Figure Lengend Snippet: YHD can induce mitochondrial dysfunction in osteosarcoma (OS) cells. (A) Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels. (B, C) Western blot analysis detected the effect of YHD on the expression levels of proteins related to mitochondrial biogenesis in OS cells. (D, E) JC-1 staining detected the effect of YHD on the mitochondrial membrane potential in OS cells. (F, G) MitoSOX staining detected the effect of YHD on mitochondrial ROS levels in OS cells. (H) Seahorse XFe24 analyzer measured the effect of YHD on the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in OS cells. (I) The effect of YHD on ATP content in OS cells. Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation ( n = 3). ∗ p < 0.05 and ∗∗ p < 0.01 versus the blank group.

Figure Lengend Snippet: YHD exerts anti-tumor effects on osteosarcoma (OS) cells through the PI3K/AKT and p38 signaling pathways. (A) Principal component analysis revealed a clear distinction in gene expression profiles between the control and YHD groups. (B) Volcano plot identified 3495 differentially expressed genes in the YHD group. (C) Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. (D – G) Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of control and YHD groups. (H, I) Western blot analysis detected the effect of YHD on proteins related to the PI3K/AKT and MAPK pathways in OS cells. (J, K) After the addition of a PI3K activator and a P38 inhibitor, scratch healing assay showed that YHD inhibited the migration of OS cells. (L, M) After the addition of a PI3K activator and a P38 inhibitor, JC-1 staining detected the effect of YHD on the mitochondrial membrane potential in OS cells. Data were presented as mean ± standard deviation ( n = 3). ∗ p < 0.05 and ∗∗ p < 0.01 versus the blank group.
