ABSTRACT
Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common malignant tumor that is closely associated with metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are complex polymers formed by the reaction of reducing sugars with the amino groups of biomacromolecules, mediating the occurrence and development of many chronic metabolic diseases. Recent research has demonstrated that the accumulation of AGEs can affect the tumor microenvironment, metabolism, and signaling pathways, thereby affecting the malignant progression of tumors. However, the mechanism by which AGEs affect EC is unclear. Our research aimed to investigate how AGEs promote the development of EC through metabolic pathways and to explore their potential underlying mechanisms. Our experimental results demonstrated that AGEs upregulated the choline metabolism mediated by choline kinase alpha (CHKA) through the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), activating the PI3K/AKT pathway and enhancing the malignant biological behavior of EC cells. Virtual screening and molecular dynamics simulation revealed that timosaponin A3 (timo A3) could target CHKA to inhibit AGE-induced progression of EC and that a newly discovered CHKA inhibitor could be a novel targeted inhibitor for the treatment of EC. This study provides new therapeutic strategies and contributes to the treatment of EC.
