Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteosarcoma is a primary malignancy originating from mesenchymal tissue characterized by rapid growth, early metastasis and poor prognosis. Ginsenoside Rg5 (G-Rg5) is a minor ginsenoside extracted from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer which has been discovered to possess anti-tumor properties. The objective of current study was to explore the mechanism of G-Rg5 in the treatment of osteosarcoma by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. METHODS Pharmmapper, SwissTargetPrediction and similarity ensemble approach databases were used to obtain the pharmacological targets of G-Rg5. Related genes of osteosarcoma were searched for in the GeneCards, OMIM and DrugBank databases. The targets of G-Rg5 and the related genes of osteosarcoma were intersected to obtain the potential target genes of G-Rg5 in the treatment of osteosarccoma. The STRING database and Cytoscape 3.8.2 software were used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID) platform was used to perform gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses. AutoDock vina software was used to perform molecular docking between G-Rg5 and hub targets. The hub genes were imported into the Kaplan-Meier Plotter online database for survival analysis. RESULTS A total of 61 overlapping targets were obtained. The related signaling pathways mainly included PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, Proteoglycans in cancer, Lipid and atherosclerosis and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infection. Six hub targets including PIK3CA, SRC, TP53, MAPK1, EGFR, and VEGFA were obtained through PPI network and targets-pathways network analyses. The results of molecular docking showed that the binding energies were all less than -7 kcal/mol. And the results of survival analysis showed TP53 and VEGFA affect the prognosis of sarcoma patients. CONCLUSION This study explored the possible mechanism of G-Rg5 in the treatment of osteosarcoma using network pharmacology method, suggesting that G-Rg5 has the characteristics of multi-targets and multi-pathways in the treatment of osteosarcoma, which lays a foundation for the follow-up experimental and clinical researches on the therapeutic effects of G-Rg5 on osteosarcoma.

Biochem Pharmacol 2023; 218:115865. [PMID: 37863322 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2023.115865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a prevalent degenerative disease with significant adverse implications for patients' quality of life and socioeconomic status. Although the precise etiology of IVDD remains elusive, the senescence of nucleus pulposus cells is recognized as the primary pathogenic factor of IVDD; however, drugs that may targetedly inhibit senescence are still lacking. In the current study, we evaluated the small-molecule active drug 20-Deoxyingenol(20-DOI) for its effects on combating senescence and delaying the progression of IVDD. In vitro experiments revealed that the administration of 20-DOI displayed inhibitory effects on senescence and the senescence-related cGAS-STING pathway of nucleus pulposus cells. Additionally, it exhibited the ability to enhance lysosome activity and promote autophagy flux within nucleus pulposus cells. Subsequent investigations elucidated that the inhibitory impact of 20-DOI on nucleus pulposus cell senescence was mediated through the autophagy-lysosome pathway. This effect was diminished in the presence of transcription factor EB (TFEB) small hairpin RNA (shRNA), thereby confirming the regulatory role of 20-DOI on the autophagy-lysosome pathway and senescence through TFEB. In vivo experiments demonstrated that 20-DOI effectively impeded the progression ofIVDD in rats. These findings collectively illustrate that 20-DOI may facilitate the autophagy-lysosomal pathway by activating TFEB, thereby suppressing the senescence in nucleus pulposus cells, thus suggesting 20-DOI as a promising therapeutic approach for IVDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intervertebral disc cell fibrosis has been established as a contributing factor to intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). This study aimed to identify fibrosis-related diagnostic genes for patients with IDD. METHODS RNA-sequencing data was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The diagnostic genes was identified using Random forest based on the differentially expressed fibrosis-related genes (DE-FIGs) between IDD and control samples. The immune infiltration states in IDD and the regulatory network as well as potential drugs targeted diagnostic genes were investigated. Quantitative Real-Time PCR was conducted for gene expression valifation. RESULTS CEP120 and SPDL1 merged as diagnostic genes. Substantial variations were observed in the proportions of natural killer cells, neutrophils, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells between IDD and control samples. Further experiments indicated that AC144548.1 could regulate the expressions of SPDL1 and CEP120 by combininghsa-miR-5195-3p and hsa-miR-455-3p, respectively. Additionally, transcription factors FOXM1, PPARG, and ATF3 were identified as regulators of SPDL1 and CEP120 transcription. Notably, 56 drugs were predicted to target these genes. The down-regulation of SPDL1 and CEP120 was also validated. CONCLUSION This study identified two diagnostic genes associated with fibrosis in patients with IDD. Additionally, we elucidated their potential regulatory networks and identified target drugs, which offer a theoretical basis and reference for further study into fibrosis-related genes involved in IDD.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) refers to the aging and degenerative diseases of intervertebral disc components such as nucleus pulposus, annulus fibrosus, and cartilage endplate, and is the main cause of chronic low back pain. Over the past few years, many researchers around the world concerned that the degeneration of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells plays the main role in IVDD. The degeneration of NP cells is caused by a series of pathological processes, including oxidative stress, inflammatory response, apoptosis, abnormal proliferation, and autophagy. Interestingly, many studies have found a close relationship between the senescence of NP cells and the progression of NP degeneration. The classical aging pathways also have been confirmed to be involved in the pathological process of IVDD. Moreover, several anti-aging drugs have been used to treat IVDD by inhibiting NP cells senescence, such as proanthocyanidins, resveratrol and bone morphogenetic protein 2. Therefore, this article will systematically list and discuss aging, cell senescence, the pathogenesis and targeted therapies of IVDD, in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of IVDD in the future.
