The Mechanism by Which Ameliorates Osteoarthritis: A Work Based on Network Pharmacology.

Background: (CR) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to prevent and treat a variety of diseases. However, its functions and mechanism of action in osteoarthritis (OA) has not been elucidated. Here, a comprehensive strategy combining network pharmacology, molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulation and in vitro experiments was used to address this issue.

Adriamycin resistance-associated prohibitin gene inhibits proliferation of human osteosarcoma MG63 cells by interacting with oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes.

The resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents is a major obstacle for successful chemotherapy, and the mechanism of chemoresistance remains unclear. The present study developed an adriamycin-resistant human osteosarcoma MG-63 sub-line (MG-63/ADR), and identified differentially expressed proteins that may be associated with adriamycin resistance. Two dimensional gel electrophoresis, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis and a protein identification assay were performed.
