COL8A1 overexpression promotes glioma cell growth by activating focal adhesion kinase signaling cascade.

NPJ Precis Oncol

November 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Affiliated Nanjing Brain Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the role of collagen type VIII alpha-1 chain (COL8A1) in gliomas, revealing that its overexpression in glioma tissues is linked to worse patient outcomes.
  • - Reducing COL8A1 levels in glioma cells through shRNA or knockout decreased cell survival, growth, and movement, while also triggering cell death.
  • - In animal models, a lack of COL8A1 inhibited tumor growth and affected key signaling pathways related to cancer progression, suggesting that COL8A1 encourages glioma cell proliferation.

Background: Severe neurological condition like Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a significantly negative impact on families and society, wherein there is no proven cure. As one of the principal active constituents of Blume, ecdysterone (ECR) has demonstrated antioxidant and cognitive dysfunction improvement effects. Nonetheless, the mechanism underlying the improvement of cognitive dysfunction by ECR remains unclear.

Objective: To study the therapeutic mechanism of (LQF) for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) based on GEO database and network pharmacology.

Methods: LQF and DKD targets were obtained using the databases including GEO, TCMSP, CNKI, ChemDraw, and SwissTarget Prediction, and LQF-DKD intersection targets were obtained with VENNY. String was used for protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis, and R package for KEGG and GO enrichment analysis.
