Antiglioma pseurotin A from marine Bacillus sp. FS8D regulating tumour metabolic enzymes

Nat Prod Res. 2018 Jun;32(11):1353-1356. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2017.1343329. Epub 2017 Jun 23.

Abstract

Pseurotin A was isolated from a culture of marine Bacillus sp. FS8D and showed to be active against the proliferation of four different glioma cells with IC50 values of 0.51-29.3 μM. It has been found that pseurotin A downregulated the expression of tumour glycolytic enzymes pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) and lactate dehydrogenase 5 (LDH5) and upregulated the expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase beta (PDHB), adenosine triphosphate synthase beta (ATPB) and cytochrome C (Cyto-C), the important regulators for tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The data suggested that targeting multiple metabolic enzymes might be one of the antiglioma mechanisms of pseurotin A.

Keywords: Bacillus sp. FS8D; antiglioma activity; pseurotin A; tumour metabolic enzymes.
