Osteosarcoma (OS) is closely related to the dysregulation of various intracellular signaling pathways, especially the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Reportedly, HSP90 was responsible for phospho-Akt stabilization, and both AKT1 and HSP90 were upregulated within osteosarcoma. Herein, we demonstrated that AKT1 and HSP90 mRNA and protein expression were upregulated within osteosarcoma tissues and cells; AKT1 knockdown significantly inhibited OS cell viability. HSP90 knockdown suppressed the phosphorylation of AKT1, decreased ki-67 and Vimentin protein levels, enhanced p21 and E-cadherin protein levels, and inhibited OS cell proliferation and migration; AKT1 overexpression exerted opposing effects and significantly attenuated the effects of HSP90 knockdown. miR-485-5p targeted AKT1 and HSP90 3'-UTR to inhibit AKT1 and HSP90 expression. miR-485-5p overexpression dramatically reduced AKT1, HSP90, and ki-67 proteins, increased E-cadherin protein levels, and inhibited OS cell proliferation and migration. In conclusion, HSP90 knockdown blocked the phosphorylation of AKT1 suppressing the proliferation and migration capacity of OS cells via the PI3K/AKT pathway; miR-485-5p binds to HSP90 and AKT1 in their 3'-UTR to inhibit HSP90 and AKT1 expression, therefore exerting a tumor suppressor function within osteosarcoma.

Previously, we have shown that endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) dimer levels directly correlate with the interaction of eNOS with hsp90 (heat shock protein 90). Further, the disruption of eNOS dimerization correlates with its redistribution to the mitochondria. However, the causal link between these events has yet to be investigated and was the focus of this study.

Glioblastoma multiform (GBM) is categorized as the most malignant subtype of gliomas, which comprise nearly 75% of malignant brain tumors in adults. Increasing evidence suggests that network pharmacology will be a novel method for identifying the systemic mechanism of therapeutic compounds in diseases like cancer. The present study aimed to use a network pharmacology approach to establish the predictive targets of sciadopitysin against GBM and elucidate its biological mechanisms.

Research Question: Does dexpanthenol work as an effective therapeutic agent against cyclophosphamide (CYC)-induced premature ovarian failure (POF) in rats?
Design: A total of 28 female Wistar Albino rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 7 per group). The POF and POF plus dexpanthenol groups were intraperitoneally administered CYC at an initial dose of 50 mg/kg, followed by 8 mg/kg for 14 days. The dexpanthenol and POF plus dexpanthenol groups were both intraperitoneally administered dexpanthenol at a dose of 500 mg/kg/day for 15 days.
