Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play a crucial role in the regulation of cancer progression and have emerged as key targets for antitumor therapy. Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors (HDACis) effectively suppress tumor cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and cause cell cycle arrest, demonstrating broad-spectrum antitumor activity. This article primarily focuses on enhancing the selectivity of HDACis through structural modification using natural compounds.

Background/objectives: Circadian clocks are endogenous systems that regulate numerous biological, physiological, and behavioral events in living organisms. Aging attenuates the precision and robustness of circadian clocks, leading to prolonged and dampened circadian gene oscillation rhythms and amplitudes. This study investigated the effects of food-derived polyphenols such as ellagic acid and its metabolites (urolithin A, B, and C) on the aging clock at the cellular level using senescent human fibroblast cells, TIG-3 cells.

The hydrolysis of proteins by proteases (proteolysis) plays a significant role in biology and food science. Despite the importance of proteolysis, a universal quantitative model of this phenomenon has not yet been created. This review considers approaches to modeling proteolysis in a batch reactor that take into account differences in the hydrolysis of the individual peptide bonds, as well as the limited accessibility (masking) for the enzymes of some hydrolysis sites in the protein substrate.

Many oncoproteins are important therapeutic targets because of their critical role in inducing rapid cell proliferation, which represents one of the salient hallmarks of cancer. Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a cancer of hematopoietic stem cells that is caused by the oncogene BCR-ABL1. BCR-ABL1 encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase protein that leads to the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells, which is a hallmark of CML.

Motivation: Accurately predicting the degradation capabilities of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) for given target proteins and E3 ligases is important for PROTAC design. The distinctive ternary structure of PROTACs presents a challenge to traditional drug-target interaction prediction methods, necessitating more innovative approaches. While current state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods using graph neural networks (GNNs) can discern the molecular structure of PROTACs and proteins, thus enabling the efficient prediction of PROTACs' degradation capabilities, they rely heavily on limited crystal structure data of the POI-PROTAC-E3 ternary complex.
