Osteoporosis and kidney stones share several common pathophysiological risk factors, their association is well-established. However, previous studies have primarily focused on environmental mediators, such as diet, the precise mechanism linking these two conditions remains unclear. The relationship between osteoporosis was analyzed using weighted multivariate logistic regression, employing data from five cycles of National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2010, 2013–2014, 2017–2020. Gene expression Expression Omnibus (GEO) microarray database were integrated with machine learning techniques to identify key genes involved in both stones. Common targets then identified through Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) GeneCards. GMFA enrichment analysis performed shared biological pathways. Additionally, drug prediction molecular docking employed further investigate pharmacological relevance targets. Analysis NHANES confirmed a strong Weighted regression showed that (OR: 1.41; 95% CI 1.11–1.79; P < 0.001) bone loss 1.24; 1.08–1.43; significantly correlated an increased Three hub genes—WNT1, AKT1, TNF—were various analytical methods. revealed mTOR signaling pathway pathway.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterized by hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, is becoming a global epidemic. However, the currently available effective clinical strategies remain limited. We conducted choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet (CDAHFD) induced MASH mouse model to explore effects of diphyllin on MASLD mice. employ targeted protein degradation technology applied for discovery compound/protein-protein interaction identify p65 as potential target protein. determine that diphyllin, natural arylnaphthalene lignan lactone, MASLD, evidenced inhibition lipid accumulation through promoting fatty acid oxidation in vivo vitro. To uncover underlying mechanisms, we design synthesis diphyllin-based protac Under deficiency, metabolism are blocked As an antagonist NRF2, interacts with p65, leading induction NRF2 transcriptional activity enhancement antioxidant capacity. When NFR2 inhibited, lowering abolished. Our study presents lead compound therapy but also offers novel approach elucidating mechanisms action products.

Meisoindigo (Mei) has long been recognized in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment. To elucidate its molecular target and mechanisms, we embarked on designing synthesizing a series of Mei-derived PROTACs. Through this endeavor, VHL-type PROTAC 9b was identified to be highly cytotoxic against SW620, SW480, K562 cells. Employing DiaPASEF-based quantitative proteomic analysis, combination with extensive validation assays, unveiled that potently selectively degraded ATM across SW620 SW480 cells ubiquitin–proteasome-dependent manner. 9b-induced selective degradation prompted DNA damage response cascades, thereby leading the cell cycle arrest apoptosis. This pioneering discovery renders advent for anti-cancer therapy. Notably, synergistically enhanced efficacy ATR inhibitor AZD6738 both vitro vivo. work establishes synthetic lethality-inducing properties inhibitors ATM-deficient context, providing new avenues innovative therapies colorectal cancer.
