Article Abstract
Reduning Injection (RDNI) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula indicated for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. However, the molecular mechanism of RDNI is unclear. The information of RDNI ingredients was collected from previous studies. Targets of them were obtained by data mining and molecular docking. The information of targets and related pathways was collected in UniProt and KEGG. Networks were constructed and analyzed by Cytoscape to identify key compounds, targets, and pathways. Data mining and molecular docking identified 11 compounds, 84 targets, and 201 pathways that are related to the anti-inflammatory activity of RDNI. Network analysis identified two key compounds (caffeic acid and ferulic acid), five key targets (Bcl-2, eNOS, PTGS2, PPARA, and MMPs), and four key pathways (estrogen signaling pathway, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, and calcium signaling pathway) which would play critical roles in the treatment of inflammatory diseases by RDNI. The cross-talks among pathways provided a deeper understanding of anti-inflammatory effect of RDNI. RDNI is capable of regulating multiple biological processes and treating inflammation at a systems level. Network pharmacology is a practical approach to explore the therapeutic mechanism of TCM for complex disease.

Purpose: Lung cancer is currently the most common malignant tumor worldwide and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, posing a serious threat to human health. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and are involved in various biological processes associated with lung cancer. Understanding the mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis and detecting disease biomarkers may enable early diagnosis of lung cancer.

The PTEN tumor suppressor regulates the PIK3CA/AKT1 pathway, and its inactivation significantly contributes to tumorigenesis and progression in hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR + /HER2 -) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In ~ 5% of these patients, PTEN loss, primarily due to gene deletions, leads to aberrant PI3K signaling and enhanced oncogenic potential. Findings from the CAPItello-291 study further establish PTEN together with PIK3CA and AKT1 as a predictive biomarker for Capivasertib, a pan-AKT inhibitor, in these patients.

Cancer-associated muscle wasting is associated with poor clinical outcomes, but its underlying biology is largely uncharted in humans. Unbiased analysis of the RNAome (coding and non-coding RNAs) with unsupervised clustering using integrative non-negative matrix factorization provides a means of identifying distinct molecular subtypes and was applied here to muscle of patients with colorectal or pancreatic cancer. Rectus abdominis biopsies from 84 patients were profiled using high-throughput next-generation sequencing.

The anti-HER2 antibody‒drug conjugate (ADC) DS-8201 presents new hope for patients with advanced HER2-positive tumors. Its clinical application, however, is hindered by serious adverse reactions and reduced efficacy following long-term treatment. In this study, we investigated the factors influencing the sensitivity of DS-8201 and developed effective combination regimens to optimize its therapeutic efficacy.

Purpose: Polymorphous adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland is characterized by cellular uniformity associated with a variety of morphological growth patterns, a fact that makes its diagnosis challenging. Therefore, the identification of genetic alterations and signaling pathways emerges as a tool for elucidation of the pathogenesis of this tumor and accurate differential diagnosis. The aim of this study was to assess mutations in the PRKD1 gene and in protein components of the HH pathway (SHH, IHH, SMO, and GLI-1) in cases of polymorphous adenocarcinoma of the salivary gland.
