Description

Song Yang and co-authors search in 2024 for hub genes and drug targets in bile duct cancer using data from a chrysanthemum-based herbal formula. The cancer has poor outcomes and few treatment options. They combined gene expression, co-expression networks, and genetic causal analysis to find molecular drivers instead of relying on single data sources alone for the search.

Enrichment analysis pointed to cancer-related processes in tumor samples. Intersecting network modules with the herb's known targets gave four candidate hub genes. Docking tests showed the herb's compounds bind those genes. Genetic analysis also implicated fourteen immune-related genes as causal factors in disease risk.
