Abstract
Developing combination therapy for castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) may require exploiting new drug targets outside androgen receptor and PI3K / AKT / mTOR signal transduction pathways implicated in prostate cancer (PCa) progression. One such possible new target is YWHAZ of the 14-3-3 protein family as this gene has prognostic significance for metastatic CRPC patients. However, there are no small molecules targeting YWHAZ commercially available. Hence, we explored whether the small molecule BV02 targeting another 14-3-3 protein family member SFN also binds to YWHAZ. Using advanced docking algorithms we find that BV02 docks many other 14-3-3 family members. In addition, the amphipathic groove where drug binding occurs also has a high binding affinity for other drugs used to treat PCa such as docetaxel. The proteome of metastatic PCa models (LNCaP clone FGC and PC-3) was perturbed as a result of BV02 treatment. Through data integration of three proteomics data sets we found that BV02 modulates numerous protein-protein interactions involving 14-3-3 proteins in our PCa models.
