Aim: Search for key molecules to influence the tumor-targeted IFN-alpha2a-NGR anti-tumor sensitivity through signaling pathway study. Try to enhance the antitumor efficacy of IFN-alpha2a-NGR.

Methods: MTT method was used to determine the growth inhibitory effects of IFN-alpha2a-NGR on A549 and MKN-45 cells. Flow cytometry and Western blot were employed to detect the expression of STAT1, p-STAT1, p53, OAS and SOCS1; SOCS1 gene knock down was carried out by synthesized siRNA.

Results: When stimulated with IFN-alpha2a-NGR, the increased expression of STAT1, p-STAT1, p53, OAS and SOCS1 were observed in A549 cells, but only SOCS1 was notably increased in MKN-45 cells. The proliferation inhibition ability of MKN-45 to IFN-alpha2a-NGR was promoted by SOCS1 knocking down. (the inhibition rate was enhanced from 14.69%+/-1.05% to 36.97%+/-2.05%).

Conclusion: This study has further demonstrated that there were no differences on antitumor effects between IFN-alpha2a-NGR and IFN-alpha2a on cell or molecular level. Besides interferon-alpha receptor (IFNAR) which has been demonstrated before, p-STAT1, p53 and SOCS1 were important determinants of tumor resistance to IFNs therapy. The antitumor efficacy of IFN-alpha2a-NGR can be enhanced by RNA interference. These results might be helpful for the further development of IFN-alpha2a-NGR.

Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), an effective antimalarial drug, has been widely investigated as an anti-tumor agent. Although previous studies have indicated the potential therapeutic effects of DHA on multiple malignancies, its detailed molecular mechanisms in gastric cancer (GC) are still undocumented. In the present study, we applied network pharmacology and bioinformatics (gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses) to obtain the collective targets of DHA and GC and analyzed their involvement in constructing a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) play major roles in neurological recovery after cerebral infarction (CI). This study was trying to investigate whether miR-200a, a vital regulator in cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis, also has a role in oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) injured NSCs. In this study, primary NSCs were subjected to OGD/R conditions to mimic an in vitro CI model.
