Perception of hub genes engaged in metastatic gastric cancer (mGC) promotes novel ways to diagnose and treat the illness. The goal of this investigation is to recognize the hub genes and reveal its molecular mechanism. In order to explore the potential facts for gastric cancer, the expression profiles of two different datasets were used (GSE161533 and GSE54129).

CLEC-2 is a physiological binding receptor of podoplanin (PDPN), which is expressed on specific tumour cell types and involved in tumour cell-induced platelet aggregation and tumour metastasis. CLEC-2 and podoplanin-expressing tumour cells interact to increase angiogenesis, tumour development, and metastasis.

Methods: A total of 144 samples comprising of exposed (n=72), and control (n=72) subjects were screened. Demographic data and their associated health levels were undertaken by means of a questionnaire.
Synthesis of nanoparticles using plant sources as reducing agent has become important, as physical and chemical methods are costlier and affects environment. Hence it is important to develop environment friendly nanoparticle synthesis by avoiding the use of toxic chemicals. The present study aimed to synthesize silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps) and gold nanoparticles (AuNps) using Musa acuminata colla flower and its pharmaceutical activity against extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) gene producing bacteria and anticancer efficacy.

Background: Unlike the terrestrial region, the microorganisms especially actinomycetes groups existing in the marine environment are important sources for the medically important drugs and other active compounds. Considering the importance of natural compounds from the marine actinomycetes, the present study proceeded to identify and characterize promising antibacterial and anticancer actinomycetes from the marine region of Saudi Arabia and to profile the individual chemical components.
Methods: Antimicrobial, anticancer and chemical profiling were performed by broth microdilution, mitochondrial membrane potential assays and GC-MS analysis.

The therapeutic molecules recovered from the marine biological origin are widely used for the treatment of diverse levels of infections caused by microbial pathogens. In addition, the eco-friendly preparations of nanomaterials together with the secondary metabolites' producing active microbial strains effectively suppress the spreading of the pathogenic bacteria. Considering their importance, the present study evaluated the environmental friendly synthesis of Silver nitrate nanomaterials (SNM) from the active marine Streptomyces strain Al-Dhabi-91 isolated from the Dammam region of Saudi Arabia.

Eco-friendly biosynthesis of nanoparticles from medicinal plants as reducing agent has gained importance due to its potential therapeutic uses. In the present study Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were eco-friendly synthesized using the leaf extracts of the medicinal plant Tropaeolum majus. The obtained AgNPs were characterized by UV - visible spectrum, FTIR, SEM and XRD which clearly showed the reduction of Ag ions to Ag.

Al-Dhabi-87 that was recovered from the Gulf region of Saudi Arabia was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (NP) from the culture free extract. The produced NP were confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), high-resolution scanning electron microscope (HRSEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDAX), and X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), and broth micro dilution techniques were employed for the determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) values.
