BRCA1 interacting protein C-terminal helicase 1 (BRIP1) is involved in the DNA repair system and, according to a number of studies, may play a significant role in oncogenesis. Camptothecin, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, has a cytotoxic effect on many tumor cells, but its influence on BRIP1 expression in glioblastoma has not been adequately studied to date.</p> <p><bold>Aim</bold> – to determine the role of the <italic>BRIP1 </italic>gene in glioblastoma progression and to evaluate the antitumor effect of camptothecin associated with BRIP1 inhibition <italic>in vitro</italic>.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods.</bold> We identified differentially expressed genes in 2 datasets (GSE54004 and GSE43378) containing primary low- and high-grade glioma tissue samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. We carried out functional analysis using the Gene Ontology database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome, as well as constructed a protein-protein interaction network and identified key genes using the cytoHubba plugin in Cytoscape. CMap analysis was utilized to identify compounds capable of suppressing the overexpressed genes in glioblastoma, including <italic>BRIP1</italic>. Glioblastoma cell lines (U251, U87, and LN229) and human brain astrocytes were used in the experimental part of our study. BRIP1 protein expression level was assessed by Western blot analysis. The antitumor activity of camptothecin was investigated using an MTT assay and flow cytometry. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University of Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> Among the 200 differentially expressed genes found to be significantly overexpressed in high-grade gliomas, <italic>BRIP1 </italic>showed high interaction scores in the protein-protein interaction network and was associated with DNA repair pathways, homologous recombination, and cell cycle (GSEA results). CMap search identified camptothecin as one of the promising small molecule compounds for BRIP1 suppression (enrichment –0.949 and <italic>p </italic>= 0.00026). The expression level of BRIP1 protein was increased in U251, U87, and LN229 cell lines compared with human brain astricytes, which supports our data obtained by Western blot analysis. The introduction of camptothecin into U251 culture in a dose-dependent manner reduced the viability and proliferation of tumor cells, inhibited their migration, and induced apoptosis which was accompanied by a dose-dependent decrease in the level of BRIP1 protein expression.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion.</bold> This study highlights a key role of BRIP1 in the development of glioblastoma and demonstrates that camptothecin can completely or partially inhibit glioblastoma development and progression by suppressing BRIP1 activity. Our findings suggest that BRIP1 may be considered as a potential therapeutic target and confirm the need for further development of camptothecin and its analogs for targeted therapy of glioblastoma.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение.</bold> Глиобластома – наиболее агрессивная и распространенная злокачественная опухоль головного мозга, отличающаяся высокой гетерогенностью, способностью к инфильтрации и частыми рецидивами. BRCA1-взаимодействующий белок C-терминальной геликазы 1 (BRIP1) участвует в системе репарации ДНК и, согласно ряду исследований, может играть существенную роль в онкогенезе. Камптотецин, ингибитор топоизомеразы I, обладает цитотоксическим действием в отношении многих опухолевых клеток, однако его влияние на экспрессию BRIP1 при глиобластоме до настоящего времени изучено недостаточно.</p> <p><bold>Цель</bold> – определить значение гена <italic>BRIP1 </italic>в прогрессии глиобластомы и оценить противоопухолевый эффект камптотецина <italic>in vitro</italic>, связанный с ингибированием BRIP1.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> Из базы данных GEO (сеты GSE54004 и GSE43378) были отобраны дифференциально экспрессируемые гены между первичными образцами тканей глиом низкой и высокой степени злокачественности. Проводился функциональный анализ с использованием базы данных «Онтология генов» и Киотской энциклопедии генов и генома, а также осуществлялось построение сети белок-белкового взаимодействия и выявление ключевых генов с помощью плагина cytoHubba в Cytoscape. Анализ CMap использовался для идентификации соединений, способных подавлять сверхэкспрессированные при глиобластоме гены, в том числе <italic>BRIP1</italic>. Клеточные линии глиобластомы U251, U87 и LN229 и нормальные астроциты человека были использованы в экспериментальном исследовании. Уровень экспрессии белка BRIP1 оценивали методом вестерн-блот-анализа. Противоопухолевый эффект камптотецина изучали с помощью теста МТТ и проточной цитометрии. Данное исследование одобрено независимым этическим комитетом и утверждено решением ученого совета ФГАОУ ВО РНИМУ им. Н.И. Пирогова Минздрава России.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Среди 200 найденных дифференциально экспрессируемых генов, значимо сверхэкспрессированных в глиомах высокой степени злокачественности, <italic>BRIP1 </italic>продемонстрировал высокие показатели степени взаимодействий в сети белок-белкового взаимодействия и был ассоциирован с путями репарации ДНК, гомологичной рекомбинацией и клеточным циклом (результаты GSEA). Поиск по базе CMap указал на камптотецин как одно из перспективных низкомолекулярных соединений для подавления BRIP1 (обогащение –0,949 и <italic>p </italic>= 0,00026). Уровень экспрессии белка BRIP1 был повышен в клеточных линиях U251, U87 и LN229 по сравнению с нормальными астроцитами человека, что подтверждает данные вестерн-блот-анализа. Введение камптотецина в культуру U251 в дозозависимой манере снижало жизнеспособность и пролиферацию опухолевых клеток, ингибировало их миграцию, а также индуцировало апоптоз. При этом наблюдалось дозозависимое снижение уровня экспрессии белка BRIP1.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Проведенное исследование указывает на ключевую роль BRIP1 в развитии глиобластомы и демонстрирует, что камптотецин способен ингибировать развитие и прогрессирование глиобластомы полностью или частично за счет подавления активности BRIP1. Полученные данные позволяют рассматривать BRIP1 как потенциальную терапевтическую мишень и подтверждают целесообразность дальнейшей разработки камптотецина и его аналогов для таргетной терапии глиобластомы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>glioblastoma</kwd><kwd>BRIP1</kwd><kwd>camptothecin</kwd><kwd>DNA repair</kwd><kwd>apoptosis</kwd><kwd>bioinformatics analysis</kwd><kwd>oncogenesis</kwd><kwd>targeted therapy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>глиобластома</kwd><kwd>BRIP1</kwd><kwd>камптотецин</kwd><kwd>репарация ДНК</kwd><kwd>апоптоз</kwd><kwd>биоинформатический анализ</kwd><kwd>онкогенез</kwd><kwd>таргетная терапия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Read R.D., Tapp Z.M., Rajappa P., Hambardzumyan D.
