    Abstract Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe and rare disease in the cardiopulmonary system. Its pathogenesis involves vascular remodeling of the pulmonary artery, which results in progressive increases in pulmonary arterial pressure. Chronically increased pulmonary arterial pressure causes right ventricular hypertrophy and subsequent right heart failure. Pulmonary vascular remodeling is attributed to the excessive proliferation and migration of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), which are induced by enhanced Ca
    Objectives: In the present study, the functional expression of two-pore domain potassium KCNK channels was investigated in PASMCs from idiopathic PAH (IPAH) patients and experimental pulmonary hypertensive (PH) animals.
    Results: In IPAH-PASMCs, the expression of KCNK1/TWIK1 and KCNK2/TREK1 channels was up-regulated, whereas that of KCNK3/TASK1 and KCNK6/TWIK2 channels was down-regulated. The similar up-regulated expression of KCNK1 and KCNK2 channels was observed in the pulmonary arterial smooth muscles of monocrotaline-induced PH rats, Sugen 5416/hypoxia-induced PH rats, and hypoxia-induced PH mice. The facilitated proliferation of IPAH-PASMCs was suppressed by the KCNK channel blockers, quinine and tetrapentylammonium. The migration of IPAH-PASMCs was also suppressed by these channel blockers. Furthermore, increases in the proliferation and migration were inhibited by the siRNA knockdown of KCNK1 or KCNK2 channels. The siRNA knockdown also caused membrane depolarization and subsequent decrease in cytosolic [Ca
    Conclusion: Collectively, these findings indicate that the up-regulated expression of KCNK1 and KCNK2 channels facilitates the proliferation and migration of PASMCs via enhanced Ca

    Abstract The hERG channel is a voltage-gated potassium channel involved in cardiac repolarization. Off-target hERG inhibition by drugs has become a critical issue in the pharmaceutical industry. The three-dimensional structure of the hERG channel was recently reported at 3.8-Å resolution using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). However, the drug inhibition mechanism remains unclear because of the scarce structural information regarding the drug- and potassium-bound hERG channels. In this study, we obtained the cryo-EM density map of potassium-bound hERG channel complexed with astemizole, a well-known hERG inhibitor that increases risk of potentially fatal arrhythmia, at 3.5-Å resolution. The structure suggested that astemizole inhibits potassium conduction by binding directly below the selectivity filter. Furthermore, we propose a possible binding model of astemizole to the hERG channel and provide insights into the unusual sensitivity of hERG to several drugs.

    Abstract The Hippo pathway plays an important role in the growth, development, and regeneration of cells and organs. Transcriptional enhanced associate domain (TEAD), a transcription activator of the Hippo pathway, forms the complex with a transcriptional coactivator yes-associated protein (YAP) or a transcriptional coactivator PDZ-binding motif (TAZ). Their excessive activations are involved in carcinogenesis such as malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), and thus inhibition of the TEAD complex is expected to have potent anticancer activity against MPM. On the other hand, YAP or TAZ conditional knockout mice have been reported to show abnormal findings in various tissues, including the kidney, liver, and lung. In the present study, we evaluated the systemic toxicity of K-975, a novel TEAD inhibitor, in rats. When K-975 was administered orally to rats for 1 week, proteinuria suggestive of nephrotoxicity was observed. Electron microscopy revealed that K-975 at 300 mg/kg induced glomerular podocyte foot process effacement. After a 2-week recovery period, proteinuria with foot process effacement was recovered completely. Urinalysis and urinary biomarker evaluation suggested that the urinary albumin index (urinary albumin/urinary creatinine) was the most sensitive marker for detecting K-975-induced nephrotoxicity. After 3 cycles of 1-week administration followed by 2-week recovery periods, nephrotoxicity was reversible; however, incomplete reversibility was observed in rats with severe proteinuria. In conclusion, this study revealed that in rats, oral K-975 treatment induced severe proteinuria by podocyte foot process effacement, which was reversible and monitorable by the urinary albumin index, suggesting important information for developing K-975 as an anticancer drug.

    Abstract Background: The current pipeline for new antibiotics fails to fully address the significant threat posed by drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria that have been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global health priority. New antibacterials acting through novel mechanisms of action are urgently needed. We aimed to identify new chemical entities (NCEs) with activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter baumannii that could be developed into a new treatment for drug-resistant infections.
    Methods: We developed a high-throughput phenotypic screen and selection cascade for generation of hit compounds active against multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii. We screened compound libraries selected from the proprietary collections of three pharmaceutical companies that had exited antibacterial drug discovery but continued to accumulate new compounds to their collection. Compounds from two out of three libraries were selected using "eNTRy rules" criteria associated with increased likelihood of intracellular accumulation in Escherichia coli.
    Findings: We identified 72 compounds with confirmed activity against K. pneumoniae and/or drug-resistant A. baumannii. Two new chemical series with activity against XDR A. baumannii were identified meeting our criteria of potency (EC
    Interpretation: This work provides proof of principle for the screening strategy developed to identify NCEs with antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant critical priority pathogens such as K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii. The screening and hit selection cascade established here provide an excellent foundation for further screening of new compound libraries to identify high quality starting points for new antibacterial lead generation projects.
