mouse model was established to verify the effects of circPRKCA, and bioinformatics analysis combined with dual-luciferase reporter assays was used to identify its interacting molecules. Results showed that circPRKCA is significantly upregulated in HCC; knockdown of circPRKCA induces ferroptosis, suppresses proliferation in HCC cells, and inhibits HCC tumor growth. Furthermore, circPRKCA targets miR-384 to regulate SLC7A11 expression, thereby modulating ferroptosis in HCC cells via the miR-384/SLC7A11 axis.","PeriodicalId":16205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Saud University - Science","volume":"37 1","pages":"382025-382025"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147894894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The collected data represented outcomes after at least twelve months following transplantation of kidney. It was observed that parameters such as glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was improved in subjects administered with mTOR inhibitors, however some studies indicated that acute rejection following biopsy was dominant in subjects administered with mTOR inhibitors. Owing to their complementary mechanisms of action as well as beneficial effects on mitigating nephrotoxicity, concomitantly with favorable outcomes on parameters such as serum creatinine and GFR leading to increased survival, this <em>meta</em>-analysis proposes early utilization of mTOR inhibitors and CNI minimization in subjects with kidney transplantation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Saud University - Science","volume":"36 11","pages":"Article 103481"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142534695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
