Culturable Streptomyces spp. from high-altitude, oligotrophic North Western Himalaya: a comprehensive study on the diversity, bioactivity and insights into the proteome of potential species. FEMS Microbiol Ecol 2024; 100:fiae026. [PMID: 38439700 PMCID: PMC10950047 DOI: 10.1093/femsec/fiae026] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
The increasing global concern of antimicrobial resistance and shortage of new antimicrobials necessitates exploring untapped terrestrial environments for new bioactive microbiome diversity. The low-temperature and oligotrophic North Western Himalaya (NWH) region has a vast diversity of Streptomyces with potential antimicrobial properties that remain largely unexplored. This study evaluates the diversity of culturable Streptomyces from high-altitude NWH and their potential as a source of new antimicrobials through genus-specific isolation and identification. The results demonstrate a distinct phylogenetic clustering of Streptomyces from different sampling regions of NWH, site-specific variation in culturable β-diversity and species commonness with varying intersite bioactivity among different sites. Further, the study optimized the media selection for large-scale culture cultivation in antibiotic production processes and demonstrated the antimicrobial efficacy of Streptomyces against a range of pathogens through in vitro bioassays using minimum inhibitory concentration determination and antibiofilm activity. Untargeted label-free proteomic profiling also revealed variable expression of stress-response proteins and antibiotic regulators as a competitive survival strategy for selective antagonistic Streptomyces. The findings highlight the potential of NWH in augmenting antimicrobial discovery and combating antimicrobial resistance through the isolation and study of novel bioactive Streptomyces.

Abstract
The disclosed study reveals isolation, characterization and anticancer evaluation of Rumex dentatus. The extracts and isolated compounds were used for cytotoxic activity against (lung (A549), pancreatic (MIAPaCa), colon (HCT-116), breast (MDA-MB-231) and breast (MDA-MB-468) cell lines. The extracts were screened for cytotoxicity using MTT colorimetric assay. Out of all extracts, methanolic (30) %: chloroform fraction (TAW6) with 75.01% inhibition at a concentration 100 µg/mL was observed. The selected extracts were further processed for column chromatography and led to isolation of seven compounds (A to G). The structural determination of isolated compounds was carried out using 1HNMR, 13CNMR, IR and HRMS. All the isolates were tested for cytotoxic activity and compound B was found most active with IC50 values 11.29 µg against HCT-116 (Colon). The compound B was then used for detailed study via transwell invasion assay and wound healing assay. Thus the significant anticancer activity particularly against colon cancerous cell lines recommends that the (Rumex dentatus) could act as a potential drug candidate for cancer, more particularly for colon cancer.

Dinactin: A New Antitumor Antibiotic with Cell Cycle Progression and Cancer Stemness Inhibiting Activities in Lung Cancer. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11121845. [PMID: 36551502 PMCID: PMC9774622 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11121845] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is one of the most complex diseases, despite the existence of effective treatments such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Since cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for chemo- and radio-resistance, metastasis, and cancer recurrence, finding new therapeutic targets for CSCs is critical. Dinactin is a natural secondary metabolite produced by microorganisms. Recently, dinactin has been revealed as a promising antitumor antibiotic via various mechanisms. However, the evidence relating to cell cycle progression regulation is constrained, and effects on cancer stemness have not been elucidated. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the new function of dinactin in anti-NSCLC proliferation, focusing on cell cycle progression and cancer stemness properties in Lu99 and A549 cells. Flow cytometry and immunoblotting analyses revealed that 0.1-1 µM of dinactin suppresses cell growth through induction of the G0/G1 phase associated with down-regulation of cyclins A, B, and D3, and cdk2 protein expression. The tumor-sphere forming capacity was used to assess the effect of dinactin on the cancer stemness potential in NSCLC cells. At a concentration of 1 nM, dinactin reduced both the number and size of the tumor-spheres. The quantitative RT-PCR analyses indicated that dinactin suppressed sphere formation by significantly reducing expression of CSC markers (i.e., ALDH1A1, Nanog, Oct4, and Sox2) in Lu99 cells. Consequently, dinactin could be a promising strategy for NSCLC therapy targeting CSCs.

Abstract
Cancer and Neurodegenerative diseases are one of the most dreadful diseases to cure and chemotherapy has found a prime place in cancerous treatments while as different strategies have been tested in neurodegenerative diseases as well. However, due to adverse shortcomings like the resistance of cancerous cells and inefficiency in neurodegenerative disease, plant sources have always found a prime importance in medicinal use for decades, Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (W. somnifera) is a well-known plant with medicinal use reported for centuries. It is commonly known as winter cherry or ashwagandha and is a prime source of pharmaceutically active compounds withanolides. In recent years research is being carried in understanding the extensive role of W. somnifera in cancer and neurological disorders. W. somnifera has been reported to be beneficial in DNA repair mechanisms; it is known for its cellular repairing properties and helps to prevent the apoptosis of normal cells. This review summarizes the potential properties and medicinal benefits of W. somnifera especially in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Available data suggest that W. somnifera is effective in controlling disease progressions and could be a potential therapeutic target benefiting human health status. The current review also discusses the traditional medicinal applications of W. somnifera, the experimental evidence supporting its therapeutical potential as well as obstacles that necessitate being overcome for W. somnifera to be evaluated as a curative agent in humans.

