ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the role of NDC80 kinetochore complex component （NUF2） and magnesium homeostasis in ovarian cancer cell apoptosis， as well as the regulatory mechanism of gypenoside L （Gyp-L） on NUF2 and magnesium homeostasis. MethodsOvarian cancer OVCAR3 cells were divided into a blank control group， a low-concentration Gyp-L group （50 µmol·L^-1）， a high-concentration Gyp-L group （100 µmol·L^-1）， and a cisplatin （15 µmol·L^-1） group. The migration， proliferation， and apoptosis capabilities of OVCAR3 cells were evaluated through cell scratch assays， clonal experiments， and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay （TUNEL） staining. Differentially expressed genes of ovarian cancer were screened by using the Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） database. The interaction relationships of differentially expressed genes and proteins were analyzed via the Search Tool for Recurring Instances of Neighbouring Genes （STRING） database. The prognostic survival analysis was performed by using the Tumor Immune Estimation Resource （TIMER） database， and the differential expression levels of genes were validated with the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis （GEPIA） database. The mRNA expression levels of NUF2， magnesium homeostasis-related indicators， such as magnesium transporter 1 （MAGT1）， non-imprinted in Prader-Willi/Angelman syndrome 1 （NIPA1）， NIPA-like domain containing 1 （NIPAL1）， as well as apoptosis-related indicators B cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2） and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） in OVCAR3 cells， were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. The protein expression levels of NUF2， MAGT1， NIPA1， NIPAL1， Bcl-2， and Bax in OVCAR3 cells were quantitatively analyzed by ProteinSimple WES. A model of overexpression of NUF2 was constructed， and Gyp-L intervention was performed. The molecular mechanism by which Gyp-L induces ovarian cancer cell apoptosis by regulating NUF2 and influencing magnesium homeostasis was quantitatively analyzed and detected through cell cloning， TUNEL staining， Real-time PCR， and ProteinSimple WES. Finally， the Mg²⁺ content and protein synthesis efficiency were detected by immunofluorescence. ResultsGyp-L significantly inhibited the migration and proliferation capabilities of OVCAR3 cells and promoted their apoptosis （P<0.05）. Overexpression of NUF2 markedly increased the expression levels of MAGT1， NIPA1， NIPAL1， and Bcl-2， while reducing the expression level of Bax （P<0.05）. It also significantly elevated intracellular Mg²⁺ content and protein synthesis efficiency and simultaneously inhibited apoptosis （P<0.05）. Gyp-L could reverse the magnesium homeostasis imbalance and apoptosis inhibition caused by the overexpression of NUF2， downregulating the expression levels of NUF2， MAGT1， NIPA1， NIPAL1， and Bcl-2 （P<0.05）， while upregulating the expression level of Bax （P<0.05）. ConclusionGyp-L can inhibit the occurrence of ovarian cancer， and its mechanism may involve inhibiting the expression of NUF2 to maintain magnesium homeostasis and inducing apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of CYP2C19 gene polymorphism on platelet function and inflammatory cytokines in elderly patients with ischemic stroke， and to analyze potential factors associated with poor prognosis. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on elderly patients with ischemic stroke admitted to our hospital from June 2024 to June 2025， wh o underwent CYP2C19 genotype testing and received antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel. The levels of platelet function indicators and inflammatory cytokines before and after treatment were compared among patients with different metabolic phenotypes. Based on the prognosis at 6 months post-treatment， patients were divided into poor prognosis group and good prognosis group. Univariate analysis was performed on general data， metabolic phenotype， the levels of platelet function indicators and inflammatory cytokines. Variables with P ＜0.05 and the levels of inflammatory cytokines before treatment were included in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify independent risk factors for poor prognosis. Multiple linear regression was used to further analyze the relationship between metabolic phenotypes and inflammatory cytokines. RESULTS A total of 448 elderly patients with ischemic stroke were included； among them， 162 cases were normal metabolic phenotype， 218 were intermediate metabolic phenotype， and 68 were poor metabolic phenotype. No rapid or ultrarapid metabolic phenotypes were observed. After treatment， platelet aggregation rate， the levels of P-selectin and platelet activated complex-1 （PAC-1）， high-sensitivity C-reactive Protein （hs-CRP）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the normal metabolic phenotype group， intermediate metabolic phenotype group， and poor metabolic phenotype group （except for platelet aggregation rate， and the levels of P-selectin and PAC-1 in the poor metabolic phenotype group） were significantly lower than those before treatment in the same group. Moreover， the above indicators in the normal metabolic phenotype group were significantly lower than those in the intermediate and poor metabolic phenotype groups at the corresponding time， and the levels of platelet function indicators in the intermediate metabolic phenotype group were significantly lower than those in the poor metabol ic phenotype group at the corresponding time （ P ＜0.05）. