Human cells utilize a variety of complex DNA repair mechanisms in order to combat constant mutagenic and cytotoxic threats from both exogenous and endogenous sources. The RecQ family of DNA helicases, which includes Bloom helicase (BLM), plays an important function in DNA repair by unwinding complementary strands of duplex DNA as well as atypical DNA structures such as Holliday junctions. Mutations of the BLM gene can result in Bloom syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder associated with cancer predisposition. BLM-deficient cells exhibit increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents indicating that a selective BLM inhibitor could be useful in potentiating the anticancer activity of these agents. In this work, we describe the medicinal chemistry optimization of the hit molecule following a quantitative high-throughput screen of >355,000 compounds. These efforts lead to the identification of ML216 and related analogs, which possess potent BLM inhibition and exhibit selectivity over related helicases. Moreover, these compounds demonstrated cellular activity by inducing sister chromatid exchanges, a hallmark of Bloom syndrome. 相似文献

Phosphoinositide kinases regulate diverse cellular functions and are important targets for therapeutic development for diseases, such as diabetes and cancer. Preparation of the lipid substrate is crucial for the development of a robust and miniaturizable lipid kinase assay. Enzymatic assays for phosphoinositide kinases often use lipid substrates prepared from lyophilized lipid preparations by sonication, which result in variability in the liposome size from preparation to preparation. Herein, we report a homogeneous 1536-well luciferase-coupled bioluminescence assay for PI5P4Kα. The substrate preparation is novel and allows the rapid production of a DMSO-containing substrate solution without the need for lengthy liposome preparation protocols, thus enabling the scale-up of this traditionally difficult type of assay. The Z’-factor value was greater than 0.7 for the PI5P4Kα assay, indicating its suitability for high-throughput screening applications. Tyrphostin AG-82 had been identified as an inhibitor of PI5P4Kα by assessing the degree of phospho transfer of γ-32P-ATP to PI5P; its inhibitory activity against PI5P4Kα was confirmed in the present miniaturized assay. From a pilot screen of a library of bioactive compounds, another tyrphostin, I-OMe tyrphostin AG-538 (I-OMe-AG-538), was identified as an ATP-competitive inhibitor of PI5P4Kα with an IC50 of 1 µM, affirming the suitability of the assay for inhibitor discovery campaigns. This homogeneous assay may apply to other lipid kinases and should help in the identification of leads for this class of enzymes by enabling high-throughput screening efforts. 相似文献

Mesomelic form of chondrodysplasia and congenital glaucoma associated with de novo translocation (13;18)(q14:q23): Mesomelic dysplasias are characterized by limb shortening most prominent of the middle segment of the extremities (forearm and lower leg). In addition to several syndromic forms a few patients with sporadic or familial forms and without precise nosological classification have been reported so far. In this report we present a young female with disproportionate mesomelic dwarfism, dysmorphic facial features, bilateral glaucoma, patent ductus arteriosus, low and hoarse voice, and generalized muscular hypotonia. At the age of 2.5 years mental development is normal. High resolution G-banded chromosome studies revealed a de novo reciprocal translocation with karyotype 46,XX t (13;18)(q14;q23). The concurrence of this de novo autosomal translocation with this distinct phenotype supports the hypothesis that disruption of (a) gene(s) at the translocation breakpoints causes this unusual, apparently new form of skeletal chondrodysplasia. 相似文献

Locked nucleic acids (LNAs) are synthetic nucleic acid analogs that bind to complementary target molecules (DNA, RNA or LNA) with very high affinity. At the same time, this binding affinity is decreased substantially when the hybrids thus formed contain even a single mismatched base pair. We have exploited these properties of LNA probes to develop a new method for single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping. In this method, very short (hexamer or heptamer) LNA probes are labeled with either rhodamine or hexachlorofluorescein (HEX), and their hybridization to target DNAs is followed by measuring the fluorescence polarization (FP) of the dyes. The formation of perfectly complementary double-stranded hybrids gives rise to significant FP increases, whereas the presence of single mismatches results in very small or no changes of this parameter. Multiplexing of the assay can be achieved by using differentially labeled wild-type and mutant specific probes in the same solution. The method is homogeneous, and because of the use of extremely short LNA probes, the generation of a universal set of genotyping reagents is possible. 相似文献

The selenoprotein thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) has in recent years been identified as a promising anticancer drug target. A high-throughput assay for discovery of novel compounds targeting the enzyme is therefore warranted. Herein, we describe a single-enzyme, dual-purpose assay for simultaneous identification of inhibitors and substrates of TrxR1. Using this assay to screen the LOPAC1280 compound collection we identified several known inhibitors of TrxR1, thus validating the assay, as well as several compounds hitherto unknown to target the enzyme. These included rottlerin (previously reported as a PKCδ inhibitor and mitochondrial uncoupler) and the heme precursor protoporphyrin IX (PpIX). We found that PpIX was a potent competitive inhibitor of TrxR1, with a Ki = 2.7 μM with regard to Trx1, and in the absence of Trx1 displayed time-dependent irreversible inhibition with an apparent second-order rate constant (kinact) of (0.73 ± 0.07) × 10? 3 μM? 1 min? 1. Exogenously delivered PpIX was cytotoxic, inhibited A549 cell proliferation, and was found to also inhibit cellular TrxR activity. Hemin and the ferrochelatase inhibitor NMPP also inhibited TrxR1 and showed cytotoxicity, but less potently compared to PpIX. We conclude that rottlerin-induced cellular effects may involve targeting of TrxR1. The unexpected finding of PpIX as a TrxR1 inhibitor suggests that such inhibition may contribute to symptoms associated with conditions of abnormally high PpIX levels, such as reduced ferrochelatase activity seen in erythropoietic protoporphyria. Finally, additional inhibitors of TrxR1 may be discovered and further characterized based upon the new high-throughput TrxR1 assay presented here. 相似文献

The transplantation program in Bulgaria started in 1968 with renal transplantations to a child and adult woman. In 1986 the
first heart transplantation was performed. To date a total of 10 heart transplants have been performed, including one combined
heart/lung. A liver transplantation program was launched in 2005 with a total number of 16 transplantations—7 from living
donors and 9 from deceased donors. The highest transplantation activity is registered in the field of renal transplantation.
During the period 1980–2006, 462 Bulgarian recipients of kidney were transplanted in Bulgaria. The ratio between transplantations
from deceased and living related donors is approximately 1:0.9. Annual transplantation activity varies among the years from
1 to 12 renal transplantations p.m.p./per year. The 1- (80.7% vs. 63.1%), 5- (57.86% vs. 39.0%) and 10-year (42.65% vs. 23.62%)
graft survival rates are higher for recipients of living donor kidneys compared to those of deceased donor. In 1983 a National
kidney waiting list was established. Currently the number of the registered patients eligible for renal transplantation is
885. The proportion of sensitized patients in the waiting list is 20.45% and 4.34% of them are hyperimmunized. Recently HLAMatchmaker
program has been implemented not only for sensitized patients but also for those with rare alleles and haplotypes. Post-transplant
immunological monitoring showed a strong association between alloantibody presence and delayed graft function (Chi-square = 10.73,
P < 0.001), acute rejection (Chi-square = 14.504, P < 0.001), chronic rejection (Chi-square = 12.84, P < 0.001) and graft loss (Chi-square = 20.283, P < 0.001). Based on the experience in our transplant center a strategy for improvement of long-term renal graft survival was
developed and implemented. 相似文献
