|
Abstract:
目的:运用网络药理学方法探讨降脂通脉胶囊抗动脉粥样硬化(atherosclerosis, AS)的潜在分子机制,为后续开展实验研究提供生物信息学基础。方法:通过TCMSP、HERB、CTD数据库及已有文献查找降脂通脉胶囊药物活性成分与靶点。利用Cytoscape软件构建“中药–有效成分–靶点”网络。通过Gene Cards数据库查找动脉粥样硬化相关靶点。利用Venny 2.1获取重合靶点。重合靶点上传于String 11.0平台进行蛋白质相互作用分析并及可视化呈现,于OmicShare云平台进行GO功能和KEGG通路富集分析。结果:共筛选出31个活性成分,活性成分作用靶点共248个。活性成分作用靶点与AS靶点共重合186个。GO富集分析得到生物过程6249个,分子功能967个。KEGG通路分析结果显示靶点富集于261条通路上,其中包含PI3K-Akt信号通路、流体剪切应力与动脉粥样硬化等AS关键的通路。结论:降脂通脉胶囊包含多个活性成分,其可通过多靶点、多通路的方式抗动脉粥样硬化,体现出中医药抗AS的多靶优势。
Objective: This study was to explore the potential molecular mechanism of Jiangzhi Tongmai Cap-sules anti-atherosclerosis (AS) by using network pharmacology, providing a bioinformatics basis for subsequent experimental research. Methods: The active ingredients and targets of Jiangzhi Tongmai capsules were collected through TCMSP, HERB, CTD databases and literatures. Cytoscape software was used to construct a “traditional Chinese medicine-active ingredient-target” network. The atherosclerosis-related genes were collected through the Gene Cards database. Venny 2.1 was used to obtain the overlapping targets. The overlapping targets were uploaded on the String 11.0 platform for protein-protein interaction analysis and graphical visualization. The GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed on the OmicShare platform. Results: A total of 31 active ingredients were screened, and 248 corresponding targets were obtained. A total of 186 targets were overlapped between the targets for active ingredient and AS-related genes. GO enrich-ment analysis obtained 6249 biological processes and 967 molecular functions. The results of KEGG pathway analysis showed that the targets were enriched in 261 pathways, including PI3K-Akt sig-naling pathway, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis. Conclusion: Jiangzhi Tongmai Capsule con-tains multiple active ingredients, which can resist atherosclerosis through multiple targets and pathways, reflecting the multi target advantage of traditional Chinese medicine in anti-AS.
