[PMID: 38062297 PMCID: PMC11156722 DOI: 10.1007/s10555-023-10159-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
The HOXA9 transcription factor serves as a molecular orchestrator in cancer stemness, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), metastasis, and generation of the tumor microenvironment in hematological and solid malignancies. However, the multiple modes of regulation, multifaceted functions, and context-dependent interactions responsible for the dual role of HOXA9 as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in cancer remain obscure. Hence, unravelling its molecular complexities, binding partners, and interacting signaling molecules enables us to comprehend HOXA9-mediated transcriptional programs and molecular crosstalk. However, it is imperative to understand its central role in fundamental biological processes such as embryogenesis, foetus implantation, hematopoiesis, endothelial cell proliferation, and tissue homeostasis before designing targeted therapies. Indeed, it presents an enormous challenge for clinicians to selectively target its oncogenic functions or restore tumor-suppressive role without altering normal cellular functions. In addition to its implications in cancer, the present review also focuses on the clinical applications of HOXA9 in recurrence and drug resistance, which may provide a broader understanding beyond oncology, open new avenues for clinicians for accurate diagnoses, and develop personalized treatment strategies. Furthermore, we have also discussed the existing therapeutic options and accompanying challenges in HOXA9-targeted therapies in different cancer types.

Abstract
A novel method for the enantioselective synthesis of spiro N,N-heterocyclic oxindoles has been developed, employing asymmetric [4 + 2]-cycloadditions of 2-aminophenyl enones with isatin-derived ketimines. This method employs an organocatalytic approach, utilizing a bifunctional squaramide-based catalyst. It enables the precise synthesis of chiral spirooxindole-tetrahydroquinazolines with intricate structures, featuring chiral quaternary centers. This process achieves remarkable results, including high yields and exceptional levels of enantioselectivity and diastereoselectivity (up to 96% yield, 95% ee, and >20:1 dr).

Abstract
Nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3 (NSD3) has recently been recognized as a new epigenetic target in the fight against cancer. NSD3, which is amplified, overexpressed or mutated in a variety of tumors, promotes tumor development by regulating the cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA repair and EMT. Therefore, the inhibition, silencing or knockdown of NSD3 are highly promising antitumor strategies. This paper summarizes the structure and biological functions of NSD3 with an emphasis on its carcinogenic or cancer-promoting activity. The development of NSD3-specific inhibitors or degraders is also discussed and reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an enzyme that removes lysine methylation marks from nucleosome histone tails and plays an important role in cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and recurrence. Recent research shows that LSD1 regulates tumor cells and immune cells through multiple upstream and downstream pathways, enabling tumor cells to adapt to the tumor microenvironment (TME). As a potential anti-tumor treatment strategy, immunotherapy has developed rapidly in the past few years. However, most patients have a low response rate to available immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), including anti-PD-(L)1 therapy and CAR-T cell therapy, due to a broad array of immunosuppressive mechanisms. Notably, inhibition of LSD1 turns "cold tumors" into "hot tumors" and subsequently enhances tumor cell sensitivity to ICIs. This review focuses on recent advances in LSD1 and tumor immunity and discusses a potential therapeutic strategy for combining LSD1 inhibition with immunotherapy.

Abstract
Histone lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is a promising target for cancer therapy. Here, we performed the design, synthesis, and extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies based on our previously discovered natural LSD1 inhibitor, higenamine. We found that the tetracyclic tetrahydroisoquinoline FY-21 is a potent and selective inhibitor of LSD1 (IC50 = 340 nM). FY-21 inhibited leukemia cell proliferation and colony formation and increased the level of p53 expression. Meanwhile, FY-21 reduced the mRNA levels of the transcription factors HOXA9 and MEIS1. Furthermore, FY-21 significantly induced leukemia cell differentiation. In vivo studies showed that FY-21 prolonged the survival rate of leukemia mice. Collectively, FY-21 is a potent, selective LSD1 inhibitor and can serve as a lead compound for the development of novel and highly effective LSD1 inhibitors for AML treatment.

