Quantitative Proteomics and Molecular Mechanisms of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Mice Treated with Incomptine A, Part II

<b>Background/Objectives:</b> Incomptine A (IA) has cytotoxic activity in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cancer cell lines. Its effects on U-937 cells include induction of apoptosis, production of reactive oxygen species, and inhibition of glycolytic enzymes. We examined the altered protein...

description <b>Background/Objectives:</b> Incomptine A (IA) has cytotoxic activity in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cancer cell lines. Its effects on U-937 cells include induction of apoptosis, production of reactive oxygen species, and inhibition of glycolytic enzymes. We examined the altered protein levels present in the lymph nodes of an in vivo mouse model. <b>Methods:</b> We induced an in vivo model with Balb/c mice with U-937 cells and treated it with IA or methotrexate, as well as healthy mice. We determined expressed proteins by TMT based on the LC-MS/MS method (Data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD060392) and a molecular docking study targeting 15 deregulated proteins. We developed analyses through the KEGG, Reactome, and Gene Ontology databases. <b>Results:</b> A total of 2717 proteins from the axillary and inguinal lymph nodes were analyzed and compared with healthy mice. Of 412 differentially expressed proteins, 132 were overexpressed (FC ≥ 1.5) and 117 were underexpressed (FC ≤ 0.67). This altered expression was associated with 20 significantly enriched processes, including chromatin remodeling, transcription, translation, metabolic and energetic processes, oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, cell proliferation, cytoskeletal organization, and with cell death with necroptosis. <b>Conclusions:</b> We confirmed the previously observed dose-dependent effect of IA as a secondary metabolite with important potential as an anticancer agent for the treatment of NHL, showing that the type of drug or the anatomical location influences the response to treatment. The IA promises to be a likely safer and more effective treatment to improve outcomes, reduce toxicities, and improve survival in patients with NHL, initially targeting histones and transcription factors that will affect cell death proteins.
