Bombinin-BO1 (BO1), a bombinin peptide derived from the skin secretion of , exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. To date, the anticancer effect of BO1 remains unclear. This study confirmed cytotoxicity of BO1 on hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing S-phase cycle block and apoptosis. In addition, BO1 was found to be localized in cytoplasm through endocytosis. The combined results of pull down, mass spectrometry, and co-immunoprecipitation suggested that BO1 induced misfolding of CDK1 and degradation by competitively binding HSP90A with Cdc37. It was verified that overexpression of HSP90A in BO1-treated cells significantly inhibited degradation of CDK1. , BO1 inhibited tumor without being toxic to individuals. This study reveals the anti-tumor mechanism of BO1 in inducing cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis by interfering with HSP90A-Cdc37-CDK1 system. This is the first study to analyze the mechanism of BO1 regulation of tumor cells, providing theoretical basis for BO1 treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.
蛙皮素-BO1(BO1)是一种源自蛙皮分泌物的蛙皮素肽,具有广谱抗菌活性。迄今为止,BO1的抗癌作用仍不清楚。本研究通过诱导S期周期阻滞和细胞凋亡证实了BO1对肝癌细胞的细胞毒性。此外,发现BO1通过内吞作用定位于细胞质中。下拉实验、质谱分析和免疫共沉淀的综合结果表明,BO1通过与Cdc37竞争性结合HSP90A诱导CDK1错误折叠并降解。证实BO1处理细胞中HSP90A的过表达显著抑制了CDK1的降解。此外,BO1抑制肿瘤且对个体无毒。本研究揭示了BO1通过干扰HSP90A-Cdc37-CDK1系统诱导细胞周期阻滞和细胞凋亡的抗肿瘤机制。这是第一项分析BO1调节肿瘤细胞机制的研究,为BO1治疗肝癌提供了理论依据。
