    Abstract Noncoding RNAs instruct the Cas9 nuclease to site-specifically cleave DNA in the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Despite the high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the patient's outcome is poor. As a result of the emergence of therapeutic resistance in HCC patients, clinicians have faced difficulties in treating such tumor. In addition, CRISPR/Cas9 screens were used to identify genes that improve the clinical response of HCC patients. It is the objective of this article to summarize the current understanding of the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system for the treatment of cancer, with a particular emphasis on HCC as part of the current state of knowledge. Thus, in order to locate recent developments in oncology research, we examined both the Scopus database and the PubMed database. The ability to selectively interfere with gene expression in combinatorial CRISPR/Cas9 screening can lead to the discovery of new effective HCC treatment regimens by combining clinically approved drugs. Drug resistance can be overcome with the help of the CRISPR/Cas9 system. HCC signature genes and resistance to treatment have been uncovered by genome-scale CRISPR activation screening, although this method is not without limitations. It has been extensively examined whether CRISPR can be used as a tool for disease research and gene therapy. CRISPR and its applications to tumor research, particularly in HCC, are examined in this study through a review of the literature.

    Abstract Worldwide, the fourth most common malignancy leading to death via cancer transformation is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Notwithstanding various preventive approaches, the incidence and mortality of patients with HCC continue to increase. However, a successful early diagnosis of HCC is beneficial given a potentially curative treatment. We systematically searched the publicly available NCBI microarray database to extract the required information on different preventive treatments and their affected genes and signaling pathways on HCC. Furthermore, the significant genes were analyzed through the Kaplan-Meier tool for overall survival, relapse-free survival, progression-free survival, and disease-specific survival rates. Subsequently, we assessed the protein-protein network interaction analysis and their corresponding drugs and diseases. The thorough screening of the literature microarray gene datasets revealed that various compounds could be implicated in HCC prevention. The results showed that nine genes (i.e., FGA, FGG, TP53, HELLS, CCNA2, MCM10, MCM2, PCTP, and CYP24A1) modulated the four above-mentioned survival rates. Furthermore, the associations between genes, drugs, and related diseases discovered 39 out of 61 medications covered potential anticancer agents. Finally, we demonstrated that numerous signaling pathways were simultaneously modulated in HCC. In conclusion, this work underlines the importance of the genomic-level perspective in studying HCC treatment and development.

    Abstract The genus Dorema (Apiaceae) comprises 12 accepted species, mainly growing in Asia and, particularly, in Iran, where D. ammoniacum and D. aucheri are the most used species in cuisine and folk medicine. The Dorema species are traditionally applied in the treatment of catarrh, asthma, chronic bronchitis, as carminative, mild diuretic and anthelmintic agents. In general, 42 non-volatile secondary metabolites were isolated from the 6 studied species, namely D. aitchisonii, D. ammoniacum, D. aucheri, D. glabrum, D. hyrcanum, and D. kopetdaghense. Among them, phenolic acid, flavonoid, acetophenone, coumarin, and sesquiterpene derivatives were identified as the predominant phytoconstituents. The leaves are characterized by the highest volatile content, and the sesquiterpenes in both hydrocarbon and oxygenated forms were reported as the most abundant compounds. Most of the studied pharmacological activities were assessed in vivo. Nevertheless, in vitro antiradical and antimicrobial potentials were the main investigated activities. Overall, the evaluation of bioactivities confirmed the ethnopharmacological use of the Dorema species, particularly their anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and hypolipidemic properties. This study comprehensively overviewed, for the first time, the literature relating to the folk medicinal use and to the available phytochemical and pharmacological data. Considering the genus application and the rare clinical trials, the study of the efficacy and safety of the uninvestigated Dorema species might be an interesting and promising approach for further researches.
