Integrated transcriptomics and molecular docking identify hub genes and statin regulators in Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric mucosal pathogenesis. (PubMed, Front Cell Infect Microbiol)
To explore potential therapeutic interventions, we performed small-molecule drug prediction and molecular docking for hub genes revealed: Simvastatin: Linked to CCL20, NFKBIA, and ICAM1. Atorvastatin: Associated with CDKN1A, ICAM1, and TNF. TPCA-1: Targeting JAK1. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for further investigation into the molecular mechanisms underlying H. pylori-related diseases.

Paeonol alleviates atherosclerosis by inhibiting CD8+ T-cell activation via targeting the SYK/NFATc1 signaling pathway in ApoE-/- mice. (PubMed, J Ethnopharmacol)
SYK in CD8+ T-cells represents a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis. Pae inhibits atherosclerosis by blocking the SYK/NFATc1 pathway to reduce cytotoxic mediator release and prevent vascular endothelial cell injury.

The TRIB1-PPARγ Axis Regulates Cholesterol Metabolism in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Ann N Y Acad Sci)
Furthermore, in vivo experiments indicate that PDAC tumors with high TRIB1 expression were more sensitive to the HMGCR inhibitor atorvastatin. Collectively, our findings highlight the critical role of the TRIB1-PPARγ-HMGCR axis in the metabolic rewiring of PDAC and suggest that TRIB1 may serve as a predictive biomarker for optimizing statin-based metabolic therapies.

Transcriptional and Pathway Level Heterogeneity in Luminal A Breast Cancer: A Framework for Precision Therapy. (PubMed, Arch Med Res)
Our integrative multi-omics analysis reveals the complex molecular architecture of Luminal A breast cancer, characterized by transcriptional and pathway-level heterogeneity. The findings advocate for subtype-specific therapeutic interventions targeting transcription factor networks, redox balance, and the tumor microenvironment. This systems-level framework provides a foundation for precision risk stratification and treatment optimization in Luminal A breast cancer.
