        Natural radioprotectors and their impact on cancer drug discovery

        Kuruba, Vinutha,Gollapalli, Pavan The Korean Society for Radiation Oncology 2018 Radiation Oncology Journal Vol.36 No.4

        Cancer is a complex multifaceted illness that affects different patients in discrete ways. For a number of cancers the use of chemotherapy has become standard practice. Chemotherapy is a use of cytostatic drugs to cure cancer. Cytostatic agents not only affect cancer cells but also affect the growth of normal cells; leading to side effects. Because of this, radiotherapy gained importance in treating cancer. Slaughtering of cancerous cells by radiotherapy depends on the radiosensitivity of the tumor cells. Efforts to improve the therapeutic ratio have resulted in the development of compounds that increase the radiosensitivity of tumor cells or protect the normal cells from the effects of radiation. Amifostine is the only chemical radioprotector approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but due to its side effect and toxicity, use of this compound was also failed. Hence the use of herbal radioprotectors bearing pharmacological properties is concentrated due to their low toxicity and efficacy. Notably, in silico methods can expedite drug discovery process, to lessen the compounds with unfavorable pharmacological properties at an early stage of drug development. Hence a detailed perspective of these properties, in accordance with their prediction and measurement, are pivotal for a successful identification of radioprotectors by drug discovery process.

        Computational Approach for Protein Structure Prediction

        Amouda Venkatesan,Jeyakodi Gopal,Manimozhi Candavelou,Sowjanya Gollapalli,Kayathri Karthikeyan 대한의료정보학회 2013 Healthcare Informatics Research Vol.19 No.2

        Objectives: To predict the structure of protein, which dictates the function it performs, a newly designed algorithm is developed which blends the concept of self-organization and the genetic algorithm. Methods: Among many other approaches, genetic algorithm is found to be a promising cooperative computational method to solve protein structure prediction in a reasonable time. To automate the right choice of parameter values the influence of self-organization is adopted to design a new genetic operator to optimize the process of prediction. Torsion angles, the local structural parameters which define the backbone of protein are considered to encode the chromosome that enhances the quality of the confirmation. Newly designed self-configured genetic operators are used to develop self-organizing genetic algorithm to facilitate the accurate structure prediction. Results: Peptides are used to gauge the validity of the proposed algorithm. As a result, the structure predicted shows clear improvements in the root mean square deviation on overlapping the native indicates the overall performance of the algorithm. In addition, the Ramachandran plot results implies that the conformations of phi-psi angles in the predicted structure are better as compared to native and also free from steric hindrances. Conclusions: The proposed algorithm is promising which contributes to the prediction of a native-like structure by eliminating the time constraint and effort demand. In addition, the energy of the predicted structure is minimized to a greater extent, which proves the stability of protein.

        Exploring the differentially expressed genes in human lymphocytes upon response to ionizing radiation: a network biology approach

        Tamizh Selvan Gnana Sekaran,Vishakh R. Kedilaya,Suchetha N. Kumari,Praveenkumar Shetty,Pavan Gollapalli 대한방사선종양학회 2021 Radiation Oncology Journal Vol.39 No.1

        Purpose: The integration of large-scale gene data and their functional analysis needs the effective application of various computational tools. Here we attempted to unravel the biological processes and cellular pathways in response to ionizing radiation using a systems biology approach. Materials and Methods: Analysis of gene ontology shows that 80, 42, 25, and 35 genes have roles in the biological process, molecular function, the cellular process, and immune system pathways, respectively. Therefore, our study emphasizes gene/protein network analysis on various differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to reveal the interactions between those proteins and their functional contribution upon radiation exposure. Results: A gene/protein interaction network was constructed, which comprises 79 interactors with 718 interactions and TP53, MAPK8, MAPK1, CASP3, MAPK14, ATM, NOTCH1, VEGFA, SIRT1, and PRKDC are the top 10 proteins in the network with high betweenness centrality values. Further, molecular complex detection was used to cluster these associated partners in the network, which produced three effective clusters based on the Molecular Complex Detection (MCODE) score. Interestingly, we found a high functional similarity from the associated genes/proteins in the network with known radiation response genes. Conclusion: This network-based approach on DEGs of human lymphocytes upon response to ionizing radiation provides clues for an opportunity to improve therapeutic efficacy.
