Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bioengineering, and in particular to application of a DCUN1D5 expression inhibitor in the preparation of a cisplatin-resistant osteosarcoma drug. Background Art
[0002] Osteosarcoma is a common bone tumor that shows significant heterogeneity in patients' clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. This heterogeneity complicates treatment decisions and has a profound impact on patients' survival and quality of life. Notably, recurrence is often the main determinant of osteosarcoma prognosis and remains a serious problem. An emerging challenge in osteosarcoma management is drug resistance, which has attracted increasing attention in medical research. Numerous studies have confirmed the close connection between osteoclast overactivation, drug resistance and recurrence. Osteoclasts play a key role in the tumor immune microenvironment, and any increase in their activity can significantly alter the tumor's response to treatment.
[0003] Understanding the mechanisms of tumor development and progression is crucial. Ubiquitination is closely linked to apoptosis, proliferation, stem cell identity, and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment. E3 ubiquitin ligases (E3s) play a key role in this process, and their dysfunction can directly contribute to tumor development and progression. Therefore, E3s represent a promising therapeutic target and hold significant significance.
[0004] Standard treatment for osteosarcoma typically includes a multimodal treatment strategy, primarily involving surgical resection of the tumor, conventional chemotherapy, and sometimes radiotherapy. Among these numerous treatment options, cisplatin continues to play a key role in osteosarcoma treatment. Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapy drug for the treatment of various cancers. However, cisplatin resistance has been a long-standing challenge in osteosarcoma.
[0005] Natural products from traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are considered a promising source of novel small molecule therapeutics due to their broad bioactivity, low toxicity, and multi-target properties. Many natural compounds from herbal plants exhibit anticancer effects, including inhibiting proliferation, inducing apoptosis, preventing metastasis, and inhibiting angiogenesis. Furthermore, these compounds can regulate autophagy, overcome multidrug resistance, modulate immune balance, and enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy in vitro and in vivo. Physalis A is an active ingredient in the traditional Chinese medicine Lycium barbarum. Studies have shown that physalis A exhibits diverse biological activities, including anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antiviral effects. Summary of the Invention

[0054] 8. Molecular Docking Analysis and Molecular Dynamics
[0055] The crystal structures of key target proteins were obtained from the SWISS-MODEL Protein Data Bank (https: / / swissmodel.expasy.org / ) and deposited in PDB format. Drug structures were obtained in sdf format from PubChem (https: / / pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / ) and converted to mol2 format using the Open Babel GUI software. Protein conformations were adjusted using PyMOL and AutoDock4, including removal of water molecules, addition of nonpolar hydrogen atoms, calculation of protein charges, identification of rotatable bonds in the ligand, and export in PDBQT format. Docking parameters were configured based on the dimensions of the receptor and ligand. Molecular docking was performed using AutoDock4, and the results were visualized using PyMOL. A threshold of less than -2.0 kcal / mol was selected for binding energy. The Desmond module of Schrodinger 2019 software was used for the simulation of water molecules. Appropriate amounts of chloride / sodium ions were added and randomly placed in the solution to neutralize the system charge. After constructing the dissolved system, energy minimization was performed using the default protocol integrated with the Desmond module (using the OPLS2005 force field parameters). Nose-Hoover temperature coupling and isotropic scaling were used to maintain the temperature and pressure at 300 K and 1 atm, respectively. NPT simulations were then run, with trajectories saved every 100 ps. The results are available in [1]. Figure 11 C, Figure 15 A and Figure 15 B, where Figure 11 C represents the molecular interaction analysis between DCUN1D5 and the main therapeutic drugs for osteosarcoma (including methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatin and cyclophosphamide), Figure 15 A represents the visualization of the molecular binding energy between DCUN1D5 and five Chinese medicine monomers. Figure 15 B represents the molecular docking visualization results of DCUN1D5 and five traditional Chinese medicine monomers.

They were then incubated overnight at 4°C in a 1:1000 dilution of SLC25A5 antibody solution. After thorough washing with PBST, sections were incubated with Alexa Fluor 555-labeled IgG antibody at a dilution of 1:600 for 20 minutes at room temperature in the dark.

Next, the top layer consisted of 0.3% agarose and 5000 designated cells. The culture plates were incubated in a humidity-controlled environment at 37°C and 5% CO2 for approximately two weeks. Cell colonies were stained with 0.5% crystal violet and 25% methanol for 20 minutes. The culture plates were then scanned and photographed, and colony counts were performed using Bio-Rad's QuantityOne v.4.0.3 software. The results are shown in the table. Figure 12 F.

[0078] 19. Evaluating Synergy Using SynergyFinderPlus Software
[0079] Multiple models were used to evaluate synergy, mainly to analyze the synergistic effect of the combination of physalis A and cisplatin. Using models based on different null hypotheses to analyze the same experimental data may lead to different interpretations of the synergistic effects of the test drugs. In order to reliably evaluate the interactions between anti-osteosarcoma drugs, the Synergy FinderPlus calculator was used, which uses four main models to evaluate synergy: ZIP, LOEWE, BLISS, and HSA. These models are constructed based on specific biological or empirical assumptions. The BLISS model assumes that the effects of the drugs are independent and calculates the expected combination effect based on the probability of independent effects. The HSA model defines synergy as a combination response that is greater than the response of either drug alone. The LOEWE model considers the dose-response relationship of each drug and calculates the expected additive response; if the response is higher than expected, it is marked as synergistic. The ZIP model evaluates the effect of the two-drug combination under the assumption that each drug does not affect the efficacy of the other drug. For specific evaluation results, see Figure 15 FI. Among them, Figure 15 F represents the confidence interval diagram of cisplatin and physalisin A. Figure 15 G represents the synergistic graph of cisplatin and physalis A combined treatment of U2OS / R cells when synergy was evaluated using BLISS, HSA, LOEWE, and ZIP models. The synergistic score was calculated using Synergy Finder software. Positive or negative synergistic scores indicate synergistic and antagonistic effects, respectively. Figure 15 H represents the synergistic measure of cisplatin and physalisin A at a given dose combination, Figure 15 I represents the synergistic score at different dose combinations.

[0082] 20. Animal Experimentation
[0083] NOD-scid IL2rγnull (NSG) mice were injected subcutaneously with 1×10 7 U2OS / R cells were used to construct a drug-resistant tumor model. The successfully modeled NSG mice were randomly divided into two groups: the SiRNA-NC group (subcutaneous injection of Si-NC / MG63 cells and intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin) and the SiRNA-DCUN1D5 group (subcutaneous injection of Si-DCUN1D5 / MG63 cells and intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin). Each group included three mice. Tumor growth was continuously observed and tumor volume was recorded. When the tumor volume reached 50 mm 3Cisplatin (diluted to 1 μg / g in saline) was administered intraperitoneally twice weekly according to group. Tumor volume and mouse body weight were assessed weekly. On the fourth week, mice were euthanized; tumors were excised, weighed, and subjected to T UNEL and Ki67 staining, DCUN1D5 expression analysis, and H&E staining. The results are shown in the table.

Compared with the SiRNA-NC group, the number of TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells in the SiRNA-DCUN1D5 group increased, and Ki-67 expression decreased, indicating that DCUN1D5 silencing has the effects of promoting apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation in vivo. Statistical significance is indicated by ***P<0.005.
