An Integrated Network, RNA Sequencing, and Experiment Pharmacology Approach Reveals the Active Component, Potential Target, and Mechanism of in the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer.

In this study, a combination of network pharmacology, bioinformatics analysis, molecular docking and transcriptomics was used to investigate the active ingredient and potential target of in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Koumine was screened as the active component by targeting PDK1 through network pharmacology and reverse docking. RNA-Seq, enrichment analysis and validation experiment were then further employed to reveal koumine might function in inhibiting Akt/mTOR/HK2 pathway to regulate cell glycolysis and detachment of HK2 from mitochondria and VDAC-1 to activate cell apoptosis both and .

2-((1-Phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-2-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one derivatives: Simplification and modification of aconitine scaffold for the discovery of novel anticancer agents.

The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a promising target for cancer therapy. Natural product aconitine is a potential Hsp90 inhibitor reported in our previous work. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of 2-((1-phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-2-azabicyclo[3.

Discovery of N-phenyl-(2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine-5-sulfonamido) phenylurea-based thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitor as a novel multi-effects antitumor drugs with minimal toxicity.

Thymidylate synthase (TS) is a hot target for tumor chemotherapy, and its inhibitors are an essential direction for anti-tumor drug research. To our knowledge, currently, there are no reported thymidylate synthase inhibitors that could inhibit cancer cell migration. Therefore, for optimal therapeutic purposes, combines our previous reports and findings, we hope to obtain a multi-effects inhibitor.

The N-terminal zinc finger domain of Tgf2 transposase contributes to DNA binding and to transposition activity.

Active Hobo/Activator/Tam3 (hAT) transposable elements are rarely found in vertebrates. Previously, goldfish Tgf2 was found to be an autonomously active vertebrate transposon that is efficient at gene-transfer in teleost fish. However, little is known about Tgf2 functional domains required for transposition.

Prokaryotic expression and purification of soluble goldfish Tgf2 transposase with transposition activity.

Goldfish Tgf2 transposon of Hobo/Activator/Tam3 (hAT) family can mediate gene insertion in a variety of aquacultural fish species by transposition; however, the protein structure of Tgf2 transposase (TPase) is still poorly understood. To express the goldfish Tgf2 TPase in Escherichia coli, the 2061-bp coding region was cloned into pET-28a(+) expression vector containing an N-terminal (His)6-tag. The pET-28a(+)-Tgf2 TPase expression cassette was transformed into Rosetta 1 (DE3) E.
