Objective To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the effect of Fufang Changtai Decoction(FFCT)in inhibiting colorectal cancer(CRC)through the ferroptosis pathway using network pharmacology combined with experimental validation.Methods The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)and Swiss Target Prediction databases were employed for the systematic screening of potent active ingredients and therapeutic targets of FFCT.In addition,the identification of CRC-associated genes and ferroptosis-related genes(FRGs)was accomplished using the Gene Cards and FerrDb databases,respectively.Venn diagrams,coupled with Cytoscape software,facilitated the comprehensive analysis of key FRGs involved in FFCT's intervention in CRC by mapping the TCM compound-therapeutic target network.Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the mitochondrial ultrastructure of SW480 and HCT116,2 Human CRC cell lines,after treatment with FFCT-containing serum.Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were measured using a ROS detection kit.To assess the role of ferroptosis,ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1(Lip-1)was co-administered with FFCT-containing serum.The effects on cancer cell viability and proliferation were evaluated using CCK-8 and colony formation assays.Key molecular targets involved in the regulatory effects of FFCT on the expression of FRGs were further analyzed using PCR Array and Western blot.The findings were then validated with human CRC tissue microarrays.Results A total of 103 active ingredients of FFCT,739 therapeutic targets,9 101 disease-related genes,and 564 FRGs were identified.Venn diagram analysis identified 81 FRGs associated with FFCT intervention.Network analysis revealed that NQO1,TP53,and PTGS2 served as hub nodes in the regulatory network.Findings from the in vitro experiments showed that FFCT induced ferroptosis changes,including mitochondrial condensation,membrane thickening,and cristae reduction,in SW480 and HCT116 cells.FFCT treatment significantly increased intracellular ROS levels in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05)and reduced cancer cell viability and proliferative capacity(P<0.01).These inhibitory effects were partially reversed by Lip-1,suggesting that FFCT's antitumor activity was closely associated with the ferroptosis pathway.PCR Array and Western blot analyses further confirmed that FFCT significantly downregulated NQO1 mRNA and protein expression in cancer cells(P<0.001),which was consistent with network pharmacology predictions.Immunofluorescence analysis of clinical CRC tissue microarrays revealed that NQO1 expression was significantly higher in tumor tissues than in adjacent non-tumor tissues(P<0.001).Conclusion FFCT may induce intracellular ferroptosis by downregulating the oncogenic gene NQO1,thereby exerting anti-CRC effects.

Objective To investigate the factors associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction(CMD)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in diabetic patients with multivessel disease and non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome(NSTE-ACS).Methods A single-center retrospective study was conducted,including 242 diabetic patients with NSTE-ACS and multivessel disease who underwent PCI between January 2021 and June 2024 at Hospital.Baseline characteristics,procedural parameters,and laboratory indicators were collected.CMD was defined based on immediate postoperative coronary functional measurements[computational pressure-flow dynamics derived angiography fractional flow reserve(caFFR)＞0.80 and coronary angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance(caIMR)≥25].Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for CMD.Results Among the 242 patients,49(20.2%)were diagnosed with patient-level CMD after PCI.The CMD group showed significantly higher hemoglobin levels compared to the non-CMD group[136.00(130.00,150.00)g/L vs.130.00(119.00,145.00)g/L,P=0.012],as well as higher glutamic-pyruvic transaminase levels[20.00(16.00,31.00)U/L vs.18.00(13.00,26.00)U/L,P=0.047].However,there were no significant differences between the groups in terms of diabetes duration,traditional cardiovascular risk markers(hypertension,smoking history,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol),types of hypoalycemic agents,or procedural parameters(all P＞0.05).Univariate regression analysis indicated that hemoglobin(OR 1.025,95%CI 1.007-1.043,P=0.007)and urea(OR 0.897,95%CI 0.791-1.108,P=0.091)were associated with CMD.Multivariate logistic regression further confirmed that elevated hemoglobin concentration was an independent predictor of CMD after PCI in diabetic patients with NSTE-ACS and multivessel disease(OR 1.026,95%CI 1.007-1.045,P=0.006).According to the Youden index of the receiver operating characteristics curve,the optimal cutoff value for diagnosing hemoglobin content is 131 g/L(Youden Index=0.238,sensitivity 69.4%,specificity 54.4%).Conclusions Elevated hemoglobin concentration is an independent risk factor for CMD after PCI in diabetic patients with NSTE-ACS and multivessel disease,potentially linked to hyper-viscous blood-induced oxidative stress and endothelial injury.It is recommended to intensify postoperative microcirculatory monitoring in patients with preoperative hemoglobin≥131 g/L and to explore hemorheological intervention strategies.
