Small-Molecule Proteomimetic Inhibitors of the HIF-1α–p300 Protein–Protein Interaction

چکیده
The therapeutically relevant hypoxia inducible factor HIF-1α-p300 protein-protein interaction can be orthosterically inhibited with α-helix mimetics based on an oligoamide scaffold that recapitulates essential features of the C-terminal helix of the HIF-1α C-TAD (C-terminal transactivation domain). Preliminary SAR studies demonstrated the important role of side-chain size and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity in determining potency. These small molecules represent the first biophysically characterised HIF-1α-p300 PPI inhibitors and the first examples of small-molecule aromatic oligoamide helix mimetics to be shown to have a selective binding profile. Although the compounds were less potent than HIF-1α, the result is still remarkable in that the mimetic reproduces only three residues from the 42-residue HIF-1α C-TAD from which it is derived.

متن کاملAnticancer osmium complex inhibitors of the HIF-1α and p300 protein-protein interaction
The hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway has been considered to be an attractive anti-cancer target. One strategy to inhibit HIF activity is through the disruption of the HIF-1α-p300 protein-protein interaction. We report herein the identification of an osmium(II) complex as the first metal-based inhibitor of the HIF-1α-p300 interaction. We evaluated the effect of complex 1 on HIF-1α signalin...
متن کاملExploration of the HIF-1α/p300 interface using peptide and Adhiron phage display technologies.
The HIF-1α/p300 protein-protein interaction plays a key role in tumor metabolism and thus represents a high value target for anticancer drug-development. Although several studies have identified inhibitor candidates using rationale design, more detailed understanding of the interaction and binding interface is necessary to inform development of superior inhibitors. In this work, we report a det...

AIMS/INTRODUCTION Given the high prevalence of diabetes and burn injuries worldwide, it is essential to dissect the underlying mechanism of delayed burn wound healing in diabetes patients, especially the high glucose-induced hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1)-mediated transcription defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were cultured with low or high concentrati...
متن کاملInhibition of SIRT1 Impairs the Accumulation and Transcriptional Activity of HIF-1α Protein under Hypoxic Conditions
Sirtuins and hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIF) have well-established roles in regulating cellular responses to metabolic and oxidative stress. Recent reports have linked these two protein families by demonstrating that sirtuins can regulate the activity of HIF-1 and HIF-2. Here we investigated the role of SIRT1, a NAD+-dependent deacetylase, in the regulation of HIF-1 activity in hy...
