Abstract

Ionizing radiation can induce different types of DNA lesions, leading to genomic instability and ultimately cell death. Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, a major modality in cancer treatment, harnesses the genotoxic potential of radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. Nevertheless, cancer cells have the capacity to develop resistance to radiation treatment (radioresistance), which poses a major obstacle in the effective management of cancer. It has been shown that administration of platinum-based drugs to cancer patients can increase tumor radiosensitivity, but despite this, it is associated with severe adverse effects. Several lines of evidence support that activation of the DNA damage response and repair machinery in the irradiated cancer cells enhances radioresistance and cellular survival through the efficient repair of DNA lesions. Therefore, targeting of key DNA damage repair factors would render cancer cells vulnerable to the irradiation effects, increase cancer cell killing, and reduce the risk of side effects on healthy tissue. Herein, we have employed a computer-aided drug design approach for generating ab initio a chemical compound with drug-like properties potentially targeting two proteins implicated in multiple DNA repair pathways. The findings of this study could be taken into consideration in clinical decision-making in terms of co-administering radiation with DNA damage repair factor-based drugs.

摘要

电离辐射会导致不同类型的 DNA 损伤,导致基因组不稳定,最终导致细胞死亡。放射疗法是癌症治疗的主要方式之一,利用辐射的遗传毒性潜力来靶向和破坏癌细胞。然而,癌细胞有能力对放射治疗产生抵抗(放射抗性),这是癌症有效治疗的主要障碍。已经表明,向癌症患者施用铂类药物可以提高肿瘤对辐射的敏感性,但尽管如此,它还是与严重的不良反应有关。有几条证据表明,在受照射的癌细胞中激活 DNA 损伤反应和修复机制,通过有效修复 DNA 损伤来增强放射抗性和细胞存活。因此,针对关键的 DNA 损伤修复因子将使癌细胞容易受到辐射的影响,增加癌细胞的杀伤,并降低对健康组织的副作用的风险。在此,我们采用了一种基于计算机的药物设计方法,从头开始生成一种具有潜在靶向两种蛋白质的药物特性的化学化合物,这两种蛋白质涉及多种 DNA 修复途径。本研究的结果可以在临床决策中考虑,即与基于 DNA 损伤修复因子的药物联合使用放射治疗。
