Abstract

Background

Colorectal cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in clinical practice, and traditional Chinese medicine, as an important adjuvant treatment method, plays important roles in the treatment of malignant tumors.

Objective

This study aims to explore the mechanism of action of the Qizhu anti-cancer recipe on colorectal cancer through transcriptome sequencing.

Methods

The control group and Qizhu anti-cancer recipe group were established separately, and sequencing of the cells of the two groups was performed using the Illumina sequencing platform. Two sets of Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) were screened using the DESeq2 algorithm, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Reactome, Disease Ontology (DO), and Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) were used to comprehensively analyze the molecular functions and signaling pathways enriched by DEGs.

Result

A total of 122 DEGs were identified through differential analysis, including 24 upregulated genes and 98 downregulated genes. GO analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in functions such as alkaline phase activity, ion transport, cell differentiation, .; KEGG analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in pathways such as Thiamine metabolism, apoptosis, signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells, cellular senescence and so on. Reactom analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in response pathways such as EGR1,2,3 bind to the NAB2 promoter, EGR binds ARC gene, EGR-dependent NAB2 gene expression, .; DO analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in diseases such as disease of cellular proliferation, disease of anatomical entity, organ system cancer, .; PPI analysis identified key differentially expressed genes, including DDIT3, CHAC1, TRIB3, and ASNS.

Conclusion

Based on transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, it was found that the Qizhu anti-cancer recipe may involve DEGs and signaling pathways in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Our study may provide potential drug targets for developing new treatment strategies for colorectal cancer.
