Validation of a network-based strategy for the optimization of combinatorial target selection in breast cancer therapy: siRNA knockdown of network targets in MDA-MB-231 cells as an in vitro model for inhibition of tumor development

Abstract: Network-based strategies provided by systems biology are attractive tools for cancer therapy. Modulation of cancer networks by anticancer drugs may alter the response of malignant cells and/or drive network re-organization into the inhibition of cancer progression. Previously, using systems biology approach and cancer signaling networks, we identified top-5 highly expressed and connected proteins (HSP90AB1, CSNK2B, TK1, YWHAB and VIM) in the invasive MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. Here, we have knocked do… Show more

“…Specific target combinations were derived from the gene expression profile of each patient, with the potential to mitigate side effects and enhance the treatment outcome. Among the parameters tested to indicate gene priority, the node degree has been indicated as a key factor (Carels et al, 2015;Tilli et al, 2016;Conforte et al, 2019). Other topological measures of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) have also been widely used in the identification of new therapeutic targets (Peng and Schork, 2014;Azevedo and Moreira-Filho, 2015).…”

“…Rather, we identified the key genes responsible for attractor stability. By extension, one could argue that key genes are essential to tumor biology and that their inhibition would lead to cell death (Tilli et al, 2016).…”

“…Increased expression of the TK1 enzyme is associated with cancer aggressiveness and TK1 serum levels progressively increase with cancer grade (T1-T4) in breast tissue (14,17).. The role of TK1 and its impact on tumor progression has recently been evaluated in protein networks (18)(19)(20). In one study, TK1 was evaluated in invasive MDA-MB-231 cells within a protein network that included HSP90AB1, CSNK2B, YWHAB and VIM (18).…”

In one study, TK1 was evaluated in invasive MDA-MB-231 cells within a protein network that included HSP90AB1, CSNK2B, YWHAB and VIM (18). Knockdowns of the complete network inhibited cellular invasion during the epithelial-mesenchymal transition when compared to non-invasive MCF7 and non-tumoral MCF-10A cell lines (18).…”
