High-throughput drug screen identifies chelerythrine as a selective inducer of death in a TSC2-null setting.
UNLABELLED Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant syndrome associated with tumors of the brain, heart, kidney, and lung. The TSC protein complex inhibits the mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Inhibitors of mTORC1, including rapamycin, induce a cytostatic response in TSC tumors, resulting in temporary disease stabilization and prompt regrowth whe...
متن کاملA high throughput proteomics screen identifies novel substrates of death-associated protein kinase.
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPk) is a Ser/Thr kinase whose activity is necessary for different cell death phenotypes. Although its contribution to cell death is well established, only a handful of direct substrates have been identified; these do not fully account for the multiple cellular effects of DAPk. To identify such substrates on a large scale, we developed an in vitro, unbiased, pr...
متن کاملA High Throughput Screen Identifies Potent and Selective Inhibitors to Human Epithelial 15-Lipoxygenase-2
Lipoxygenase (LOX) enzymes catalyze the hydroperoxidation of arachidonic acid and other polyunsaturated fatty acids to hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids with varying positional specificity to yield important biological signaling molecules. Human epithelial 15-lipoxygenase-2 (15-LOX-2) is a highly specific LOX isozyme that is expressed in epithelial tissue and whose activity has been correlated with...
متن کاملA high-throughput phenotypic screen identifies clofazimine as a potential treatment for cryptosporidiosis
Cryptosporidiosis has emerged as a leading cause of non-viral diarrhea in children under five years of age in the developing world, yet the current standard of care to treat Cryptosporidium infections, nitazoxanide, demonstrates limited and immune-dependent efficacy. Given the lack of treatments with universal efficacy, drug discovery efforts against cryptosporidiosis are necessary to find ther...
متن کاملHigh-throughput screen identifies disulfiram as a potential therapeutic for triple-negative breast cancer cells
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents an aggressive subtype, for which radiation and chemotherapy are the only options. Here we describe the identification of disulfiram, an FDA-approved drug used to treat alcoholism, as well as the related compound thiram, as the most potent growth inhibitors following high-throughput screens of 3185 compounds against multiple TNBC cell lines. The av...
