HPSE and cervical carcinoma: The following genes were considered the possible targets of laminarin against cervical carcinoma and COVID-19 via autophagy: CASP8, CFTR, DNMT1, HPSE, KCNH2, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, SERPINE1, TLR4, and VEGFA. Bioinformatic analysis, including network pharmacology, GO enrichment analysis, and molecular docking, was further used to characterize the biological functions and the underlying mechanisms controlled by these genes.
