The chemical components of Spatholobi Caulis tannin (SCT) have a modest therapeutic effect in patients with cervical cancer. However, the active components and the mechanism of action of SCT in HeLa cervical cancer cells need to be further studied. In this paper, 3D microfluidic chip technology was applied to simulate the effects of tannins in the human body, and the appropriate dose and time of administration were calculated. The cell cycle and apoptosis experiments demonstrated that SCT inhibits proliferation and stimulated apoptosis in HeLa cells. The differentially expressed genes were screened using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the GEO databases to identify common differentially expressed genes. A bioinformatic analysis of relevant genes, analysis using the molecular docking technique, and survival analysis were used to predict the target genes of SCT. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) associated with the SCT target genes and the regulatory effects of SCT on these circRNAs were determined. These studies showed that SCT mediates related circRNAs in HeLa cells to inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis in HeLa cells. Thus, SCT may be an effective strategy for treating cervical cancer.
苏木茎单宁(SCT)的化学成分对宫颈癌患者有一定的治疗作用。然而,SCT在人乳头瘤病毒18型(HeLa)宫颈癌细胞中的活性成分及作用机制尚需进一步研究。本文应用三维微流控芯片技术模拟单宁在人体内的作用效果,并计算出合适的给药剂量和时间。细胞周期和凋亡实验表明,SCT可抑制HeLa细胞增殖并诱导其凋亡。利用癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)和基因表达综合数据库(GEO)筛选差异表达基因,以鉴定共同的差异表达基因。通过对相关基因进行生物信息学分析、运用分子对接技术进行分析以及生存分析来预测SCT的靶基因。确定了与SCT靶基因相关的环状RNA(circRNA)以及SCT对这些circRNA的调控作用。这些研究表明,SCT通过介导HeLa细胞中的相关circRNA来抑制HeLa细胞增殖并促进其凋亡。因此,SCT可能是治疗宫颈癌的一种有效策略。
