Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes in Human Colorectal Cancer Using RNASeq Data Validated on the Molecular Level with Real-Time PCR.

Bioinformatics tools identified early detection biomarkers for colorectal cancer and explored plant extract as a chemotherapy alternative. Three diagnostic markers identified, with positive trends in gene expression and therapeutic value. Further trials required. Precise and robust analysis workflow valuable for CRC diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Potential anticancer properties and mechanisms of thymoquinone in colorectal cancer.

Thymoquinone (TQ) from Nigella sativa has anti-cancer properties against colorectal cancer. It can enhance existing cancer treatments and reduce adverse effects. More research is needed to understand its molecular targets and improve its clinical usefulness in overcoming drug resistance and obstacles in chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Cepharanthine, a regulator of keap1-Nrf2, inhibits gastric cancer growth through oxidative stress and energy metabolism pathway.

Cepharanthine (CEP) derived from Stephania Cephalantha Hayata inhibits gastric cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. It also regulates oxidative stress and alters energy metabolism, suggesting potential for gastric cancer treatment.
