Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone malignancy because of its extra high tendency of metastasis. In-depth research is needed to uncover the pathogenesis of patients with OS cells. We collected 74 tissue samples from patients with OS cells and measured the expression levels of ghrelin by immunohistochemistry. Ghrelin was added into OS cell lines in CCK8 assays, JC-1 staining and Western blot analysis were performed to explore its effect on the aggressiveness of OS cells and drug resistance. To determine its function, ghrelin was overexpressed or knocked down in OS cells and then detect cell proliferation in the xenograft mouse model and orthotopic model. Western blot analysis was performed to explore ghrelin-regulated signal pathways. In this work, we identified the relation between the level of ghrelin expression and poor prognosis of OS patients. As well as promoting proliferation, migration, and invation, ghrelin promotes the survival of OS in vitro as well as in vivo, and reduces the apoptosis of OS cells. What's more, ghrelin increases the resistance of cis-platinum by changing mitochondrial function and decreases the expression of MDR-1. Above all, these results demonstrated ghrelin exerts tumorigenic and metastatic effects and may be a potential therapeutic target.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Guanxin II, proposed by Chen Keji (National master of traditional Chinese medicine), possesses cerebral-protective effect. Interestingly, its simplified prescription Danshen-Chuanxiong-Honghua (DCH) can also clinically ameliorate cerebral impairment and improve spatial cognitive deficits, similar to original formula's function.
Aim Of The Study: We aimed to elucidate the rationality of DCH's natural existence, qualitatively identify DCH-derived phytochemicals, thereby validate cerebral protective effect, and expose potential mechanism of DCH and its main absorbed compound ferulic acid (FA).
Genetic factors contribute to the development of metabolic syndrome and subsequent arterial hypertension (AH). The study of the T786C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene in arterial hypertension is important as its correlation with adipokine imbalance is a novelty area to find associations between hypertension development, obesity, and heredity. The purpose of the current study was to investigate serum adipokines levels, depending on the T786C polymorphism of the eNOS in patients with arterial hypertension.

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic disease caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, and the immunosuppressive microenvironment exacerbates disease progression. Ghrelin, a peptide hormone, plays a role in modulating immune inflammation and may influence the progression of E. granulosus infection through its receptor, GHSR (growth hormone secretagogue receptor).

The danger posed by waterborne toxicity from herbicides endangers the aquatic ecosystem. Using dietary medicinal herbs is a useful approach to mitigate the effects of herbicide toxicity on aquatic animals. This study attempts to examine the consequences and potential mechanisms behind the dietary addition of horseradish tree (Moringa oleifera) leaf extract (MOLE) with the help of phytase addition to check the overall growth performance, biochemical changes, histological alteration, and gene expression in normal and after glyphosate challenge in Nile tilapia.
