Integrated network pharmacology and metabolomics reveal the action mechanisms of vincristine combined with celastrol against colon cancer.

Colon cancer is associated with a high mortality rate. Vincristine (VCR) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug. Celastrol (CEL) is an effective component which exerts inhibitory effects on colon cancer.

[HPTLC fingerprint analysis of andrographolides from Andrographis paniculata].

Objective: To establish the high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint of andrographolides from Andrographis paniculata, and to valuate the fingerprint similarity of samples from different habitats, markets, used parts and so on.

Methods: Chromatographic conditions were as follows: stationary phase: precoated HPTLC GF254 silica-gel plate (20 cm x 10 cm); developing solvent system: chloroform-toluene-methanol (80:10:15); Relative humidity: 42%; Color development reagent: 5% H2SO4 ethanolic solution, heating at 105 degrees C and observing the fluorescent chromatogram in a UV cabinet at 366 nm. The common patterns of HPTLC fingerprint were obtained through CHROMAP 1.

[Overexpression of PEMT2 inhibits the phosphorylation and translocation of PLC gamma 1].

Objectives: To explore the mechanism of CBRH-7919 cell proliferation inhibition by transfecting phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase 2 gene (PEMT2).

Methods: The effects of PEMT2 transfection on phosphorylation and translocation from cytosol to plasma membrane of PLC gamma 1 in cells were studied using SDS-PAGE and Western blot techniques. The phosphorylation and activity of c-Met were determined.
