Project description:In order to study the interaction between Tremella fuciformis and Annulohypoxylon stygium, the transcriptomes of individual T. fuciformis mycelia, T. fuciformis mycelia which interacted with A. stygium, dual mycelia of both, A. stygium mycelia which interacted with T. fuciformis and individual A. stygium mycelia were obtained by RNA-seq
Project description:Hawk tea (Litsea coreana var. lanuginose) is a traditional Chinese tea, widely cultivated and consumed in southwestern China. It has been widely used to treat gastrosis, hepatitis, and inflammatory diseases for hundreds of years. Modern pharmacological studies demonstrate that hawk tea has protective effects against liver fibrosis, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory diseases . However, the molecular mechanism of hawk tea against hypercholesterolemia remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the mechanisms of hawk tea extract (HTE) to lower cholesterol. Therefore, we performed genome-wide transcriptional analysis of hawk tea extracts treated HepG2 cells. Hawk tea extracts (HTE) induced significant gene modulation on HepG2 cells.
