However, no specific inhibitors or drugs targeting SMYD4 are currently available. In this study, molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations were used to screen small molecule lead compounds binding to SMYD4 protein. CCK8 assay, colony formation assay, EdU assay were used to analyze the viability and proliferation of tumor cells. Flow cytometric analysis was used to evaluate cell apoptosis and cell cycle. Clorazepate, Ativan, Darifenacin and Eltrombopag were found to bind with SMYD4 with the highest probability and to meet the five principles of the drug class. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that Eltrombopag had the strongest binding capacity to SMYD4 protein. The functional analysis showed that Eltrombopag inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis in vivo and in vitro at low density. Moreover, Eltrombopag enhanced ubiquitination of SMYD4 protein and promoted its degradation via thyroid hormone receptor interactor 12(TRIP12). These findings suggest that Eltrombopag is a potential inhibitor of SMYD4 protein, representing a novel leading compound for SMYD4 and applied for tumor treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":7284,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Therapeutics","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A by the monoclonal antibody bevacizumab, despite failing to improve survival in randomized trials, yields relevant benefits in glioblastoma patients such as reduction of radionecrosis, an adverse event associated with radiotherapy. This demands for continued research to identify optimal combinations of anti-VEGF-A and standard therapies for glioblastoma treatment. We show here that blocking VEGF-A in an immune competent orthotopic glioblastoma mouse model resembling the adverse mesenchymal molecular subtype increases the tumoricidal effect of computed tomography (CT)-based fractionated radiotherapy and also rectifies irradiation-induced expression of genes with known association to mesenchymal subtype enrichment as revealed by microarray-based transcriptome analyses of explanted tumors. VEGF-A blockade also decreases the expression of myeloid-cell-related gene patterns in irradiated tumors and lowers inflammatory response in normal brain tissue after tumor irradiation. Hence, these data both provide a hint how blockade of VEGF-A increases the effect of radiotherapy in mesenchymal glioblastoma and a mechanistic base for clinical observations reporting reduced incidences of radionecrosis in glioblastoma patients treated with radiotherapy upon concurrent administration of bevacizumab.</p>","PeriodicalId":7284,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Therapeutics","volume":"8 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/adtp.202400374","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143397349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Effective prevention of and recovery from IAI is complex, involving antibacterial treatment and the promotion of bone integration. However, the current artificial implants used in clinics often lack effective antibacterial properties and have limited functionality. In this study, Lipopeptide 01 (LP01), a lipopeptide derived from the skin commensal <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i> is successfully immobilized, onto the porous surface of sulfonated Poly (ether-ether-ketone) (SPEEK) to create a novel artificial implant, LP01-PS. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrates that LP01-PS displays favorable material properties, biocompatibility, outstanding antibacterial characteristics, and the ability to promote bone formation. Mechanistically, LP01-PS enhances antibacterial activities by triggering TLR2/P65 signaling, upregulating the expression of LL37 and β-defensins in macrophages. Furthermore, it can boost the osteogenic differentiation capability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) through the β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby facilitating bone formation. The discovery of LP01-PS with dual antibacterial and osteogenic effects, coupled with insights into its mode of action, suggests that LP01-PS can serve as a promising implant material to enhance the success rates of total joint replacement surgeries, mitigate the risks of infection and prosthetic loosening, and foster the repair and regeneration of bone tissue.</p>","PeriodicalId":7284,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Therapeutics","volume":"8 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hybrid carrier combines poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and an amphiphilic cyclodextrin derivative, with physicochemical properties and drug release kinetics controlled by adjusting polymer ratios. The systems exhibited baseline drug release at pH 5 with increased rates at pH 2, which is characteristic of actively inflamed IBD tissue. Assessing the impact of biomolecule adhesion, biocorona formation was studied using ex vivo human intestinal fluids. Corona composition highly depended on the patient's prandial state and the nanocarrier matrix, with proteins predominating in the fasted state and lipids in the fed state. Notably, differences in the attachment of proteins and free fatty acids are detected in the latter. Transport studies using human in vitro models of the inflamed intestine revealed mucosal accumulation, facilitating localized drug delivery and effectively reducing cytokine levels to basal concentrations.

Established approaches are characterized by adverse drug-related side effects that can even be potentially life-threatening. In contrast, increased interest and remarkable scientific progress in targeted drug delivery systems offer a promising approach to reduce systemic adverse events, delivering the therapeutic substances only to inflamed tissue. All alteration in gastrointestinal barrier integrity, especially a disturbed epithelial barrier, a unique pattern of the receptors on cell surface and/or an oxidative stress milieu in inflamed areas can be used as effective approaches for targeted and controlled drug delivery.
