Humanization of SLCO2B1 in rats increases rCYP3A1 protein expression but not the metabolism of erlotinib to OSI-420 [Metabolism, Transport, and Pharmacogenetics]

ASPET

Western blot analysis of rat liver lysates and microsomes confirmed higher rCYP3A1 protein expression in untreated SLCO2B1 +/+ compared to Slco2b1 -/ - rats. The contrary was observed, when microsomes isolated from treatment naive animals were assessed for the OSI-420 formation after erlotinib exposure.

Artesunate Suppresses the Migration and Invasion of Thyroid Cancer Cells via Upregulating PTEN to Block M2 Polarization of Tumor‐Associated Macrophages

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

ABSTRACT Immunotherapy holds promise for thyroid cancer (TC) treatment. The mRNA or protein expressions of examined genes were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction or Western blot. The viability, migration, and invasion of TC cells were detected by cell counting kit-8, wound healing, and transwell assays.

Investigation on the antipyretic mechanism of Chaiqin Qingning capsule for the treatment of fever based on network pharmacology, molecular docking, and in vitro experimental validation

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

We used an integrative methods to investigate and elucidate the molecular mechanism of Chaiqin Qingning capsule (CQQNC) in the treatment of fever. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of CQQNC in the treatment of fever. A total of 381 common targets have been crossed by CQQNC for the treatment of fever.

Matrine exerts an anti?tumor effect via regulating HN1 in triple breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

Matrine inhibits TNBC cell proliferation, migration and invasion, promotes apoptosis, and suppresses tumor growth through down-regulation of HN1 expression. Abstract The treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cannot meet medical needs, and it is urgent to find new drugs for intervention.

OKN-007 is an Effective Anticancer Therapeutic Agent Targeting Inflammatory and Immune Metabolism Pathways in Endometrial Cancer. [Drug Discovery and Translational Medicine]

ASPET

However, limited treatment options are available for those with recurrent disease, and there is a need to identify alternative treatment options for the advanced setting. Advanced-stage endometrial cancer patients typically receive a combination of platinum and paclitaxel chemotherapy.

Triptolide inhibits proliferation and invasion of colorectal cancer cells by blocking Nrf2 expression

Chemical Biology and Drug Design

As such, triptolide is expected to be a potential drug for colorectal cancer treatment. The protein expression levels of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, and MMP-9 were detected by western blotting. Its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of Nrf2 signaling.
