The expression levels of Kinesin family member 20 A (KIF20A) and FOXM1 in BC tissues and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) were determined using RT-qPCR. Following co-culture of macrophages with BC cells, the impact of FOXM1 on the proliferation, invasive migration ability, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of BC cells was assessed using cell counting kit-8, Transwell, and Western blot assays respectively. Both the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) test and the dual luciferase reporter gene assay were used to confirm the connection between FOXM1 and KIF20A. Furthermore, the effect of FOXM1 on BC cell growth in vivo was evaluated via subcutaneous tumor formation assay conducted in nude mice. BC cell growth and metastasis were aided by M2 macrophage polarization. KIF20A and FOXM1 expression levels were markedly elevated in both TAMs and BC tissues. FOXM1 drived M2 polarization of macrophages by transcriptionally activating KIF20A. In vitro studies have demonstrated that FOXM1, through its regulation of KIF20A, enhanced BC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT.

Apo2L/TRAIL, a tumor necrosis factor-related ligand, induces apoptosis in cancer cells via the death receptor DR4. However, TNBC often develops resistance to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, limiting its therapeutic potential. This study investigates whether arsenic trioxide (ATO) can overcome TRAIL resistance by modulating the Apo2L/TRAIL pathway and enhancing the effects of carboplatin (CP) and cyclophosphamide (CY). TNBC cell lines BT-20 and MDA-MB-231 were treated with ATO, CP, CY, and their combinations. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay, while real-time PCR and Western blot analysis assessed Apo2L/TRAIL and DR4 expression. Statistical analysis was performed using ANOVA with Dunnett's post hoc test. ATO induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity in TNBC cells, which was significantly enhanced in combination treatments. The highest reductions in cell viability were observed with 3 µM ATO plus 5000 µM CP or 500 µM CY (p < 0.0001). ATO markedly upregulated Apo2L/TRAIL and DR4 at both mRNA and protein levels, with the most pronounced effects seen in ATO-CY combinations. These findings indicate that ATO sensitizes TNBC cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis by upregulating DR4 and Apo2L/TRAIL, while also exhibiting strong synergistic cytotoxicity with CP and CY. This highlights ATO's potential as an adjuvant therapy to improve TNBC treatment efficacy and overcome chemoresistance, warranting further clinical exploration.</p>","PeriodicalId":510,"journal":{"name":"Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143956535","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}

Stressing the growing interest in peptide-derived drugs featuring better selectivity and efficacy, a computational protocol was applied to design a peptide inhibitor for ACSS2. Herein, 3600 peptide sequences derived from ACSS2 nucleotide motif were generated by classifying the 20 amino acids into six physiochemical groups. De novo modeling maintained essential binding interactions, and a refined library of 16 peptides was derived using Support Vector Machine filters to ensure proper bioavailability, toxicity, and therapeutic relevance. Structural and folding predictions, along with molecular docking, identified the top candidate, Pep16, which demonstrated significantly higher binding affinity (91.1 ± 1.6 kcal/mol) compared to a known inhibitor (53.7 ± 0.7 kcal/mol). Further molecular dynamics simulations and binding free energy calculations revealed that Pep16 enhances ACSS2 conformational variability, occupies a larger binding interface, and achieved firm binding. MM/GBSA analysis highlighted key electrostatic interactions with specific ACSS2 residues, including ARG 373, ARG 526, ARG 628, ARG 631, and LYS 632. Overall, Pep16 appears to lock the ACSS2 nucleotide pocket into a compact, rigid conformation, potentially blocking ATP binding and catalytic activity, and may serve as a novel specific ACSS2 inhibitor.
