A 20-mer synthetic peptide corresponding to the human RNLS amino acid sequence 220-239 (RP220) exhibits a number of pharmacologically attractive activities in vitro and in vivo and can bind to many renal intracellular proteins. The RP220 sequence contains several cleavage sites for extracellular and circulating proteases. Here, we investigated the interaction of model proteins with the renalase peptide RP220 and a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino acid sequence of RNLS 224-232, named RP224-232. We also performed affinity-based proteomic profiling of normotensive rat kidney samples with these peptides as affinity ligands. The obtained results indicate that both peptides exhibit almost the same affinity for model proteins (pyruvate kinase and lactate dehydrogenase), and the kidney proteomic profiles differ slightly. At the same time, the relative content of a number of kidney proteins bound to the RP224-232 peptide was even higher than in the case of using RP220. This suggests that proteolytic processing of RP220 does not inactivate this peptide; moreover, it could contribute to the formation of shorter peptides with additional pharmacological activities.</p>","PeriodicalId":8889,"journal":{"name":"Biomeditsinskaya khimiya","volume":"71 1","pages":"65-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143565884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we continued the study on the effect of using two vectors in a phospholipid delivery system of doxorubicin (Dox) for targeted therapy of breast cancer. We have obtained a composition NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(2.0) with the same linker length for both targeting ligands, cRGD and folic acid (PEG 2000). The resulting composition NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(2.0) with a particle size less than 50 nm and with 99% Dox incorporated into nanoparticles in an experiment on drug release at different pH values (5.0 and 7.4) showed a faster release and a high level of Dox compared to the phospholipid nanoform and a composition containing only the cRGD peptide. In vitro experiments on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells expressing the folate receptor and integrin αvβ3 demonstrated an increase in the total accumulation and internalization of Dox upon incubation with the dual-vector composition compared to the control samples. On the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line (expressing only the folate receptor), a similar effect was observed upon incubation with the single-vector composition containing folic acid (NPh-Dox-Fol(2.0)). In experiments with normal Wi-38 cell line, the internalization and total accumulation of the drug were comparable for both the free substance and the vector compositions. After 24 h-incubation of MDA-MB-231 cells with Dox-containing (10 μg/ml DOX) samples, the lowest percentage of living cells was observed for the studied dual-vector composition NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(2.0). On MCF-7 cells, the cytotoxic effect was manifested equally for the studied samples. The study of the cell death pathway on MDA-MB-231 cells showed the predominance of the apoptotic pathway (late apoptosis), while in the case of MCF-7 the necrosis pathway predominated. The cell cycle study performed using MDA-MB-231 cells (folate receptor (+) and integrin αvβ3 (+)) revealed an increase in the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase was noted thus indicating apoptotic cell death during incubation with NPh-Dox-cRGD-Fol(2.0).

This type of cancer accounts for up to 90% of all primary liver tumors and is the third leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Despite the advances in modern medicine, diagnostics and treatment of HCC remain challenging, especially in the later stages, when the patient's prognosis significantly worsens and treatment options are very limited. More than half a century has passed since Yu.S. Tatarinov discovered embryo-specific α-globulin in the blood of people with primary liver cancer in 1963, which was later called alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), but unfortunately, the number of specific and sensitive biomarkers for HCC remains very limited. In this regard, many scientific papers are devoted to the search and study of potential HCC biomarkers, which are essential for early diagnostics, prognosis, and development of new therapeutic strategies. Proteomic studies represent one of the promising approaches to investigate both molecular mechanisms of HCC occurrence and HCC biomarkers. Identification of specific protein profiles characteristic of tumor cells can contribute to the identification of new biomarkers that can be used not only for early detection of the disease, but also for monitoring its progression, assessing the response to therapy and predicting the clinical outcome.

In this work, a multi-target model of the dependence of the anxiolytic activity of chemical compounds on their integral affinity to relevant target proteins based on the correlation convolution of multiple docking energy spectra has been constructed using the method of artificial neural networks. The training set of the structure and activity of 537 known anxiolytic substances was formed on the basis of the previously created database, and optimized 3D models of these compounds were built. 22 biotargets presumably relevant to anxiolytic activity were identified and their valid 3D models were found. For each biotarget, 27 multiple docking spaces have been formed throughout its entire volume. Multiple ensemble molecular docking of 537 known anxiolytic compounds into all spaces of relevant target proteins has been performed. The correlation convolution of the calculated energy spectra of multiple docking was carried out. Using seven training options based on artificial multilayer perceptron neural networks, the multi-target model of depending anxiolytic activity chemical compounds on 22 parameters of the correlation convolution of the multiple docking spectra energy was constructed.
