摘要: 【目的】利用网络药理学及分子对接技术分析赤芍抗氧化应激作用的有效活性成分及其分子机制。【方法】运用TCMSP数据库搜集赤芍的活性成分和靶点,借助UniProt数据库对靶点进行基因名转化;通过GeneCards和OMIM数据库检索氧化应激的相关基因,利用Veeny在线平台获得赤芍与氧化应激的交集靶点,将交集靶点上传至STRING数据库和Cytoscape 3.8.0软件建立蛋白互作(PPI)网络图和赤芍-靶点-氧化应激可视化网络并进行拓扑学分析,筛选关键靶点;运用Metascape数据库对关键靶点进行GO功能和KEGG通路富集分析,确定赤芍发挥抗氧化应激作用的活性成分和信号通路;运用AutoDock和PyMol软件对赤芍发挥抗氧化应激作用的核心靶点进行分子对接验证。【结果】共筛选到12个赤芍活性成分,包括黄芩素、β-谷甾醇、鞣花酸、豆甾醇、(+)-儿茶素等;赤芍活性成分与氧化应激靶点分别有76和4 873个,其中赤芍与氧化应激交集靶点共69个,包括蛋白激酶B(AKT1)、转录因子AP-1(JUN)、细胞肿瘤抗原p53(TP53)、肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)和半胱氨酸蛋白酶-3(CASP3)等;GO功能和KEGG通路富集结果提示,赤芍抗氧化应激与磷脂酰肌醇-3-激酶/蛋白激酶B(PI3K-Akt)、核因子κB(NF-κB)等多个信号通路有关;分子对接结果表明,赤芍主要活性成分黄芩素、β-谷甾醇与核心靶点有较好的结合能力。【结论】赤芍可能通过黄芩素、β-谷甾醇、鞣花酸等活性成分调控PI3K-Akt、NF-κB、白细胞介素-17(IL17)等信号通路中的关键靶点来发挥抗氧化应激作用。

Abstract: 【Objective】 The purpose of this experiment was to analyze the effective active ingredients of Radix Paeoniae Rubra on antioxidative stress and its molecular mechanism using network pharmacology and molecular docking technology.【Method】 Active ingredients and related targets of Radix Paeoniae Rubra were collected from TCMSP database and then converted into gene names using UniProt database.Targets related to oxidative stress were collected from GeneCards and OMIM databases,and the intersection targets of Radix Paeoniae Rubra and oxidative stress were obtained by Veeny online platform.Subsequently,protein-protein interaction (PPI) network map and a Radix Paeoniae Rubra-target-oxidative stress visualization network for topological analysis were established by STRING database and Cytoscape 3.8.0 software,and then key targets were identified.The active ingredients and antioxidant signaling pathways of Radix Paeoniae Rubra were determined by GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis with Metascape database.AutoDock and PyMol softwares were used to perform molecular docking verification of the core target of Radix Paeoniae Rubra.【Result】 12 active ingredients in Radix Paeoniae Rubra were screened,including baicalein,beta-sitosterol,ellagic acid,stigmasterol,(+)-catechin,etc.There were 76 active ingredients targets in Radix Paeoniae Rubra and 4 873 oxidative stress targets,including 69 intersection targets,such as protein kinase B (AKT1),activator protein 1 (JUN),cellular tumor antigen p53 (TP53),tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and caspase-3 (CASP3), etc.The results of GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that antioxidative stress of Radix Paeoniae Rubra might be related to the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-threonine-protein kinase (PI3K-Akt),neurofibromin-κB (NF-κB),and other signaling pathways.Moreover,the results of molecular docking showed that the main active ingredients of Radix Paeoniae Rubra,baicalein and beta sitosterol,had good binding ability to the core targets.【Conclusion】 The active ingredients such as baicalein,beta sitosterol and ellagic acid in Radix Paeoniae Rubra might play an antioxidative stress role by regulating key targets in PI3K-Akt,NF-κB,interleukin-17 (IL17) and other signaling pathways.
