Targeting chromatin modulators to normalize these epigenetic markers is a promising avenue for overcoming cancer drug resistance and improving treatment efficacy. Histone chaperones, implicated in cancer due to their imperfect compensatory mechanisms, represent potential targets for epidrugs. To identify these targets, we performed enrichment and network analyses of histone chaperone interactions, both among themselves and with other proteins. This approach provided insights into structure-function relationships. The selective binding of histone chaperones to canonical histones highlights their potential as epidrugs targets. Network analysis of common histone chaperones identified key hub proteins: HSP90AB1, RBBP4, NPM1, DAXX, and SET. These hub proteins, particularly RBBP4, which formed the largest protein cluster was found associated with oncogenesis, suggesting RBBP4 as prime candidates for therapeutic intervention. Druggability prediction of these hub protein pockets further identified RBBP4 as the most promising target, with Ritonavir emerging as a potential epidrugs.

Prior investigations have demonstrated that the Nilotinib derivative, N-12, exhibits significant antitumor properties. The objective of this study is to elucidate the inhibitory effects of N-12 on the progression of EMT in colon cancer cells. So, the human colon cancer cell line HCT116 and SW480 were selected for experimentation. Initially, assessments of cell proliferation, migration and invasion were conducted utilizing MTT, colony formation, Edu and Transwell assays. Subsequently, the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane model was employed to evaluate tumor size and its impact on angiogenesis in vivo. Thereafter, HCT116 cells treated with N-12 underwent RNA sequencing for analysis. Finally, the expression levels of EMT markers in colon cancer cells were determined by Western blot analysis. The results showed that N-12 significantly curtails the proliferation, migration, and invasion of colon cancer cells, and concurrently impedes tumor growth in vivo by influencing angiogenesis within the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane. Furthermore, RNA sequencing and Western blot analyses have elucidated that the antitumor efficacy of N-12 is attributable to the inhibition of the EMT signaling pathway.

Herein, 68 patients with CKD, 65 patients with CKD undergoing peridialysis, and 80 healthy adults were included. The real-time reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to assess NOP14-AS1 levels, and its diagnostic value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves. Additionally, cell proliferation and apoptosis were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. and flow cytometry, respectively. Oxidative stress levels were determined using superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde MDA kits, and the dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine the relationship between NOP14-AS1 and microRNA-326 (miR-326) target binding. Lastly, the potential mechanism underlying miR-326 target gene regulation in CKD progression were explored utilizing Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases. Notably, patients with CKD exhibited decreasedNOP14-AS1 levels and upregulated miR-326 levels. NOP14-AS1 and miR-326 exhibited combined effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammatory factors, and oxidative stress levels. Furthermore, the target genes of miR-326 showed enrichment in CKD-associated rat sarcoma and phosphoinositide 3-kinase protein kinase B pathways. Altogether, the findings of this study show the potential of NOP14-AS1 as a diagnostic marker in CKD. Overall, NOP14-AS1 regulates the miR-326 expression, which, in turn, regulates various miR-326 target gene-associated signaling pathways, thereby affecting the occurrence and development of CKD.</p>","PeriodicalId":19343,"journal":{"name":"Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143040000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
