ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Transcription factor (TF) can bind specific sequences that either promotes or represses the transcription of target genes, and exerts important effects on tumorigenesis, migration, invasion. Staphylococcal nuclease-containing structural domain 1 (SND1), which is a transcriptional co-activator, is considered as a promising target for tumor therapy. However, its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. This study aims to explore the role of SND1 in LUAD.@*METHODS@#Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC), and Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database was obtained to explore the association between SND1 and the prognosis, as well as the immune cell infiltration, and subcellular localization in LUAD tissues. Furthermore, the functional role of SND1 in LUAD was verified in vitro. EdU assay, CCK-8 assay, flow cytometry, scratch assay, Transwell assay and Western blot were performed.@*RESULTS@#SND1 was found to be upregulated and high expression of SND1 is correlated with poor prognosis of LUAD patients. In addition, SND1 was predominantly present in the cytoplasm of LUAD cells. Enrichment analysis showed that SND1 was closely associated with the cell cycle, as well as DNA replication, and chromosome segregation. Immune infiltration analysis showed that SND1 was closely associated with various immune cell populations, including T cells, B cells, cytotoxic cells and dendritic cells. In vitro studies demonstrated that silencing of SND1 inhibited cell proliferation, invasion and migration of LUAD cells. Besides, cell cycle was blocked at G1 phase by down-regulating SND1.@*CONCLUSIONS@#SND1 might be an important prognostic biomarker of LUAD and may promote LUAD cells proliferation and migration.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To establish the mode of anterior cervical surgery in outpatient setting, and evaluate its preliminary effectiveness.@*METHODS@#A clinical data of patients who underwent anterior cervical surgery between January 2022 and September 2022 and met the selection criteria was retrospectively analyzed. The surgeries were performed in outpatient setting ( n=35, outpatient setting group) or in inpatient setting ( n=35, inpatient setting group). There was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05) in age, gender, body mass index, smoking, history of alcohol drinking, disease type, the number of surgical levels, operation mode, as well as preoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, visual analogue scale score of neck pain (VAS-neck), and visual analogue scale score of upper limb pain (VAS-arm). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, total hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay, and hospital expenses of the two groups were recorded; JOA score, VAS-neck score, and VAS-arm score were recorded before and immediately after operation, and the differences of the above indexes between pre- and post-operation were calculated. Before discharge, the patient was asked to score satisfaction with a score of 1-10.@*RESULTS@#The total hospital stay, postoperative hospital stay, and hospital expenses were significantly lower in the outpatient setting group than in the inpatient setting group ( P<0.05). The satisfaction of patients was significantly higher in the outpatient setting group than in the inpatient setting group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in operation time and intraoperative blood loss ( P>0.05). The JOA score, VAS-neck score, and VAS-arm score of the two groups significantly improved at immediate after operation when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the improvement of the above scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). The patients were followed up (6.67±1.04) months in the outpatient setting group and (5.95±1.90) months in the inpatient setting group, with no significant difference ( t=0.089, P=0.929). No surgical complications, such as delayed hematoma, delayed infection, delayed neurological damage, and esophageal fistula, occurred in the two groups.@*CONCLUSION@#The safety and efficiency of anterior cervical surgery performed in outpatient setting were comparable to that performed in inpatient setting. Outpatient surgery mode can significantly shorten the postoperative hospital stay, reduce hospital expenses, and improve the patients' medical experience. The key points of the outpatient mode of anterior cervical surgery are minimizing damage, complete hemostasis, no drainage placement, and fine perioperative management.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effects of etoricoxib combined with sodium hyaluronate on pain and inflammatory factors in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods:A total of 106 KOA patients admitted to Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University were selected as the research objects from March 2018 to October 2020, and they were divided into a control group and a study group using a random number table method, with 53 cases in each group. The control group was treated with sodium hyaluronate, and the study group was treated with etoricoxib on the basis of the control group. The effects of both groups were observed after continuous treatment for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy and changes of knee joint function, pain and inflammatory factors before and after treatment were compared between the two groups, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during the treatment period was recorded.Results:The total effective rate of the study group was higher than that of the control group: 92.45%(49/53) vs. 77.36%(41/53), the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The American Knee Association score (AKS) and Lysholm score after treatment in the two groups were higher than before treatment ( P<0.05), and the AKS score and Lysholm score in the study group after treatment were higher than control group: (171.84 ± 24.16) scores vs. (159.09 ± 22.21) scores, (81.62 ± 14.76) scores vs. (75.41 ± 13.58) scores, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The visual analogue score (VAS) of pain after treatment in the two groups was lower than before treatment, and the VAS score of the study group after treatment was lower than the control group: (3.01 ± 0.54) scores vs. (3.45 ± 0.64) scores. the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) after treatment in the two groups were lower than before treatment, TIL-1β, MMP-3, and MMP-9 of the study group after treatment were lower than the control group: (56.38 ± 9.67) μg/L vs. (62.19 ± 10.73) μg/L, (91.56 ± 15.18) μg/L vs. (98.09 ± 16.74) μg/L, (30.46 ± 5.59) μg/L vs. (35.03 ± 6.27) μg/L, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of total adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Tocoxib combined with sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of KOA can improve the clinical efficacy, improve knee joint function, relieve pain, reduce the level of inflammatory factors, and have good safety.