Discovery of novel N-benzylarylamide-dithiocarbamate based derivatives as dual inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and LSD1 that inhibit gastric cancers. Eur J Med Chem 2023; 252:115281. [PMID: 36940611 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2023] [Indexed: 03/17/2023]
Abstract
In this work, N-benzylarylamide-dithiocarbamate based derivatives were designed, synthesized, and their biological activities as anticancer agents were explored. Some of the 33 target compounds displayed significant antiproliferative activities with IC50 values at the double-digit nanomolar level. The representative compound I-25 (also named MY-943) not only showed the most effective inhibitory effects on three selected cancer cells MGC-803 (IC50 = 0.017 μM), HCT-116 (IC50 = 0.044 μM) and KYSE450 (IC50 = 0.030 μM), but also exhibited low nanomolar IC50 values from 0.019 to 0.253 μM against the other 11 cancer cells. Compound I-25 (MY-943) effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization and suppressed LSD1 at the enzymatic levels. Compound I-25 (MY-943) could act on the colchicine binding site of β-tubulin, thus disrupting the construction of cell microtubule network and affecting the mitosis. In addition, compound I-25 (MY-943) could dose-dependently induce the accumulation of H3K4me1/2 (MGC-803 and SGC-7091 cells) and H3K9me2 (SGC-7091 cells). Compound I-25 (MY-943) could induce G2/M phase arrest and cell apoptosis, and suppress migration in MGC-803 and SGC-7901 cells. In addition, compound I-25 (MY-943) significantly modulated the expression of apoptosis- and cycle-related proteins. Furthermore, the binding modes of compound I-25 (MY-943) with tubulin and LSD1 were explored by molecular docking. The results of in vivo anti-gastric cancer assays using in situ tumor models showed that compound I-25 (MY-943) effectively reduced the weight and volume of gastric cancer in vivo without obvious toxicity. All these findings suggested that the N-benzylarylamide-dithiocarbamate based derivative I-25 (MY-943) was an effective dual inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and LSD1 that inhibited gastric cancers.

Abstract
Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A) dysregulation is closely associated with the pathological processes of various diseases, especially hematologic malignancies. Significant progresses have been made in the field of LSD1-targeted drug discovery. Nine LSD1 inhibitors including tranylcypromine, ORY-1001, ORY-2001, GSK-2879552, IMG-7289, INCB059872, TAK-418, CC-90011 and SP-2577 have entered clinical stage for disease treatment as either mono- or combinational therapy. This review updates LSD1 inhibitors reported during 2022. Design strategies, structure-activity relationship studies, binding model analysis and modes of action are highlighted. In particular, the unique multiple-copies binding mode of quinazoline derivatives paves new ways for the development of reversible LSD1 inhibitors by blocking the substrate entrance. The design strategy of clinical candidate TAK-418 also provides directions for further optimization of novel irreversible LSD1 inhibitors with low hematological side effects. The influence of the stereochemistry on the potency against LSD1 and its homolog LSD2 is briefly discussed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of LSD1-targeted drug discovery are also given.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, novel hallmarks of cancer have been described, including the altered epigenetic landscape of malignant diseases. In addition to the methylation and hyd-roxymethylation of DNA, numerous novel forms of histone modifications and nucleosome remodeling have been discovered, giving rise to a wide variety of targeted therapeutic interventions. DNA hypomethylating drugs, histone deacetylase inhibitors and agents targeting histone methylation machinery are of distinguished clinical significance. The major focus of this review is placed on targeted epigenetic interventions in the most common pediatric malignancies, including acute leukemias, brain and kidney tumors, neuroblastoma and soft tissue sarcomas. Upcoming novel challenges include specificity and potential undesirable side effects. Different epigenetic patterns of pediatric and adult cancers should be noted. Biological significance of epigenetic alterations highly depends on the tissue microenvironment and widespread interactions. An individualized treatment approach requires detailed genetic, epigenetic and metabolomic evaluation of cancer. Advances in molecular technologies and clinical translation may contribute to the development of novel pediatric anticancer treatment strategies, aiming for improved survival and better patient quality of life.

Abstract
Spirocyclic frameworks have attracted synthetic practitioners due to their unique three-dimensional assembly, improved metabolic stability, solubility, and increased molecular complexity with regard to planar architectures. A recent surge in the number of spirocyclic oxindoles inhibiting enzymes, moderating unique protein-protein interactions, modulating receptors and transporters is testament to their prevalence. Against this background, the construction of spirocyclic frameworks containing an oxindole moiety as a torsional switch via stereoselective methods is in great demand. Herein we present a summary of the past three years in the progress of metal, organic molecule, nanostructured particle mediated, and even uncatalyzed versions of the highly diastereo- and enantioselective pathways leading to oxindole spirocycles.

Abstract
Epigenetics has emerged as a prime focus area in the field of cancer research. Lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1), the first discovered histone demethylase, is mainly responsible for catalysing demethylation of histone 3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and H3K9 to activate or inhibit gene transcription. LSD1 is abnormally expressed in various cancers and participates in cancer proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, invasion, drug resistance and other processes by interacting with regulatory factors. Therefore, it may serve as a potential therapeutic target for cancer. This review summarises the major oncogenic mechanisms mediated by LSD1 and provides a reference for developing novel and efficient anticancer strategies targeting LSD1.
