The present disclosure relates to the technical field of biology, and in particular to a Macrobrachium nipponense Cathepsin L gene and use of dsRNA thereof, including the Macrobrachium nipponense Cathepsin L gene, a gene fragment and the dsRNA thereof, and use of the dsRNA in inhibiting ovary development of Macrobrachium nipponense. The Macrobrachium nipponense Cathepsin L gene is obtained at first with the full-length nucleotide sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 1 and the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No. 2. Gene fragments with sequences of SEQ ID No. 3 and SEQ ID No. 8 are obtained by using technologies such as RNA interference, and dsRNA1 and dsRNA2 are synthesized from the two gene fragments. The synthesized dsRNA1 and dsRNA2 are injected into a pericardial cavity of a female Macrobrachium nipponense and the result shows that the dsRNA1 can effectively slow down the ovary development speed of the female Macrobrachium nipponense.

Provided herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one isoflavonoid. Also provided herein are methods of treating cancer, sensitizing cancer cells, and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells by administering such compositions.

Further according to the present disclosure, there are methods for promoting egg maturation in assisted reproductive technologies, such as in in vitro fertilization (IVF) or in an embryo transfer (ET) process. There are also methods for decreasing the rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), providing comparable or improved pregnancy rates, decreasing the time to pregnancy, and inhibiting premature ovulation. The methods include the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of an active pharmaceutical ingredient of 2-(N-acetyl-D-tyrosyl-trans-4-hydroxy-L-prolyl-L-asparaginyl-L-threonyl-L-phenylalanyl) hydrazinocarbonyl-L-leucyl-Nω-methyl-L-arginyl-L-tryptophanamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

Described are methods for treating cancers overexpressing hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel (HCN) isoforms HCN1, HCN2, HCN3, and/or HCN4. The cancers are treated by administering to a subject in need of treatment an effective amount of an HCN inhibitor. The HCN inhibitor can be an inhibitor of HCN1, HCN2, HCN3, or HCN4, or an inhibitor that inhibits any combination of HCN1, HCN2, HCN3, and HCN4. The described methods are useful for reducing tumor size, putting cancer in remission, and reducing or stopping proliferation of cancer stem cells.
