Effects of parthenolide on amino acid metabolism and oxidative stress in lung adenocarcinoma based on quantitative proteomic analysis, targeted amino acid metabolomics, network pharmacology, and experimental validation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) causes millions of deaths annually worldwide. Parthenolide (PTL), extracted from traditional Chinese herbal medicines, has various biological activities. In this study, we investigated the effects of PTL on amino acid metabolism and oxidative stress in LUAD cells. Methods: This study identified differential proteins and potential mechanisms of action of PTL in LUAD cells through label-free quantitative proteomics and protein-protein interaction networks. Combined with targeted amino acid metabolomics, we confirmed the results of GO and KEGG analyses. On this basis, the potential targets of PTL in LUAD were identified through network pharmacology, molecular simulation docking, and molecular dynamics simulations. Finally, the effects of PTL on amino acid metabolism and oxidative stress in LUAD were verified using Results: PTL treatment of LUAD cells resulted in significant changes in expression of 157 proteins. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that these proteins were involved in amino acid metabolism and oxidative stress response. Targeted amino acid metabolomics further confirmed that PTL affected amino acid metabolism in LUAD. Network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations identified GCTG as a potential target of PTL in LUAD. Meanwhile, Conclusion: PTL affects proliferation, amino acid metabolism, and oxidative stress levels of LUAD cells via targeting GCTG. Therefore, our study provides new insights into the prevention and treatment of LUAD with PTL, which may lay the foundation for future research directions.
