Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β) regulates cellular functions like proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. On the cell surface, TGF-β binds to receptor complexes consisting of TGF-β receptor type II (TβRII) and activin-like kinase receptor-5 (Alk5), and the downstream signaling is transduced by Smad and MAPK proteins. Recent data have shown that alternative receptor combinations aside from the classical pairing of TβRII/Alk5 can be relevant for TGF-β signaling. We have screened for alternative receptors for TGF-β and also for gene targets of TGF-β signaling, by performing functional assays and microarray analysis in murine embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell lines lacking Alk5. Data from TGF-β-stimulated Alk5−/− cells show them to be completely unaffected by TGF-β. Additionally, 465 downstream targets of Alk5 signaling were identified when comparing Alk5−/− or TGF-β-stimulated Alk5+/+ MEFs with unstimulated Alk5+/+ cells. Our results demonstrate that, in MEFs, TGF-β signals exclusively through complexes involving Alk5, and give insight to its downstream effector genes.

About (20) Pseudomonas rogenosa isolate were experienced for their ability of protease production by calculating the diameter of lysis area after developing on skim milk agar medium (qualitatively ) and the results exhibited that only isolate no (5), was higher isolate for protease making of (26mm) of lysis area. Then, the protein concentration also identified by Bradford method and it was found of 0.16 mg/ ml , then purification was done by using an ion- exchange chromatography with DEAE sephadex G- 100 column and the results showed the presence of 1 peak of enzyme with 50 Kd of molecular weight 2 peaks of other proteins . we tried to investigate the invitro Cytotoxic effect of purified enzyme against two human cancer lines, HeP2 (Human larynx epidermed carcinoma ) , RD ( Rabdo- Sarcoma ) , and one normal cell line Ref ( Rat embryonic fibroblast ) . The cancer and normal cells were treated with different concentrations of protease enzyme ranging from ( 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4,0.8and 0.16 mg/ml) then incubated for additional 48h at 37C0 and the results showed highest toxicity ( 80.28%) of protease enzyme on RD , moderate cytotoxicity (45.52%) on Hep andslight toxicity ( 37.12% ) on normal cell line (Ref) in a concentration (0.8mg/ml).

Background: Akt is overexpressed or activated in a variety of human cancers, including gliomas, lung, breast, ovarian, gastric and pancreatic carcinomas. Akt inhibition leads to the induction of apoptosis and inhibition of tumor growth and therefore extensive efforts have been devoted to the discovery of potent antitumor drugs targeting Akt. Objectives: The objective of this work was to identify potent anticancer agents targeting Akt. Methods: New hydrazone derivatives were synthesized and investigated for their cytotoxic effects on 5RP7 H-ras oncogene transformed rat embryonic fibroblast and L929 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell lines. Besides, the apoptotic effects of the most active compounds on 5RP7 cell line were evaluated using flow cytometry. Their Akt inhibitory effects were also investigated using a colorimetric assay. In silico docking and Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism and Excretion (ADME) studies were also performed using Schrödinger’s Maestro molecular modeling package. Results and Discussion: Compounds 3a, 3d, 3g and 3j were found to be effective on 5RP7 cells (with IC50 values of <0.97, <0.97, 1.13±0.06 and <0.97 μg/mL, respectively) when compared with cisplatin (IC50= 1.87±0.15 μg/mL). It was determined that these four compounds significantly induced apoptosis in 5RP7 cell line. Among them, N'-benzylidene-2-[(4-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidin- 2-yl)thio]acetohydrazide (3g) significantly inhibited Akt (IC50= 0.5±0.08 μg/mL) when compared with GSK690693 (IC50= 0.6±0.05 μg/mL). Docking studies suggested that compound 3g showed good affinity to the active site of Akt (PDB code: 2JDO). According to in silico ADME studies, the compound also complies with Lipinski's rule of five and Jorgensen's rule of three. Conclusion: Compound 3g stands out as a potential orally bioavailable cytotoxic agent and apoptosis inducer targeting Akt.
