2-Methoxystypandrone (2-MS), isolated from the roots of Polygonum cuspidatum, is a potent dual inhibitor of the STAT3 and NF-κB pathways.
To investigate the molecular targets and mechanisms of 2-MS.
A biotin-conjugated 2-MS analog, named 2-MS-Biotin, was designed and synthesized. The effects of 2-MS-Biotin on the STAT3 and NF-κB pathways were examined by Western blotting. The cytotoxicity of 2- MS-Biotin was evaluated using real-time cell analysis system. Proteins directly bound to 2-MS-Biotin were pulled down through streptavidin agarose beads and were detected using Western blotting.
2-MS-Biotin retained the inhibition activities of the parent compound 2-MS on the STAT3 and NF-κB pathways as well as on cancer cell growth. Also, JAK2 and IKK proteins can be effectively pulled down by 2- MS-Biotin.
Using 2-MS-Biotin as a tool, both JAK2 and IKK were identified as the targets of 2-MS.
从虎杖根中分离出的2-甲氧基斯替潘酮(2-MS)是一种有效的信号转导和转录激活因子3(STAT3)及核因子κB(NF-κB)通路双重抑制剂。
研究2-MS的分子靶点及作用机制。
设计并合成一种生物素偶联的2-MS类似物,命名为2-MS-生物素。采用蛋白质免疫印迹法检测2-MS-生物素对STAT3和NF-κB通路的影响。使用实时细胞分析系统评估2-MS-生物素的细胞毒性。通过链霉亲和素琼脂糖珠拉下与2-MS-生物素直接结合的蛋白质,并采用蛋白质免疫印迹法进行检测。
2-MS-生物素保留了母体化合物2-MS对STAT3和NF-κB通路以及癌细胞生长的抑制活性。此外,2-MS-生物素能有效拉下Janus激酶2(JAK2)和IκB激酶(IKK)蛋白。
以2-MS-生物素为工具,确定JAK2和IKK均为2-MS的靶点。
