Abstract

Breast cancer is a complex disease primarily driven by genetic mutations that disrupt crucial signaling pathways, with the AKT1 gene playing a central role in its progression. This study explores the impact of AKT1 mutations using Whole Exome Sequencing (WES), bioinformatics, and computational modeling. Using WES, we identified and prioritized significant mutations in patient samples, specifically D3N, V337M, and D3N-E169G. Comprehensive sequence and structural analyses were conducted to understand how these mutations affect specific functional domains of the AKT1 protein. To investigate the molecular consequences, molecular docking studies were performed to assess the binding affinity of AKT1 mutations with MK2206, a known allosteric inhibitor of AKT1. The docking results revealed substantial differences in interaction energies, indicating impaired inhibitor binding due to these mutations. Additionally, molecular dynamics simulations over a 500-nanosecond trajectory provided detailed insights into the structural perturbations caused by these mutations. This integrated study, combining genomic and computational approaches, offers a comprehensive understanding of how AKT1 mutations contribute to BC pathogenesis. These findings enhance our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease and support the development of targeted therapies to address the altered behavior of mutated AKT1, advancing personalized treatment strategies for BC.

摘要

乳腺癌是一种复杂的疾病,主要由破坏关键信号通路的基因突变驱动,其中AKT1基因在其进展中起核心作用。本研究利用全外显子组测序(WES)、生物信息学和计算建模来探索AKT1突变的影响。通过WES,我们在患者样本中鉴定并确定了显著的突变,特别是D3N、V337M和D3N-E169G。进行了全面的序列和结构分析,以了解这些突变如何影响AKT1蛋白的特定功能域。为了研究分子后果,进行了分子对接研究,以评估AKT1突变与MK2206(一种已知的AKT1变构抑制剂)的结合亲和力。对接结果显示相互作用能量存在显著差异,表明这些突变导致抑制剂结合受损。此外,在500纳秒轨迹上进行的分子动力学模拟提供了这些突变引起的结构扰动的详细见解。这项结合基因组学和计算方法的综合研究,全面了解了AKT1突变如何促进乳腺癌发病机制。这些发现增强了我们对该疾病潜在分子机制的认识,并支持开发靶向疗法来应对突变的AKT1的改变行为,推进乳腺癌的个性化治疗策略。
