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. These findings provide a crucial foundation for future epidrugs discovery targeting cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":19343,"journal":{"name":"Nucleosides, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143586398","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}

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) represents a critical biological process through which tumor cells gain migratory and invasive capabilities.

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.
