Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) are the class of dephosphorylation enzymes that catalyze the removal of phosphate groups from tyrosine residues on proteins responsible for various cellular processes. Any disbalance in signal pathways mediated by PTPs leads to various disease conditions like diabetes, obesity, cancers, and autoimmune disorders. Amongst the PTP superfamily, PTP1B, SHP2, Cdc25, and LMW-PTP have been prioritized as druggable targets for developing medicinal agents. PTP1B is an intracellular PTP enzyme that downregulates insulin and leptin signaling pathways and is involved in insulin resistance and glucose homeostasis. SHP2 is involved in the RAS-MAPK pathway and T cell immunity. Cdk-cyclin complex activation occurs by Cdc25-PTPs involved in cell cycle regulation. LMW-PTPs are involved in PDGF/PDGFR, Eph/ephrin, and insulin signaling pathways, resulting in certain diseases like diabetes mellitus, obesity, and cancer. The signaling cascades of PTP1B, SHP2, Cdc25, and LMW-PTPs have been described to rationalize their medicinal importance in the pathophysiology of diabetes, obesity, and cancer. Their binding sites have been explored to overcome the hurdles in discovering target selective molecules with optimum potency. Recent developments in the synthetic molecules bearing heterocyclic moieties against these targets have been explored to gain insight into structural features. The elaborated SAR investigation revealed the effect of substituents on the potency and target selectivity, which can be implicated in the further discovery of newer medicinal agents targeting the druggable members of the PTP superfamily.

Inácio Â, Aguiar L, Rodrigues B, Pires P, Ferreira J, Matos A, Mendonça I, Rosa R, Bicho M, Medeiros R, Bicho MC. Genetic Modulation of HPV Infection and Cervical Lesions: Role of Oxidative Stress-Related Genes. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1806. [PMID: 37891885 PMCID: PMC10604255 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12101806] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a necessary but not sufficient factor for the development of invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and high-grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Oxidative stress is known to play a crucial role in HPV infection and carcinogenesis. In this study, we comprehensively investigate the modulation of HPV infection, HSIL and ICC, and ICC through an exploration of oxidative stress-related genes: CβS, MTHFR, NOS3, ACE1, CYBA, HAP, ACP1, GSTT1, GSTM1, and CYP1A1. Notably, the ACE1 gene emerges as a prominent factor with the presence of the I allele offering protection against HPV infection. The association of NOS3 with HPV infection is perceived with the 4a allele showing a protective effect. The presence of the GSTT1 null mutant correlates with increased susceptibility to HPV infection, HSIL and ICC, and ICC. This study also uncovers intriguing epistatic interactions among some of the genes that further accentuate their roles in disease modulation. Indeed, the epistatic interactions between the BB genotype (ACP1) and DD genotype (ECA1) were shown to increase the risk of HPV infection, and the interaction between BB (ACP1) and 0.0 (GSTT1) was associated with HPV infection and cervical lesions. These findings underscore the pivotal role of four oxidative stress-related genes in HPV-associated cervical lesions and cancer development, enriching our clinical understanding of the genetic influences on disease manifestation. The awareness of these genetic variations holds potential clinical implications.

Drug Des Devel Ther 2023; 17:1191-1201. [PMID: 37113468 PMCID: PMC10128076 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s406956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play an essential way in diseases including cancer, obesity, diabetes and autoimmune disorders. As a member of PTPs, low molecular weight PTP (LMPTP) has been a well-recognized anti-insulin resistance target in obesity. However, the number of reported LMPTP inhibitors is limited. Our research aims to discover a novel LMPTP inhibitor and evaluate its biological activity against insulin resistance. Methods A virtual screening pipeline based on the X-ray co-crystal complex of LMPTP was constructed. Enzyme inhibition assay and cellular bioassay were used to evaluate the activity of screened compounds. Results The screening pipeline rendered 15 potential hits from Specs chemical library. Enzyme inhibition assay identified compound F9 (AN-465/41163730) as a potential LMPTP inhibitor with a K i value of 21.5 ± 7.3 μM. Cellular bioassay showed F9 could effectively increase the glucose consumption of HepG2 cells as a result of releasing insulin resistance by regulating PI3K-Akt pathway. Conclusion In summary, this study presents a versatile virtual screening pipeline for potential LMPTP inhibitor discovery and provides a novel-scaffold lead compound that is worthy of further modification to get more potent LMPTP inhibitors.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) have an emerging paradigm for the development of antidiabetic drugs. Herein, we provide a comprehensive overview of the relevance of PTPs to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the therapeutic opportunities thereof, while critically evaluating the potential challenges for PTP inhibitors to be next generation antidiabetics. This review briefly discusses the structure and function of PTPs. An account of importance and relevance of PTPs in various human diseases is presented with special attention to diabetes. The PTPs relevant to T2D have been targeted by small molecule inhibitors such as natural products and synthetic compounds as well as antisense nucleic acids. This review will give better understanding of the important concepts helpful in outlining the strategies for the development of new therapeutic agents with promising antidiabetic activities.