Abstract
The wingless-related integration site (Wnt) signaling pathway plays an essential role in embryonic development and nervous system regulation. It is critically involved in multiple types of neuropathic pain (NP), such as HIV-related NP, cancer pain, diabetic neuralgia, multiple sclerosis-related NP, endometriosis pain, and other painful diseases. Wnt signaling is also implicated in the pain induced by sciatic nerve compression injury and selective spinal nerve ligation. Thus, the Wnt signaling pathway may be a potential therapeutic target for NP.

Anti-Tumor Effects of Carrimycin and Monomeric Isovalerylspiramycin I on Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Vitro and in Vivo. Front Pharmacol 2021; 12:774231.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma results in a high risk of second primary malignancies and has prominent morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of effective treatment and prognosis is poor. Therefore, effective drugs need to be discovered. Carrimycin is a 16-member macrolide antibiotic with anticancer activity, and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I is a main component. The aim of this study was to determine the anti-tumor effects of carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I on hepatocellular carcinoma through in vivo and in vitro experiments. In vitro, changes in cellular proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis were analyzed by MTT, colony formation, EdU labeling, wound-healing, matrigel transwell invasion, and flow cytometric assays using SK-Hep1, Hep3B, SNU-354, SNU-387 hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Western blotting and RT-PCR were used to detect the effects of carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I on the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Nude mice were subcutaneously transplanted with SK-Hep1 cells or C57BL/6J mice were orthotopically transplanted with hepatocarcinoma H22 cells. Tumor volume, pathological changes in tumor tissues, and the concentration of VEGF in mouse serum were measured after treatments. Carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I dose-dependently inhibited hepatocellular carcinoma cell viability, colony formation, and DNA replication. These agents markedly suppressed migration and invasion and promoted apoptosis of the cell lines. Western blotting and RT-PCR demonstrated that carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I reduced VEGF and PD-L1 protein and mRNA levels in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo studies further confirmed that carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I could significantly inhibit tumor growth, tumor histopathological alterations, and the concentration of VEGF in both mouse tumor models. These results show that carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I promoted apoptosis and inhibited proliferation, migration, and invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Therefore, our discovery suggests anti-tumor capacity for carrimycin and monomeric isovalerylspiramycin I and provides data on potential new drugs for inhibiting hepatocellular carcinoma.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor. Although nowadays 5-year survival rates can reach up to 60–70%, acute complications and late effects of osteosarcoma therapy are two of the limiting factors in treatments. We developed a multi-objective algorithm for the repurposing of new anti-osteosarcoma drugs, based on the modeling of molecules with described activity for HOS, MG63, SAOS2, and U2OS cell lines in the ChEMBL database. Several predictive models were obtained for each cell line and those with accuracy greater than 0.8 were integrated into a desirability function for the final multi-objective model. An exhaustive exploration of model combinations was carried out to obtain the best multi-objective model in virtual screening. For the top 1% of the screened list, the final model showed a BEDROC = 0.562, EF = 27.6, and AUC = 0.653. The repositioning was performed on 2218 molecules described in DrugBank. Within the top-ranked drugs, we found: temsirolimus, paclitaxel, sirolimus, everolimus, and cabazitaxel, which are antineoplastic drugs described in clinical trials for cancer in general. Interestingly, we found several broad-spectrum antibiotics and antiretroviral agents. This powerful model predicts several drugs that should be studied in depth to find new chemotherapy regimens and to propose new strategies for osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a main cause of rubber anthracnose, which results in very large losses for the natural rubber industry. In this study, an actinomycete strain gz-8 was isolated and had strong antagonistic activity against C. gloeosporioides, with an inhibition rate of 72.5 %. Strain gz-8 was identified as Streptomyces badius. Three active compounds were separated from S. badius gz-8 and identified as feigrisolide B, feigrisolide C and dinactin according to the mass spectrometry and NMR-spectra results. In the three compounds, dinactin exhibited the best antifungal activity against C. gloeosporioides, with an EC50 value of 2.55 μg/mL, and its minimum inhibitory concentration was 44 μg/mL. Dinactin had broad inhibitory activities against nine other pathogenic fungi, and it also had an obvious control effect on rubber anthracnose comparable to that of chlorothalonil. Dinactin could inhibit the conidiogenesis and spore germination of C. gloeosporioides. This report will contribute to understanding the antifungal activity of dinactin against C. gloeosporioides.

Abstract
The mutations and deregulation of Wnt signaling pathway occur commonly in human cancer and cause the aberrant activation of β-catenin and β-catenin-dependent transcription, thus contributing to cancer development and progression. Therefore, β-catenin has been demonstrated as a promising target for cancer prevention and therapy. Many natural products have been characterized as inhibitors of the β-catenin signaling through down-regulating β-catenin expression, modulating its phosphorylation, promoting its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, inhibiting its nuclear translocation, or other molecular mechanisms. These natural product inhibitors have shown preventive and therapeutic efficacy in various cancer models in vitro and in vivo. In the present review, we comprehensively discuss the natural product β-catenin inhibitors, their in vitro and in vivo anticancer activities, and underlying molecular mechanisms. We also discuss the current β-catenin-targeting strategies and other potential strategies that may be examined for identifying new β-catenin inhibitors as cancer preventive and therapeutic drugs.
