Purpose: Yin-Huo-Tang (YHT) is a classic traditional Chinese prescription, used to prevent lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) relapse by "nourishing yin and clearing heat". In this study, the mechanism of YHT in LUAD recurrence was investigated. Methods: Firstly, the bioactive compounds and targets of YHT, as well as related targets of LUAD recurrence, were collected from public databases. The protein-protein interaction network, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analyses were performed to find the pivotal compounds, hub genes, functional annotation and main pathways. Subsequently, RNA sequencing of recurrent tumor tissues from Lewis lung carcinoma mice treated with YHT was used to explore the main pathways. At the same time, pathways screened by network pharmacology and RNA sequencing analysis were considered the most important pathways. Finally, liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was used to validate the pivotal active ingredients. Molecular docking technology was performed to validate the binding association between the hub genes and the pivotal active ingredients. PCR and WB analysis were used to validate the main pathways. Results: There were 128 active compounds and 419 targets interacting with YHT and LUAD recurrence. Network analysis identified 4 pivotal compounds, 28 hub genes and 30 main pathways. Sphingolipid signaling pathway was the common main pathway in network pharmacology and RNA sequencing results. The hub gene related to the sphingolipid signaling pathway was S1PR5. Qualitative phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of 3 pivotal compounds, namely stigmasterol, nootkatone and ergotamine. The molecular docking verified that the pivotal compounds could good affinity with S1PR5. The PCR and WB analysis verified YHT suppressed Lewis lung cancer cells proliferation and migration by inhibiting the sphingolipid signaling pathway. Conclusion: The potential mechanism and therapeutic effect of YHT against the recurrence of LUAD may be ascribed to inhibition of the sphingolipid signaling pathway.
Objective: To study the regulatory effect of cryoablation on MAPK/ERK signaling pathway in mice with lung adenocarcinoma. Methods: Lewis mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line was used to establish subcutaneous transplanted tumor model in C57BL / 6 mice. Ten mice were randomly divided into two groups: sham operation group and cryoablation group, with 5 mice in each group. The cryoablation group was treated with double circulation-rewarming ablation, and the sham operation group was treated with incision and suture at the transplanted tumor. The tumor tissues were taken 14 days after operation. Detect the effect of cryoablation on MAPK/ERK pathway related proteins by Western blot, such as KRAS, RAF1, MEK1, ERK1/2, P-RAF1, P-MEK1, P-ERK1/2. The expression of KRAS gene was further verified by qRt-PCR. Results: Compared with the sham operation group, the phosphorylated proteins P-RAF1, P-MEK1 and P-ERK1/2 in tumor tissue after cryoablation were decreased (P< 0.05 ), and the key molecule KRAS in MAPK/ERK pathway was decreased in protein and gene expression (P< 0.05 ). Conclusion: Cryoablation can negatively regulate MAPK / ERK signaling pathway by down-regulating KRas expression.
BackgroundHOXA cluster antisense RNA 2 (lncRNA HOXA-AS2) is a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that aberrantly expressed in various cancers and is closely associated with cancer progression. To overcome the limitation of small sample sizes that are inherent to single studies, a meta-analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between the expression level of HOXA-AS2 and cancer prognosis.MethodsCorrelational studies were retrieved by searching the databases of PubMed, Embase and Web of Science (up to August 10, 2022). The survival and prognosis data included overall survival (OS), and clinical parameters were gathered and analyzed.ResultsEighteen publications with 1181 patients who were diagnosed with solid tumors were ultimately included. The results showed that, compared with patients with low HOXA-AS2 expression, patients with high HOXA-AS2 expression tended to have poorer overall survival (OS) (HR= 2.52, 95% CI 1.87-3.38, P < 0.01) and shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (HR=7.19, 95% CI 3.20-16.17, P < 0.01). In addition, elevated HOXA-AS2 expression indicated a larger tumor size (OR =2.43, 95% CI 1.53–3.88,P < 0.01), more advanced TNM stage (OR=3.85, 95% CI 2.79-5.31, P < 0.01), earlier lymph node metastasis (LNM) (OR = 4.41, 95% CI 3.05-6.39, P < 0.01) and distant metastasis (DM) (OR= 2.96, 95% CI 1.87-4.7, P < 0.01). Furthermore, HOXA-AS2 expression was notassociated with age (OR=1.15, 95% CI 0.90-1.47), gender (OR=1.16, 95% CI 0.89-1.53), or tumor differentiation (OR=1.21, 95% CI 0.56-2.63). Moreover, aberrant HOXA-AS2 expression was related to drug sensitivity in various types of cancers.ConclusionThe overexpression of HOXA-AS2 predicted poor cancer prognosis in the Chinese population, including poor OS, DFS, TNM, LNM, and DM. HOXA-AS2 could serve as a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42022352604.
