Unlabelled: remains a non-negligible global zoonosis, imposing serious socio-economic burdens in endemic regions. The interplay between gut microbiota and the host transcriptome is crucial for maintaining health; however, the impact of juvenile infection on these factors is still poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate their relationship and potential pathogenic mechanisms.

Aims: Our aims were to reveal the role of GAS5 in the regulation of liver fibrosis.
Methods: LX-2 human hepatic satellite cells (HSCs) were cultured and activated using TGF-β1 treatment.
Based on the mechanism of action, novel scaffolds as Topo I inhibitors bearing indole and sophoridinine were designed. Preliminary docking study revealed that some molecules among the designed series possessed promising Topo I inhibitor properties. Subsequently, thirty new compounds were synthesized and characterized by H NMR, C NMR, and Mass spectral analyses.
