Based on the network pharmacological analysis, XHDCT chemical constituents and targets of each chemical constituent were screened through the TCMSP database, and differential-expressed genes of bronchial asthma were obtained from the GEO database, which were intersected to get XHDCT potential anti-inflammatory targets. The key anti-inflammatory targets of XHDCT were acquired by protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis of the candidate targets. Bronchial asthma mouse models were established and the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed. Serum IgE levels were tested. Total cells and eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were counted. The expression of Th2-associated cytokines (interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, and IL-13) and chemokines (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and eotaxin) in BALF were measured. The targeting relationship between miR-107-3p and PTGS2 was tested. XHDCT delayed bronchial asthma inflammation in in-vivo asthma mouse models. A total of 155 active ingredients and their 341 targets were intersected with bronchial asthma-relevant genes, obtaining 20 potential targets of XHDCT for bronchial asthma treatment. Based on the PPI and “drug-component-target” network diagram, PTGS2 was found to be in a central position. PTGS2 was downregulated and miR-107-3p was upregulated in bronchial asthma mice after XHDCT treatment. PTGS2 overexpression activated the MAPK signaling pathway to promote inflammation in bronchial asthma mice, whereas inflammatory symptoms were reduced and the MAPK signaling pathway was inhibited after XHDCT treatment. miR-107-3p was an upstream regulatory miRNA for PTGS2. After miR-107-3p interference, the activation of the PTGS2/MAPK axis promoted inflammation in bronchial asthma mice, whereas the inflammatory symptoms were reduced after XHDCT treatment.

LUAD datasets were downloaded from public databases. Differential expression analysis was performed to screen DEGs, and prognostic modules were constructed by Cox regression.

The transformation of metabolic patterns is particularly pronounced in HCC, often leading to a high dependence of HCC cells on glycolysis. However, up to now, the underlying relationship between serine metabolism and HCC metastasis remains largely unknown. Through a series of bioinformatics methods, we reported CCT6A, a serine related gene, was particularly associated with metastatic events of HCC. We furtherly demonstrated that CCT6A was highly expressed in HCC cells with high metastatic potential. Gain- and loss-of-function analyses showed that CCT6A could promote HCC cells migration and invasion. Mechanistically, CCT6A was found to be interacted with RPS3, and might potentiate the metastasis of HCC by affecting some metabolic processes.
