Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a devastating disease worldwide. Though many efforts have been made to elucidate the process of HCC, its molecular mechanisms development remain elusive due complexity. To explore stepwise carcinogenic from pre-neoplastic lesions end stage we employed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) which has proved be an effective method in diseases detect co-expressed modules and hub genes using eight pathological stages including normal, cirrhosis...

Background: Arsenic (As) is a well-known environmental contaminant. Chronic exposure to As known increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and stroke. However, detailed mechanisms by which causes vascular dysfunction involving endothelial integrity permeability unclear. Objectives: Our goal was investigate how leads dysfunction. Methods: trioxide (ATO) used effects using mouse model cultured cell monolayers. Results: Compared with...

To elucidate the mechanism of Spatholobi Caulis (SC) in treating osteoporosis (OP) integrated zebrafish model and bioinformatics.Skeleton staining coupled with image quantification was performed to evaluate effects SC on skeleton mineralization area (SSA) total optical density (TOD). Zebrafish locomotor activity monitored using EthoVision XT. Bioactive compounds their corresponding protein targets were acquired from Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database....

Targeting angiogenesis has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer treatment. Methylseleninic acid (MSA) is metabolite of selenium (Se) in animal cells that exhibits anti-oxidative and anti-cancer activities at levels exceeding Se nutritional requirements. However, it remains unclear whether MSA exerts its effects on prevention by influencing within levels. Herein, we demonstrate inhibited 2 µM, which falls the range moderate status. We found treatments µM increased cell adherence, while...

Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease that endangers human health. At present, chemical drugs used for osteoporosis have serious side effects. Therefore, it valuable to search herbs with high safety and good curative effect in antiosteoporosis. Erzhi formula (EZF), an ancient classic compound, has been reported beneficial antiosteoporosis, but its mechanism unclear. In this paper, the active compounds of EZF were found Systems Pharmacology Database, gene targets related obtained GeneCards....

Arsenic (As) is a well-known environmental pollutant, while arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been proven to be an effective treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia, however, the mechanism underlying its dual effects not fully understood. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) exhibit properties of stemness and serve as popular model investigate epigenetic modifiers including pollutants. Herein, low-dose ATO on differentiation were evaluated in vitro using mouse ESCs (mESCs) cell line, CGR8. Cells treated...

Glucocorticoids have been detected in environmental waters, and their biological potency has raised concerns on impact aquatic vertebrates especially fish. Numerous researches showed that the continuous direct contact of with glucocorticoid contaminants water will cause bone formation inhibition. The aim this study is to predict verify effect icaritin (IT), icariin (ICA), baohuside-I (BHG-I) reversing glucocorticoid-induced inhibition (GIBFI) by molecular docking zebrafish model. We...
