This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of rebeccamycin analog and oxaliplatin in treating patients with refractory solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as rebeccamycin analog and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

GOLDBAR: A Framework for Combinatorial Biological Design

Article

Author: Gordon, D. Benjamin ; Gould, Dany ; Akavoor, Vidya ; Roehner, Nicholas ; Densmore, Douglas ; Qin, Lucy ; Voigt, Christopher ; Roberts, James ; Lapets, Andrei

With the rise of new DNA part libraries and technologies for assembling DNA, synthetic biologists are increasingly constructing and screening combinatorial libraries to optimize their biological designs. As combinatorial libraries are used to generate data on design performance, new rules for composing biological designs will emerge. Most formal frameworks for combinatorial design, however, do not yet support formal comparison of design composition, which is needed to facilitate automated analysis and machine learning in massive biological design spaces. To address this need, we introduce a combinatorial design framework called GOLDBAR. Compared with existing frameworks, GOLDBAR enables synthetic biologists to intersect and merge the rules for entire classes of biological designs to extract common design motifs and infer new ones. Here, we demonstrate the application of GOLDBAR to refine/validate design spaces for TetR-homologue transcriptional logic circuits, verify the assembly of a partial nif gene cluster, and infer novel gene clusters for the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin. We also discuss how GOLDBAR could be used to facilitate grammar-based machine learning in synthetic biology.

Molecular Dynamics and Multi-Spectroscopic of the Interaction Behavior between Bladder Cancer Cells and Calf Thymus DNA with Rebeccamycin: Apoptosis through the Down Regulation of PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

The interaction of Rebeccamycin with calf thymus (ctDNA) in the absence and presence of H1 was investigated by molecular dynamics, multi-spectroscopic, and cellular techniques. According to fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopies, Rebeccamycin interacted with ctDNA in the absence of H1 through intercalator or binding modes, while the presence of H1 resulted in revealing theintercalator, as the dominant role, and groove binding modes of ctDNA-Rebeccamycin complex. The binding constants, which were calculated to be 1.22 × 10⁴ M^-1 and 7.92 × 10⁵ M^-1 in the absence and presence of H1, respectively, denoted the strong binding of Rebeccamycin with ctDNA. The binding constants of Rebeccamycin with ct DNA in the absence and presence of H1 were calculated at 298, 303 and 308 K. Considering the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰), both vander waals forces and hydrogen bonds played predominant roles throughout the binding of Rebeccamycin to ctDNA in the absence and presence of H1. The outcomes of circular dichroism suggested the lack of any major conformational changes in ctDNA upon interacting with Rebeccamycin, except some perturbations in native B-DNA at local level. Additionally, the effect of NaCl and KI on ctDNA-Rebeccamycin complex provided further evidence for the reliance of their interaction modes on substituted groups. The observed increase in the relative viscosity of ctDNA caused by the enhancement of Rebeccamycin confirmed their intercalation and groove binding modes in the absence and presence of H1. Moreover, the assessments of molecular docking simulation corroborated these experimental results and also elucidated the effectiveness of Rebeccamycinin inhibiting and proliferating T24 and 5637 cells. Meanwhile, the ability of Rebeccamycin in inhibiting cell proliferation and tumor growth through the induction of apoptosis by down regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway were provided.

AbstractObjectivesEnrichment for therapy-resistant cancer stem cells hampers the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer. Targeting these cells via suppression of Notch signalling can be a potential therapeutic strategy. This study aimed to uncover the mode of action of a new indolocarbazole alkaloid loonamycin A against this incurable disease.MethodsThe anticancer effects were examined in triple-negative breast cancer cells using in vitro methods, including cell viability and proliferation assays, wound-healing assay, flow cytometry and mammosphere formation assay. RNA-seq technology was used to analyse the gene expression profiles in loonamycin A-treated cells. Real-time RT-PCR and western blot were to evaluate the inhibition of Notch signalling.Key findingsLoonamycin A has stronger cytotoxicity than its structural analog rebeccamycin. Besides inhibiting cell proliferation and migration, loonamycin A reduced CD44high/CD24low/− sub-population, mammosphere formation, as well as the expression of stemness-associated genes. Co-administration of loonamycin A enhanced antitumour effects of paclitaxel by inducing apoptosis. RNA sequencing results showed that loonamycin A treatment caused the inhibition of Notch signalling, accompanied by the decreased expression of Notch1 and its targeted genes.ConclusionsThese results reveal a novel bioactivity of indolocarbazole-type alkaloids and provide a promising Notch-inhibiting small molecular candidate for triple-negative breast cancer therapy.
