Integrated Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Experimental Validation for Uncovering the Pharmacodynamic Basis of Sanghuang against Human Pulmonary Fibrosis.

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVE: Sanghuang, a traditional Chinese medicinal fungus, exhibits well-documented anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor activities. Emerging preclinical evidence indicates its efficacy in ameliorating bleomycin-induced Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) in murine models. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating its anti-fibrotic effects remain poorly elucidated. This study was de...

Bioinformatics analysis identifies biomarkers associated with T-cell depletion in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems. In SLE, T-cell subsets are closely associated with autoimmunity and organ inflammation. Detecting T-cell exhaustion (TEX)-related biomarkers is crucial for early SLE diagnosis and offers new insights into disease mechanisms. Transcriptomic data for SLE were collected from public databases, and T...
