Detection of Pro Angiogenic and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Patients With
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Detection of pro angiogenic and infammatory biomarkers in patients with CKD Diana Jalal1,2,3*, Bridget Sanford4, Brandon Renner5, Patrick Ten Eyck6, Jennifer Laskowski5, James Cooper5, Mingyao Sun1, Yousef Zakharia7, Douglas Spitz7,9, Ayotunde Dokun8, Massimo Attanasio1, Kenneth Jones10 & Joshua M. Thurman5 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in patients with native and post-transplant chronic kidney disease (CKD). To identify new biomarkers of vascular injury and infammation, we analyzed the proteome of plasma and circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) in native and post-transplant CKD patients utilizing an aptamer-based assay. Proteins of angiogenesis were signifcantly higher in native and post-transplant CKD patients versus healthy controls. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) indicated Ephrin receptor signaling, serine biosynthesis, and transforming growth factor-β as the top pathways activated in both CKD groups. Pro-infammatory proteins were signifcantly higher only in the EVs of native CKD patients. IPA indicated acute phase response signaling, insulin-like growth factor-1, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6 pathway activation. These data indicate that pathways of angiogenesis and infammation are activated in CKD patients’ plasma and EVs, respectively. The pathways common in both native and post-transplant CKD may signal similar mechanisms of CVD. Approximately one in 10 individuals has chronic kidney disease (CKD) rendering CKD one of the most common diseases worldwide1. CKD is associated with a high burden of morbidity in the form of end stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis or transplantation 2. Furthermore, patients with CKD are at signifcantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD)3,4.

It is predominantly caused by elevated expression of choline kinase alpha, which catalyses the phosphorylation of choline to phosphocholine, an essential precursor of membrane lipids. In this thesis, a novel choline kinase inhibitor has been developed and its therapeutic potential evaluated. Furthermore the probe was used to elaborate choline kinase biology. A lead compound, ICL-CCIC-0019 (IC50 of 0.27 0.06 µM), was identiﬁed through a focused library screen. ICL-CCIC-0019 was competitive± with choline and non-competitive with ATP. In a selectivity screen of 131 human kinases, ICL-CCIC-0019 inhibited only 5 kinases more than 20% at a concentration of 10 µM(< 35% in all 131 kinases). ICL- CCIC-0019 potently inhibited cell growth in a panel of 60 cancer cell lines (NCI-60 screen) with a median GI50 of 1.12 µM (range: 0.00389–16.2 µM).

Abstract: Choline kinase alpha (CHKA) is a promising target for the development of cancer therapeu- tics. We have previously reported ICL-CCIC-0019, a potent CHKA inhibitor with high cellular activity but with some unfavorable pharmacological properties. In this work, we present an active analogue of ICL-CCIC-0019 bearing a piperazine handle (CK146) to facilitate further structural elaboration of the pharmacophore and thus improve the biological proﬁle. Two different strategies were evaluated in this study: (1) a prodrug approach whereby selective CHKA inhibition could be achieved through modulating the activity of CK146, via the incorporation of an "-(Ac) Lys motif, cleavable by elevated levels of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and cathepsin L (CTSL) in tumour cells; (2) a prostate-speciﬁc Citation: Wang, N.; Brickute, D.; membrane antigen (PSMA) receptor targeted delivery strategy.

This aberration arises from alterations in metabolic enzymes that control PC biosynthesis and catabolism. Among these enzymes, choline kinase α (CHKα) exhibits the most frequent alterations and is commonly overexpressed in human cancers. CHKα catalyzes the phosphorylation of choline to generate phosphocholine, the ﬁrst step in de novo PC biosynthesis. CHKα overexpression is associated with the malignant phenotype, metastatic capability and drug resistance in human cancers, and thus has been recognized as a robust biomarker and therapeutic target of cancer. Of clinical importance, increased choline metabolism and CHKα activity can be detected by non-invasive magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) or positron emission tomogra- phy/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging with radiolabeled choline analogs for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of cancer patients. Both choline-based MRS and PET/CT imaging have also Citation: Gokhale, S.; Xie, P. been clinically applied for lymphoid malignancies, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple ChoK-Full of Potential: Choline myeloma and central nervous system lymphoma.
