Abstract

In this report, using NMR and molecular modeling, we have studied the structure of lysozyme-S100A6 complex and the influence of tranilast [N-(3, 4-dimethoxycinnamoyl) anthranilic acid], an antiallergic drug which binds to lysozyme, on lysozyme-S100A6 and S100A6-RAGE complex formation and, finally, on cell proliferation. We have found that tranilast may block the S100A6-lysozyme interaction and enhance binding of S100A6 to RAGE. Using WST1 assay, we have found that lysozyme, most probably by blocking the interaction between S100A6 and RAGE, inhibits cell proliferation while tranilast may reverse this effect by binding to lysozyme. In conclusion, studies presented in this work, describing the protein-protein/-drug interactions, are of great importance for designing new therapies to treat diseases associated with cell proliferation such as cancers.
