Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) drugs used in cancer treatment can cause various adverse effects, including hepatotoxicity. Natural-derived constituents have shown promising effects in alleviating chemotherapy-induced toxicities. This study addressed the effect of Avenanthramides-C (AVN-C) treatment in rats with DOX-indued hepatotoxicity.
Methods: AutoDock Vina was used for the molecular docking investigations. toxicity prediction for AVN-C and DOX was performed using the Pro Tox-III server. Four groups of ten male Sprague-Dawley rats were created: Group 1 (Gp1) served as a negative control, Gp2 received an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of AVN-C (10 mg/kg), Gp3 received an i.p. dose of DOX (4 mg/kg) weekly for a month, and Gp4 received the same dose of DOX as G3 and AVN-C as G2. Histopathological, molecular, and biochemical analyses were conducted 1 month later.
Results: The study showed that treatment with AVN-C significantly ameliorated DOX-induced hepatotoxicity in rats by restoring biochemical alterations, boosting antioxidant activity, reducing inflammation, and modulating the Akt/GSK-3β and Wnt-4/β-Catenin signaling pathways in male rats.
Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate the therapeutic effects of AVN-C therapy on DOX-induced liver damage in male rats. Therefore, AVN-C could have a pronounced palliative effect on the hepatotoxicity caused by DOX treatment. These findings suggest that AVN-C could potentially alleviate the hepatotoxicity associated with DOX-based chemotherapy.

Objectives: To investigate the expression of cartilage acidic protein 1 (CRTAC1) in gastric cancer (GC) and its effect on biological behaviors and immune cell infiltration of GC.
Methods: Transcriptomic, GO and KEGG analyses were conducted to investigate the association of CRTAC1 expression with prognosis of GC patients and its involvement in cell function and signaling pathways. ESTIMATE algorithm was used to analyze the effect of CRTAC1 expression on the tumor microenvironment and the tumor mutation load.

Background: Neuropathic pain (NeP) presents considerable challenges in terms of effective management and significantly impacts the quality of life for affected patients. The current treatment options for NeP are limited, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic approaches. Dahuang Fuzi Decoction (DF), a formula from traditional Chinese medicine, has shown potential in relieving pain symptoms associated with various types of NeP.

Prospermatogonia (ProSGs), the progenitors of spermatogonial stem cells in neonatal testes, undergo critical migration to the testicular microenvironment-a fundamental process for testicular development and subsequent spermatogenic capacity. The SDF-1/CXCR4 chemokine axis serves as an essential molecular guidance mechanism, directing ProSGs toward the basal membrane of seminiferous tubules. Nevertheless, the precise molecular mechanisms governing this axis remain incompletely understood.