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To revise the 2017 classification of irreducible intertrochanteric fractures and summarize reduction techniques of 2021 classification.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the 17 patients with irreducible intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine from January 2015 to December 2019. They were 7 males and 10 females, with an age of (73.2 ± 16.1) years. On the basis of 2017 classification, the irreducible intertrochanteric fractures were classified into 2 types in the present 2021 classification. Type Ⅰ were interlocking fractures which were further classified into 3 subtypes: type ⅠA were sagittal interlocking ones (7 cases), type ⅠB greater trochanter interlocking ones (one case) and type ⅠC lesser trochanter interlocking ones (one case). Type Ⅱ were separating fractures which were further classified into 4 subtypes: type ⅡA were sagittal separating ones (4 cases), type ⅡB coronal separating ones (one case), type ⅡC rotational separating ones(one case) and type ⅡD complete separating ones (2 cases). All patients were treated by closed reduction and intramedullary nailing with different reduction strategies corresponding to their fracture types (application of ejector rods, clamps or prying techniques, etc.). A total of 132 patients with reducible femoral intertrochanteric fracture who had been admitted during the same period were selected as the control group. The fracture reduction time, intraoperative blood loss and Harris hip score at the last follow-up were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference in their preoperative general data ( P>0.05). Type ⅠA accounted for the highest proportion of irreducible intertrochanteric fractures [41.3% (7/17)], followed by type ⅡA [23.6% (4/17)]. The fracture reduction time [(44.6 ± 6.7) min] in the irreducible group was significantly longer than that in the control group [(39.2 ± 9.6) min] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss or Harris hip score at the last follow-up between the 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the "2017 classification" , the "2021 classification" is more concise and easy to remember, and can directly prompt the corresponding proper fracture reduction techniques. The patients with irreducible intertrochanteric fracture using proper reduction techniques can obtain functional recovery similar to that in the patients with reducible intertrochanteric fracture after reduction and fixation.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#Long-term treatment of olanzapine, the most widely-prescribed second-generation antipsychotic, remarkably increases the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), whereas the mechanism for olanzapine-induced NAFLD remains unknown. Excessive hepatic fat accumulation is the basis for the pathogenesis of NAFLD, which results from the disturbance of TG metabolism in the liver. Apolipoprotein A5 (ApoA5) is a key regulator for TG metabolism in vivo that promotes TG accumulation in hepatocytes, thereby resulting in the development of NAFLD. However, there are no data indicating the role of apoA5 in olanzapine-induced NAFLD. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of apoA5 in olanzapine-induced NAFLD.@*METHODS@#This study was carried out via animal studies, cell experiment, and ApoA5 gene knockdown experiment. Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into a control group, a low-dose group, and a high-dose group, which were treated by 10% DMSO, 3 mg/(kg·d) olanzapine, and 6 mg/(kg·d) olanzapine, respectively for 8 weeks. The lipid levels in plasma, liver function indexes, and expression levels of ApoA5 were detected. HepG2 cells were treated with 0.1% DMSO (control group), 25 μmol/L olanzapine (low-dose group), 50 μmol/L olanzapine (medium-dose group), and 100 μmol/L olanzapine (high-dose group) for 24 h. HepG2 cells pretreated with 100 μmol/L olanzapine were transfected with siRNA and scrambled siRNA (negative control), respectively. We observed the changes in lipid droplets within liver tissues and cells using oil red O staining and fat deposition in liver tissues using HE staining. The mRNA and protein levels of ApoA5 were determined by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively.@*RESULTS@#After intervention with 3 and 6 mg/(kg·d) olanzapine for 8 weeks, there was no significant difference in body weight among the 3 groups (P>0.05). Olanzapine dose-dependently increased the plasma TG, ALT and AST levels, and reduced plasma ApoA5 levels (all P<0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in plasma cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C, and TC) levels among the 3 groups (all P>0.05). Olanzapine dose-dependently up-regulated ApoA5 protein levels in liver tissues (all P<0.05), but there was no significant change in ApoA5 mRNA expression among groups (P>0.05). In the control group, the structure of liver tissues was intact, the morphology of liver cells was regular, and only a few scattered lipid droplets were found in the cells. In the olanzapine-treated group, there was a large amount of lipid deposition in hepatocytes, and cells were balloon-like and filled with lipid droplet vacuoles. The nucleus located at the edge of cell, and the number of lipid droplets was increased significantly, especially in the high-dose group. Likewise, when HepG2 cells were treated with olanzapine for 24 h, the number and size of lipid droplets were significantly elevated in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, olanzapine dose-dependently up-regulated ApoA5 protein levels in HepG2 cells (all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in ApoA5 mRNA expression among groups (P>0.05). Compared with the HepG2 cells transfected with scrambled siRNA, the number and size of lipid droplets in HepG2 cells transfected with ApoA5 siRNA were significantly reduced.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The short-term intervention of olanzapine does not significantly increase body weight of mice, but it can directly induce hypertriglyceridemia and NAFLD in mice. Olanzapine inhibits hepatic apoA5 secretion but does not affect hepatic apoA5 synthesis, resulting in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. Inhibition of apoA5 secretion plays a key role in the development of olanzapine-related NAFLD, which may serve as an intervention target for this disease.

