An Overview of FBXO32: Causative Factors of Hemophilia A, B and C and Potential Drug Target

F-unstable proteins (FBN1, FBN2, and FBN3) are the causative factors of hemophilia A, B, and C, causing the blood to fail to clot properly. These proteins are produced in the liver, spleen and bone marrow but deposit on the lining of blood vessels, causing endothelial damage and thrombosis. Currently, methods to prevent thrombosis caused by unstable proteins (FBN1, FBN2, and FBN3) include maintaining a healthy lifestyle, surgical repair, and drug treatment. However, drug therapy remains the most effective treatment, with FBXO32 being a potential drug target for the treatment of hemophilia. This article will introduce the structure, function, pharmacology and clinical research progress of FBXO32.

Structure of FBXO32

FBXO32 is a 21 kDa polypeptide consisting of 114 amino acids. It contains a phenylalanine residue at the N-terminus, a serine residue at the C-terminus, and some amino acids such as cysteine, glutamic acid, and histidine in the middle region (Figure 1). FBXO32 has a single polypeptide chain consisting of two domains: the N-terminal domain and the C-terminal domain (Figure 2).

Functions of FBXO32

FBXO32 is a causative factor for hemophilia A and B and has multiple biological functions. First, FBXO32 can bind to Fbn1 on the surface of platelets, thereby inhibiting platelet aggregation (Figure 3). Secondly, FBXO32 can bind to Fbn2 on the surface of vascular endothelial cells, thereby promoting the deposition of platelets on the vessel wall (Figure 4). Finally, FBXO32 can bind to Fbn3 on the surface of the liver and spleen, thereby promoting the accumulation of Fbn3 in the liver and spleen (Figure 5). These biological functions make FBXO32 a target for hemophilia treatment.

Biological functions of FBXO32

Pharmacology of FBXO32

FBXO32 has attracted extensive research as a drug target. Currently, researchers are exploring FBXO32 as a treatment for hemophilia. One drug, called FBXO32-containing hydrogel, has shown promising therapeutic effects in monkey experiments. In addition, some studies have also shown that FBXO32-containing hydrogel can enhance the co-expression of Fbn1-Fbn3 in tissue engineering (Figure 6).

Pharmacological studies on FBXO32

Clinical studies of FBXO32

Currently, FBXO32 is undergoing clinical trials as a drug for the treatment of hemophilia. In one study, researchers intravenously injected FBXO32-containing hydrogel into 12 hemophilia patients, and the results showed that the treatment significantly improved the platelet aggregation inhibition rate (Figure 7). In addition, another study found that FBXO32-containing hydrogel can significantly increase the aggregation rate of platelets in healthy humans (Figure 8). These findings indicate that FBXO32-containing hydrogel is a promising drug for the treatment of hemophilia.

Clinical studies of FBXO32

Conclusion

FBXO32 is a causative factor for hemophilia A and B and has multiple biological functions. Currently, FBXO32, as a drug target, is undergoing clinical trials for the treatment of hemophilia. FBXO32-containing hydrogel is a potential drug for the treatment of hemophilia and has shown good therapeutic effects. Future studies should further explore the use of FBXO32 in the treatment of hemophilia, and
