Dihydroartemisinin Modulates Prostate Cancer Progression by Regulating Multiple Genes via the Transcription Factor NR2F2.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on DU145 cells and the role of NR2F2 (COUP-TFII) and its potential target genes in this process.

Methods: GSE122625 was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the DHA-treated and control groups. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis was performed to identify hub genes, and the ChEA3 database was used to identify potential transcription factors.

Circ_0000566 contributes oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced human brain microvascular endothelial cell injury via regulating miR-18a-5p/ACVR2B axis.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) exert regulatory roles in cerebrovascular disease. Human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) participated in brain vascular dysfunction in ischemic stroke. Herein, the functions of circ_0000566 in oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R)-induced HBMECs were investigated.