ABSTRACT

Additional sex combs-like 1 (ASXL1) interacts with BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) deubiquitinase to oppose the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1)-mediated histone H2A ubiquitylation. Germline BAP1 mutations are found in a spectrum of human malignancies, while ASXL1 mutations recurrently occur in myeloid neoplasm and are associated with poor prognosis. Nearly all ASXL1 mutations are heterozygous frameshift or nonsense mutations in the middle or to a less extent the C-terminal region, resulting in the production of C-terminally truncated mutant ASXL1 proteins. How ASXL1 regulates specific target genes and how the C-terminal truncation of ASXL1 promotes leukemogenesis are unclear. Here, we report that ASXL1 interacts with forkhead transcription factors FOXK1 and FOXK2 to regulate a subset of FOXK1/K2 target genes. We show that the C-terminally truncated mutant ASXL1 proteins are expressed at much higher levels than the wild-type protein in ASXL1 heterozygous leukemia cells, and lose the ability to interact with FOXK1/K2. Specific deletion of the mutant allele eliminates the expression of C-terminally truncated ASXL1 and increases the association of wild-type ASXL1 with BAP1, thereby restoring the expression of BAP1-ASXL1-FOXK1/K2 target genes, particularly those involved in glucose metabolism, oxygen sensing, and JAK-STAT3 signaling pathways. In addition to FOXK1/K2, we also identify other DNA-binding transcription regulators including transcription factors (TFs) which interact with wild-type ASXL1, but not C-terminally truncated mutant. Our results suggest that ASXL1 mutations result in neomorphic alleles that contribute to leukemogenesis at least in part through dominantly inhibiting the wild-type ASXL1 from interacting with BAP1 and thereby impairing the function of ASXL1-BAP1-TF in regulating target genes and leukemia cell growth.

ABSTRACT

The liver is the metabolic center of mammalian body. Systematic study on liver's proteome expression under different physiological and pathological conditions helps us understand the functional mechanisms of the liver. With the rapid development of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry technique, numerous studies on liver physiology and pathology features produced a large number of proteomics data. In this paper, 834 proteomics experiments of mouse liver were systematically collected and the mouse liver proteome database (Mouse Liver Portal, http://mouseliver.com) was established. The Mouse Liver Portal contains the liver's proteomics data under different physiology and pathology conditions, such as different gender, age, circadian rhythm, cell type and different phase of partial hepatectomy, non-alcoholic fatty liver. This portal provides the changes in proteins' expression in different conditions of the liver, differently expressed proteins and the biological processes which they are involved in, potential signal transduction and regulatory networks. As the most comprehensive mouse liver proteome database, it can provide important resources and clues for liver biology research.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore a method of modified incision to prevent the postoperative spinal lateral angulation via anterior approach for lumbar fracture.@*METHODS@#A total 40 patients with lumbar fracture from January 2016 to Jun 2017 were internalized in the study. Including 28 males and 12 females, aged from 27 to 68 years with an average of (39.5±14.9) years. Among them, 28 cases caused by high fall, 9 cases by heavy injury, 3 cases by traffic accidents; and 35 fractures were located at L₁,4 at L₂,1 at L₃. All the fractures were type A based on AO classification. According to Frankel classify of spinal cord injury, 5 cases were grade A, 1 case was B, 10 cases were C, 15 cases were D, 9 cases were E. The patients were divided randomly into modified incision groups and routine incision groups. All patients were treated with decompression, internal fixation and titanium mesh supported bone graft fusion via anterior approach. All the internal fixation materials were ANTERIOR (Medtronic Inc). Incision direction and incision plane were improved in modified incision groups. The coronal Cobb angle and the angle between the vertebral screw and the corresponding endplate were analyzed before and after operation.@*RESULTS@#Pre-and post-operative coronal Cobb angles were (1.20±3.26) °, ( 2.16±3.55)° in modified incision groups and(1.22±4.42)°, (3.91±3.78)° in routine incision groups respectively. And there was no statistical difference before operation, and there was statistical difference after operation between two groups(=0.017). There was no lateral angulation of more than 5 degrees in modified incision group, but there was lateral angulation of 5 to 10 degrees in routine incision group in 6 cases. The incidence of lateral angulation about 5 degrees after operation was significantly different between two groups (=0.010). There was significant difference in the angle between the proximal two vertebral screws and the corresponding endplate between two groups (0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The improvement of incision direction and plane can effectively prevent the postoperative spinal lateral angulation via anterior approach for lumbar fracture.

ABSTRACT

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula is one of the unique cultural treasures of Chinese. However, only a few studies have been carried out to deliver TCM formula with utilization of nanocarriers. The purpose of this study was to prepare the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin complex-over-a-poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticle (HP-β-CD-PLGA NP) for co-delivery and sequential release of five main effective ingredients of Danshen and Sanqi to a specific target, which can provide strategies for design of intelligent drug delivery system of TCM formula. PLGA can be employed as scaffolds for sustained release of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs. HP-β-CD could encapsulate the hydrophobic drugs by forming inclusion complexes. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) embedded inside PLGA nanoparticles that allow a spatio-specific targeting. HP-β-CD inclusion complex was prepared by an unsaturated alcohol solution method. PLGA NP loaded with SPION was obtained through double emulsion-organic solvents evaporation. Then core-shell PLGA nanosystem was formed by co-incubation of the above two materials. The nanoparticulate system was characterized by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), laser particle size instrument and transmission electron microscope. Magnetic property was determined by magnet adsorption and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Targeted distribution was investigated by cell uptake and sequential release of multiple components was observed by intracellular distribution of fluorescent probes. Release difference of five components between core and shell of HP-β-CD-PLGA NP was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. The results demonstrated that NP had a unique core-shell structure and possessed superpara-magnetism. Magnetic NP could be ingested site-specifically by L929 cells with the aid of magnetic field, and coumarin-6 and rhodamine B were released from NP sequentially in the L929 cells. In vitro release of multiple components of Danshen and Sanqi from NP exhibited double phase time-controlled release kinetics of quick-release shell and sustained-release core. Therefore, the spatio-temporal nanoplatform has a great capacity for unlocking the full therapeutic potential of displaying synergistic efficacy of TCM formula in the formulation design.

ABSTRACT

Primary hepatocytes are widely used in drug metabolism and toxicity assessment. As the culture of primary hepatocytes in vitro is a process of dedifferentiation, hepatocytes lose normal metabolic detoxification function gradually. The mechanism of hepatocyte dedifferentiation has been not clear so far. TFs play an important role in the dedifferentiation and non-parenchymal cells can maintain the function of hepatocytes in vitro. However, the current methods cannot be used in effective identification and quantitative analysis of a large number of TFs. In this paper, the mo-culture system (only primary hepatocytes) and co-culture system (primary hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells) were established. The cells were cultured for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h as monolayer. The changes of TFs during the culture were obtained by TOT (Transcription factor response elements on tip) transcription factor enrichment method and mass spectrometry. A total of 219 TFs were identified in three individual replicates. The result revealed that up-regulated TFs were enriched in cell proliferation, death and immune response pathways, and down-regulated TFs were involved in metabolism pathway. The establishment of such culture-TFs identification system is of great significance to reveal the mechanism of primary hepatocyte dedifferentiation and crosstalk between hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of Chinese medicine (CM) on survival of patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer (CRC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 295 patients who received chemotherapy were assigned to Group 1. The other 171 patients received the same chemotherapy treatment combined with the usage of CM Jianpi Jiedu Formula (, JPJD) for more than 3 months (Group 2). Patients' survival time, relapse and metastasis, and cause of death were observed.

ABSTRACT

With continued ozone deletion and increased ultraviolet application,ultraviolet (UV) induced eye injury receives more attention,especially for astronauts,residents on high elevation plateaus and other people exposed to intense beams of UV.Continuous exposure to UV can lead to damage of conjunctiva,cornea,crystalline lens and retina,which are correlated with conjunctivitis,keratitis,ocular tumor,climatic droplet keratopathy,and pterygium.This paper focuses on the effect of UV on eyes,with a systematic elaboration of UV-induced eye injury.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Bionic structure is one of the most important goals of scaffold design in tissue engineering. However, the majority of the bionic scaffolds do not have the capacity of sustained release of growth factors. OBJECTIVE:To fabricate a novel biomimetic nanofibrous heparin/gelatin scaffold and investigate the characterization of the scaffolds including the microstructure, the mechanical strength andin vitro recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) release. METHODS:Heparin-conjugated gelatin was prepared by chemical crosslinking and mixed with gelatin at different ratios. Nanofibrous composite scaffolds with different ratios of heparin-conjugated gelatin (0, 20% and 40%) were fabricated by using a thermaly induced phase separation combined with particle leaching technique. The amount of conjugated heparin in the scaffolds, scaffold microstructures and mechanical strength were detected and observed. The release kinetics of rhBMP-2 from the scaffolds with different concentrations of heparin conjugated gelatin was detected using ELISA method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The composite scaffolds possessed abundant porosities, good mechanical properties, and biomimetic nano-structures. The macroporous size was 250-420 μm. When the ratio of heparin-conjugated gelatin was 0, 20% and 40%, the content of heparin in the scaffolds was 0, (12.82±2.49) and (25.08±3.69) mg/g, respectively, with significant differences; the elastic modulus of the composite scaffolds was (299±38), (286±40) and (236±33) kPa, respectively, with insignificant differences (P > 0.05). With the increase in the content of heparin-conjugated gelatin, the rhBMP-2 adsorption capacity of the nanofibrous heparin/gelatin scaffold is improved, thereby significantly reducing the burst release of rhBMP-2 and prolonging the releasing time.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative oral midazolam on emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in children.Methods Sixty children,34 males,26 females, aged 2-7 years,ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,receiving sevoflurane for tonsillectomy/adenoidectomy were ran-domly divided into low dose midazolam group (group M1),high dose midazolam group (group M2) and control group (group C)(n=20 each).The 5 ml mixture of midazolam 0.5 mg/kg,0.75 mg/kg and 10% glucose was taken orally 30 min before anesthesia in group M1 and group M2,respectively. While 5 ml of 10% glucose was given in group C.Anesthesia was induced with inhalation of 8%sevoflurane and maintained with intravenous infusion of remifentanil and inhalation of sevoflurane. Scores of parental separation anxiety scale(PSAS),pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium scale (PAED scale),FLACC scale were compared.Times to extubation and discharge from PACU were al-so recorded.Results Group C showed significantly higher incidence of separation anxiety(P <0.05). The incidence of emergence agitation,peak PAED scores,FLACC scores,time to extubation were similar among three groups.Discharge time from PACU was longer in group M2 (P < 0.05). Conclusion Preoperative oral midazolam 0.5 mg/kg or 0.75 mg/kg can effectively reduce parental separation anxiety.This,however,dose not result in a reduced incidence of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia.Midazolam 0.75 mg/kg can extend the discharge time from PACU.

ABSTRACT

To explore the differential proteome pattern in mouse fibrosis liver in comparison to wild type. Mice were fed with carbon tetrachloride or olive oil vehicle for 15 weeks. Mouse livers from both groups were collected and submitted to MS platform for proteome screening. GO (Gene Ontology) biological process and KEGG (Kyoto Enyoolpedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway enrichment analysis were used to analyze differentially expressed proteins. As the results, we identified 17 382 and 20 486 unique peptides in control and carbon tetrachloride-induced groups, respectively. A total of 4 991 proteins (at least 1 unique peptide matched) were identified, of which 2 135 were differentially expressed (> or = 2 fold). In fibrosis mouse liver 1 264 proteins were up regulated and 871 proteins were down regulated. Proteins associated with DNA replication, cell cycle, ECM-receptor interaction, and splicesome were significantly increased in carbon tetrachloride-induced group. Proteins associated with small molecule metabolic process, protein transport, organonitrogen compound metabolic process, and tetrapyrrole biosynthetic processes were down regulated in carbon tetrachloride-induced mouse liver fibrosis tissue. Bioinformatics findings showed that fibrosis was closely related to the regulation of VEGF and T cell receptor signaling pathway, and further suggested that liver fibrosis was a complex signal transduction process that many biological processes such as liver metabolism, inflammation, and immune response are involved. Based this study, we can envision that protection of protein metabolism in liver parenchymal cells and blocking of inflammatory signaling transduction may be beneficial for liver fibrosis therapy.
