TEX10 Inhibitors

Chemical inhibitors of TEX10 can induce inhibition through various cellular and molecular mechanisms. WZB117, a GLUT1 inhibitor, restricts glucose uptake, leading to reduced glycolytic flux and ATP generation, which is vital for TEX10's activity in DNA repair and replication. A similar reduction in ATP availability is achieved by 2-Deoxy-D-glucose, which competes with glucose and interrupts glycolysis, thus potentially limiting the energy-dependent activities of TEX10. Another approach to constrain ATP production is the application of Oligomycin A, a mitochondrial ATP synthase inhibitor, which could decrease the energy supply necessary for TEX10's functions. Additionally, Bafilomycin A1 disrupts lysosomal acidification and autophagy, which may indirectly be required for TEX10 to perform its role in the DNA damage response.

Further, MLN4924, by inhibiting the NEDD8-activating enzyme, could disrupt neddylation, affecting cell cycle progression and potentially TEX10's proliferation-related functions. PX-12, a thiorexin-1 inhibitor, leads to increased ROS levels, which could impact the redox-sensitive functions of TEX10. Genistein, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, interferes with cell signaling pathways that regulate DNA damage responses, wherein TEX10 is functionally significant. LY294002, by inhibiting PI3K, and U0126 and PD98059, by inhibiting MEK, alter the PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways, respectively. These pathways are instrumental for cell survival and stress response, and their disruption can influence TEX10's role in DNA damage repair. Similarly, SP600125 and SB203580 target the JNK and p38 MAPK pathways, respectively, which are also associated with stress responses and DNA repair mechanisms that involve TEX10's activity. By inhibiting these pathways, the selected chemicals can effectively impair the functional capabilities of TEX10, particularly in relation to its role in maintaining genomic stability.