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that combined with hypertension， combined with diabetes mellitus， and intermediate or poor metabolic genotypes were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in elderly patients with ischemic stroke （ P ＜0.05）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum levels of hs-CRP， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α before treatment were significantly higher in patients with intermediate and poor metabolic genotypes compared to those with normal metabolic genotype （ P ＜0.05）， with a greater magnitude of increase in inflammatory cytokines observed in the patients with poor metabolic genotype. CONCLUSIONS The elderly ischemic stroke patients with CYP2C19 intermediate and poor metabolic genotypes have poor inhibition effect on platelet and higher levels of inflammatory cytokines than normal metabolic genotype； CYP2C19 gene polymorphism， and in combination with hypertension and diabetes， can be used as independent predictors of poor prognosis.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a distinct subpopulation of cells characterized by self-renewal capacity, differentiation potential, and critical roles in driving tumor progression, therapeutic resistance, recurrence, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. Targeting CSCs has emerged as a pivotal direction in cancer research, offering novel strategies to overcome drug resistance and prevent metastasis and relapse. Lysosomes, traditionally recognized as central organelles for intracellular degradation and recycling, are indispensable for cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of lysosomal function is intimately linked to various diseases, including cancer. In tumors, aberrant lysosomal activity can promote malignant progression through mechanisms such as altering metabolic pathways, enhancing lysosomal exocytosis, modulating drug resistance, and interfering with autophagy-lysosomal pathways. Recent studies have underscored the involvement of lysosomes in regulating CSC properties. This review synthesizes findings on lysosomal regulation of CSCs through the following aspects. (1) Lysosomes exert complex and critical bidirectional control over CSC stemness maintenance through three degradation pathways that are dependent on their degradative function. (i) The lysophagy pathway. This pathway exhibits dual roles. Activation can sustain CSC functions; for instance, in glioblastoma, hypoxia upregulates Gal-8 via the STAT3/HIF1α signaling axis to induce autophagy, supporting stem cell survival. In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, degradation of GSK3β activates the Wnt pathway, enhancing stemness. Conversely, this pathway can suppress stemness by degrading stemness-related proteins such as BMI-1 and OCT4A, thereby impairing CSC self-renewal capacity. (ii) Mitophagy pathway. In non-small cell lung cancer stem cells, mitophagy-related mechanisms, such as the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) activating the TLR9-Notch1-AMPK signaling axis, have been shown to promote CSC proliferation. (iii) Autophagosome-dependent lysosomal degradation pathway. This pathway directly regulates stemness-related proteins in a bidirectional manner. Enhanced degradative function can promote CSC properties, exemplified by the degradation of NUMB to activate Notch signaling. Conversely, attenuated degradative function can also enhance stemness by stabilizing oncoproteins (e.g., protecting Frizzled-1 from degradation to sustain Wnt signaling) or preventing the degradation of tumor suppressors (e.g., inhibiting Notch degradation). (2) Constituent proteins of lysosomes, including membrane proteins and luminal acid hydrolases, participate in regulating CSC stemness. Regarding membrane proteins, LAMP2A facilitates chaperone-mediated autophagy to maintain stemness in glioblastoma and ovarian cancer. V-ATPase, by maintaining an acidic luminal environment, promotes proliferation and drug resistance in glioma stem cells. Among hydrolases, cathepsins B and L are highly expressed in pancreatic and ovarian cancers and correlate with poor prognosis. Furthermore, targeting lysosomes to induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) triggers lysosome-mediated cell death, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy for eradicating CSCs.(3) The acidic luminal environment, single-membrane structure, and the presence of transmembrane transporters (e.g., ABCA3) enable lysosomes to passively trap or actively uptake and sequester chemotherapeutic drugs. Subsequent drug extrusion via exocytosis confers drug resistance. In CSCs, this lysosome-mediated drug sequestration, often cooperating with autophagy, establishes multimodal drug resistance. Therefore, targeting lysosomal function represents a potential strategy to overcome therapy resistance. The central role of lysosomes in regulating CSC stemness and resistance positions them as highly promising therapeutic targets. Strategies aimed at disrupting lysosomal function to selectively eliminate CSCs include: inhibiting the lysosome-autophagy system using agents like IITZ or lovastatin; inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) with compounds such as hexamethylene amiloride to compromise membrane stability; and disrupting the acidic luminal environment using drugs like siramesine or the K/H transport compound 2. In conclusion, lysosomes critically regulate CSC stemness maintenance and drug resistance through degradative pathways, membrane protein functions, luminal hydrolase activities, and drug sequestration mechanisms. This redefines the lysosome from a traditional “waste disposal unit” to a “signal integration center” in CSCs. The duality and context-dependency of lysosomal function in CSCs offer novel insights into the heterogeneity observed across different tumors. Targeting lysosomal vulnerabilities—such as inducing LMP, disrupting acidity, or blocking autophagic flux—provides a strategy to bypass canonical CSC resistance mechanisms and directly trigger cell death. This establishes the lysosome as a key target to overcome CSC-mediated therapy resistance, paving the way for developing diverse candidate drugs and innovative combination therapies in oncology.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in chemical components of Gardeniae Fructus（GF） before and after being charred， providing data support for research on the material basis of GF Carbonisata（GFC）. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS/MS） was used to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the chemical components in GF and GFC under positive and negative ion modes with Compound Discoverer 3.3 software and online database. Then， principal component analysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis in SIMCA14.1 software were used to analyze the MS data of each sample. Based on the principle of variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， differential secondary and primary metabolites before and after carbonization were screened. In addition， MetaboAnalyst website was used for pathway enrichment of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， so as to provide a reference for clarifying the processing mechanism. ResultsA total of 185 components were identified， including 96 secondary metabolites and 89 primary metabolites. These components were classified into nine categories， primarily including iridoid glycosides， flavonoids， and terpenoids， their fragmentation pathways were also analyzed. Simultaneously， multivariate statistical analysis was performed on the secondary and primary metabolites， identifying 70 and 59 differential metabolites， respectively. The secondary metabolites were enriched in two metabolic pathways， including C5-branched dibasic acid metabolism and flavonoid and flavonol biosynthesis， while the primary differential metabolites were enriched in seven pathways such as linoleic acid metabolism and tyrosine metabolism. ConclusionThe chemical components of GF change significantly after carbonization， with a significant decrease in the contents of iridoid glycosides and terpenoids such as hydroxyisogeniposide， crocin Ⅱ， crocetin， and jasminoside B. while the contents of 4-hydroxycoumarin， geniposidic acid， gentiopicroside， and gardenoside methyl ester increase significantly. This change is presumed to be associated with the enhanced cooling and hemostatic effects of the processed products. The identified key components provide a basis for elucidating the material basis underlying the efficacy changes before and after carbonization.

ObjectiveTo explore the molecular mechanism through which modified Guizhi Fulingwan （MGZFLW） promotes apoptosis and inhibits prostate cancer through the miR-34a-5p/δ-like protein 1 （DLL1）/Notch signaling pathway based on the traditional Chinese medicine theory of Yang transforming Qi while Yin constituting form. MethodsThe optimal intervention conditions of MGZFLW-containing serum and docetaxel （DXT） were screened by the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） method. Human prostate cancer cells （PC-3） were allocated into blank， MGZFLW （10%）， and DXT （30 nmol·L^-1） groups. The effects of MGZFLW-containing serum on the migration and proliferation of PC-3 cells were evaluated by cell scratch and colony formation assays， and the apoptosis of PC-3 cells was detected by terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling （TUNEL） assay. The cells were transfected with miR-34a-5p mimics and miR-34a-5p inhibitor. The mRNA levels of miR-34a-5p， DLL1， Notch1 and its downstream effector factors Notch1 intracellular domain （NICD1）， Hes family basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor 1 （Hes1）， and hairy/enhancer-of-split related with YRPW motif 1 （Hey1） were determined by Real-time PCR. The protein levels of DLL1， Notch1， NICD1， Hes1， and Hey1 were determined by a WES fully automatic protein system. The effect of miR-34a-5p on the DLL1-mediated Notch pathway was evaluated based on the results. Further， after MGZFLW-containing serum intervention， the expression of DLL1 and Notch1 was detected by the immunofluorescence （IF） assay， and the mRNA and protein levels of miR-34a-5p/DLL1/Notch pathway-related molecules were quantified by Real-time PCR and the WES fully automatic protein system， respectively， to explore the regulatory effect of MGZFLW-containing serum on the miR-34a-5p/DLL1/Notch pathway. ResultsMGZFLW-containing serum inhibited the viability， migration， and proliferation and promote the apoptosis of PC-3 cells （P<0.01）. The overexpression of miR-34a-5p down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of key molecules in the DLL1/Notch signaling pathway and promoted cell apoptosis （P<0.01）， while inhibition of miR-34a-5p had the opposite effects. MGZFLW-containing serum reversed the activation of the DLL1/Notch pathway and the inhibition of apoptosis caused by miR-34a-5p inhibition， up-regulated the expression of miR-34a-5p， and down-regulated the expression of related molecules in this pathway （P<0.01）. ConclusionMGZFLW can up-regulate the expression of miR-34a-5p to inhibit the DLL1/Notch signaling pathway and promote the apoptosis of prostate cancer cells， thereby inhibiting prostate cancer. This study provides experimental evidence for clarifying the molecular mechanism of the anti-prostate cancer effect of this formula.
