Recent research has highlighted the therapeutic potential of citrus-derived dietary 5,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone (TMF) against HeLa cancer. Our study aims to elucidate its mechanisms of action through proteomics analysis, network pharmacology, and molecular docking. The results suggested that TMF demonstrated efficacy by upregulating CD40, CD40L, Fas, Fas-L, HSP27, HSP60, IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2, IGF-1sR, Livin, p21, p27, sTNFR2, TRAILR2, TRAILAR3, TRAILR4, XIAP, p-Sre, p-Stat1, p-Stat2 p-c-Fos, p-SMAD1, p-SMAD2, p-SMAD4, p-SMAD5, p-IκBα, p-MSK1, p-NFκB, p-TAK1, p-TBK1, p-ZAP70, and p-MSK2, while downregulating p-EGFR, p-ATF2, p-cJUN, p-HSP27, p-JNK, and p-GSK3A. These targets are primarily involved in MAPK, apoptosis, and TNF signaling pathways. Notably, p21, p27, EGFR, SMAD4, JNK, ATF2, and c-JUN merged as pivotal targets contributing to TMF's anti-cancer efficacy against HeLa cells. This study is first to delineate the potential signaling pathways and core targets of TMF in treating of HeLa cancer, paving the way for further exploration of TMF's medical potential.

Objective: Cervical cancer is a common malignancy among women, and radiotherapy remains a primary treatment modality across all disease stages. However, resistance to radiotherapy frequently results in treatment failure, highlighting the need to identify novel therapeutic targets to improve clinical outcomes.
Methods: The expression of molecule interacting with CasL-2 (MICAL2) was confirmed in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines through western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Osteogenic differentiation is crucial in normal bone formation and pathological calcification, such as calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD). Understanding the proteomic and transcriptomic landscapes underlying this differentiation can unveil potential therapeutic targets for CAVD. In this study, we employed RNA sequencing transcriptomics and proteomics on a timsTOF Pro platform to explore the multiomics profiles of valve interstitial cells (VICs) and osteoblasts during osteogenic differentiation.

Nuclear actin polymerization was reported to control different nuclear processes, but its regulation is poorly understood. Here, we show that N-WASP can trigger the formation of nuclear N-WASP/F-actin nodules. While a cancer hotspot mutant of N-WASP lacking the VCA domain (V418fs) had a dominant negative function on nuclear F-actin, an even shorter truncation mutant found in melanoma (R128*) strongly promoted nuclear actin polymerization.
