This study investigates the inhibitory potential of Trans-Cannabitriol (trans-CBT), a minor cannabinoid, against MPXV proteins L1R, H3L, and E8L using an integrative in silico framework. Homology modeling was employed to generate 3D structures of these proteins, followed by molecular docking and 1 µs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The trans-CBT demonstrated strong binding affinities for L1R (-10.76 kcal/mol) and E8L (-8.531 kcal/mol), with weaker interactions observed for H3L (-5.739 kcal/mol). Four MD simulations of 1 µs revealed that trans-CBT stabilizes L1R by reducing its flexibility and solvent exposure, potentially inhibiting viral entry into host cells. In contrast, trans-CBT increased the flexibility and conformational changes of E8L, possibly impairing its function in viral attachment and pathogenesis. ADMET and target prediction analyses further supported its drug-likeness and safety, with the absence of strong CB1/CB2 binding suggesting that trans-CBT may exert its antiviral effects independently of classical cannabinoid pathways. These findings provide insights into the diverse mechanisms of action of trans-CBT on MPXV proteins and underscore its potential as a broad-spectrum antiviral agent. While promising, further experimental validation and optimization are necessary to assess the real-world applicability of trans-CBT in combating MPXV infections.

Recent studies have shown that peripheral arterial disorders increase a person's risk of developing CAD.

Despite these similarities, many diseases have no known treatments, which raises grave concerns for world health. The study aims to identify common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CAD and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) patients and investigate biological pathways, network-based analysis, immune and inflammatory profiling, biomarker identification, and multi-omics integration. This helps in early detection and targeted treatment strategies. The results revealed 48 upregulated DEGs that were shared among CAD and peripheral arterial disorders. Functional enrichment analysis revealed mainly myofibril assembly and actomyosin organization, highlighting muscle development and cellular structure, and KEGG pathway analysis revealed amino acid metabolism pathways.

{"title":"A Reverse Vaccinology and Immunoinformatic Approach for the Designing of a Novel mRNA Vaccine Against Stomach Cancer Targeting the Potent Pathogenic Proteins of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>.","authors":"Abanti Barua, Md Habib Ullah Masum, Ahmad Abdullah Mahdeen","doi":"10.1177/11779322251331104","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/11779322251331104","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p><i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection of the stomach's epithelial cells is a significant risk factor for stomach cancer. Various <i>H pylori</i> proteins (CagA, GGT, NapA, PatA, urease, and VacA) were targeted to design 2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, V1 and V2, using bioinformatics tools. Physicochemical parameters, secondary and tertiary structure, molecular docking and dynamic simulation, codon optimization, and RNA structure prediction have also been estimated for these developed vaccines. Physicochemical analyses revealed that these developed vaccines are soluble (GRAVY < 0), basic (pI < 7), and stable (aliphatic index < 80). The secondary and tertiary structure of the vaccines demonstrated robustness. The docking with toll-like receptors (TLRs) revealed that the vaccines have a potential affinity for TLR-2 (V1: -1132.3 kJ/mol, V2: -1093.6 kJ/mol) and TLR-4 (V1: -1042.7 kJ/mol, V2: -1201.2 kJ/mol), and molecular dynamics simulations confirmed their dynamic stability. Structural analyses of V1 (-505.96 kcal/mol) and V2 (-634.92 kcal/mol) mRNA vaccines underscored their stability. In addition, the vaccine showed a considerable rise in the counts of B cells and extended activation of both T cells was also observed for the vaccines, suggesting the potential for long-lasting immunity, and offering enhanced protection against <i>H pylori</i>. These findings not only suggest potential long-lasting immunity against <i>H pylori</i> but also offer hope for the future of stomach cancer prevention. Notably, the study emphasizes the need for subsequent animal and human-based studies to confirm these promising results.</p>","PeriodicalId":9065,"journal":{"name":"Bioinformatics and Biology Insights","volume":"19 ","pages":"11779322251331104"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12033411/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143967723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
