Project description:Erianin, a natural product extracted from Dendrobium, possesses multiple pharmacological properties, including antioxidative and antitumor activities. The objective of this study was: to evaluate the anti-pancreatic cancer activity of erianin and explore its underlying mechanisms.To further explore the potential molecular mechanisms of erianin in pancreatic cancer, we performed RNA Sequencing analysis to identify DEGs under erianin stimulation in SW1990 cells.
Project description:LAESI-MS data were collected for high-throughput microbial natural product discovery. Bacteria were cultivated with chemical elicitors and the crude extracts were analyzed by LAESI-MS in a high-throughput manner.
Project description:Known as M-bM-^@M-^\The Oriental Botanic GardenM-bM-^@M-^] and the natural gene bank of biological species, Shennongjia is one of the most biologically diverse areas in China and a member of UNESCO's World Network of Biosphere Reserves. The macro-organism resources of shennongjia have been deeply explored. However, the microbial community structure was scarcely detected. In this study, we aim to detedect the microbial community along six sites of Shennonajia Mountain and explore the major controlling factor in shaping microbial community with a microarray-based metagenomics tool named GeoChip 4.2. Seventy-three samples were collected from six sites along the Shennongjia Mountain, with 5-15 replicates in every site

Project description:To investigate how a natural product analog mitigates AD, cortical transcriptomes from WT and 5xFAD mice were analyzed. Comparing vehicle-treated groups revealed extensive differential expression associated with neuroinflammation in 5xFAD mice. This was attenuated in the 5xFAD mice treated with the natural product, whose profiles resembled WT controls. RNA seq suggested the natural product regulated the nervous and immune systems.
