Abstract

Clinacanthus nutans (C. nutans) is a well-known herb in tropical Asia. Previous studies have reported the anticancer activity of C. nutans but the molecular mechanisms on cervical cancer are not fully understood. Therefore, our study aims to explore its effects on HeLa line and analyse the molecular interactions. Firstly, the RNA-Seq reads were processed for differentially expressed analyses. With Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) method, five cell death-related pathways with three significant genes (CASP9, FOXO4, TNFSF15) were identified. This study provides insight into the potential role of the DCM fraction of C. nutans mediating cell death mechanism in cervical cancer.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian Natural Products Research (JANPR) publishes chemical and pharmaceutical studies in the English language in the field of natural product research on Asian ethnic medicine. The journal publishes work from scientists in Asian countries, e.g. China, Japan, Korea and India, including contributions from other countries concerning natural products of Asia. The journal is chemistry-orientated. Major fields covered are: isolation and structural elucidation of natural constituents (including those for non-medical uses), synthesis and transformation (including biosynthesis and biotransformation) of natural products, pharmacognosy, and allied topics. Biological evaluation of crude extracts are acceptable only as supporting data for pure isolates with well-characterized structures. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two expert referees.
