Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 is believed to cause cytopathic effects in forming multinucleated cells, known as syncytia. Syncytia due to SARS-CoV-2 infection found in lung tissue samples of COVID-19 patients represents a case of COVID-19 with a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is very important to study the mechanism of syncytia formation and to test candidate materials that can inhibit the occurrence of syncytia and potentially be applied in the treatment or prevention of COVID-19. Since syncytia counting and analysis are time-consuming, we utilized a high-content screening (HCS) instrument in this study to automate syncytia analysis. We used 293T cells transfected with plasmids to express the SARS-CoV-2 spike, human angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (hACE-2), and a plasmid encoding lifeact-GFP as an F-actin biosensor to facilitate syncytia analysis using the HCS instrument. In this study, syncytia analysis was carried out using HCS software. The HCS application categorizes cells as multi-nuclei by counting the number of cell nuclei stained with DAPI in cells that emitted green fluorescence due to lifeact-GFP expression. Syncytia analysis is time-consuming because of the calculation of the number of syncytia formed in a confluent cell monolayer culture. Hopefully, utilizing the HCS platform can accelerate the test of syncytia inhibition after various treatments using test compounds.Keywords: 293T cells, high-content analysis, SARS-CoV-2, spike, syncytia.

Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is a malignant tumor that grows in the breast tissue and can spread to other organs. BC is often found at an advanced stage and therefore has a poor prognosis. With 68,858 cases, BC is the most common type of cancer in Indonesia. The development of breast carcinoma is strongly influenced by steroid hormones and their receptors, such as estrogen, progesterone, and androgen. Androgen receptors (AR) are found more (70-90%) compared to estrogen receptors (60-80%) and progesterone receptors (50-70%). Therefore, research on natural compounds that inhibit cancer cell proliferation influenced by AR needs to be increased. The lotus plant (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) has been used as a traditional herbal medicine and food in Asia. Bioactive compounds in lotus have therapeutic potential against BC. In the pharmacophore screening results, five hit compounds were found: isorhamnetin, luteolin, catechin, kaempferol, and apigenin. The compound with the best pharmacophore fit score value is isorhamnetin with a value of 41.31, while the compound with the best binding affinity to AR is kaempferol with a binding affinity of -9.44 and an inhibitor constant of 121.12 nM.Keywords: breast-cancer, androgen-α receptor, lotus, molecular docking.

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Tamoxifen, a widely used estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) inhibitor, is effective but often causes side effects, necessitating the search for alternative inhibitors from natural sources. Ortosiphon aristatus, also known as cat's whiskers, is a medicinal plant traditionally valued for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Recent studies suggest its bioactive compounds may exhibit anticancer activity by inducing apoptosis in cancer cell lines. This study explores the potential of O. aristatus metabolites as ER-α inhibitors using computational approaches. Nine metabolites were assessed for their physicochemical properties based on Lipinski’s rule of five and ADMET predictions, followed by pharmacophore-based virtual screening with LigandScout and molecular docking with AutoDock. The results showed that all tested compounds complied with Lipinski’s rule, and most met ADMET criteria. Among these, rosmarinic acid was identified as one of the hit compounds based on pharmacophore screening, exhibiting binding interactions comparable to 4-hydroxytamoxifen with the ER-α amino acid residues HIS524 and GLY521. It also demonstrated a binding energy of -8.02 kcal/mol and a low inhibition constant (Ki) of 1.31 μM. These findings highlight the potential of O. aristatus and rosmarinic acid for further evaluation as candidates against ER-α in breast cancer cells.Keywords: breast cancer, estrogen receptor-alpha, Orthosiphon aristatus, in silico.

Abstract

Medicinal plants containing multi-components have the potential for multi-target genes, multi-pathways, and various effects on diverse diseases. With the increasing technological advancements, understanding the complex interactions between multi-component substances and biological systems is becoming more crucial. In this context, conventional experimental research might have limitations as it typically focuses on the impact of one component on one gene. The objective of this research is to identify compounds in the bark extract of Lansium parasiticum and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of these compounds in inhibiting the progression of breast cancer cells using a network pharmacology approach. Compound identification in Lansium parasiticum bark extract (LPBE) has been conducted using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrophotometry (LC-MS/MS) technique. ADMET predictions were utilized to determine the absorption and bioavailability profiles. A network pharmacology approach employing Cytoscape 3.9.1, GeneCards, Disgenet, STRING 2.0.0, SRplot, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) was used to predict the anti-cancer molecular mechanisms of these compounds. Seventeen active compounds have been successfully identified via LC-MS/MS. Among these, the compounds Moronic Acid, 4-Morpholineacetic Acid, and Ursolic Aldehyde were found in the highest concentrations. The results of the network pharmacology analysis indicate that the compounds in LPBE are involved in three potential pathways for breast cancer treatment: the NF-κß signaling pathway (hsa 04064), microRNA in cancer (hsa05206), and apoptosis (hsa04210). Target genes implicated in these pathways include BAX, BCL2, TNF-α, PARP1, STAT3, NOTCH1, and NF-κß1. It can be concluded that LPBE contains compounds with potential for treating breast cancer, as they are predicted to interact with relevant target pathways and genes. Therefore, further research is highly recommended, particularly in the development of drugs for breast cancer.Keywords: apoptosis, microRNA, NF-κß, TNF-α, STAT3.

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is an abnormal cell growth in the pancreas. In 2021, approximately 60,430 individuals were diagnosed in the USA, with the annual increasing incidence rates. Pancreatic cancer is anticipated to become the second leading cause of cancer mortality by 2030. This escalating challenge has prompted a search for innovative therapeutic agents. Virtual screening, a computational technique, was employed to discover novel drug-like compounds from a diverse set of 30 chemical compounds, sourced from the PubChem database. These compounds were evaluated based on some important properties, including pharmacokinetics, lipophilicity, drug-likeness, water-solubility, and physicochemical characteristics. Seventeen compounds emerged as promising candidates for pancreatic cancer treatment. Subsequent molecular docking studies focused on the Kras-G12D protein target and identified Ligand 18 as the leading candidate, exhibiting a binding energy (BE) of -10.5 kcal mol-1 and extensive interactions with the target protein. Additionally, a newly designed compound, D4, displayed an even higher BE of -10.8 kcal mol-1, fitting more effectively into the protein's binding site than existing drugs like Gemcitabine and Irinotecan. All newly designed compounds met the five scientists' rule, indicating favorable drug-likeness and bioavailability. These findings pave the way for developing a new generation of less toxic therapeutic compounds for pancreatic cancer treatment.Keywords: virtual screening, binding energy, kras-G12D, pancreatic cancer, designed compounds.
