Background. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus and is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease. Cordyceps sinensis (Cordyceps, Dong Chong Xia Cao) is a widely applied ingredient for treating patients with DN in China, while the molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study is aimed at revealing the therapeutic mechanisms of Cordyceps in DN by undertaking a network pharmacology analysis. Materials and Methods. In this study, active ingredients and associated target proteins of Cordyceps sinensis were obtained via Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database (TCMSP) and Swiss Target Prediction platform, then reconfirmed by using PubChem databases. The collection of DN-related target genes was based on DisGeNET and GeneCards databases. A DN-Cordyceps common target interaction network was carried out via the STRING database, and the results were integrated and visualized by utilizing Cytoscape software. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed to determine the molecular mechanisms and therapeutic effects of Cordyceps on the treatment of DN. Results. Seven active ingredients were screened from Cordyceps, 293 putative target genes were identified, and 85 overlapping targets matched with DN were considered potential therapeutic targets, such as TNF, MAPK1, EGFR, ACE, and CASP3. The results of GO and KEGG analyses revealed that hub targets mainly participated in the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, TNF signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and IL-17 signaling pathway. These targets were correlated with inflammatory response, apoptosis, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and other biological processes. Conclusions. Our study showed that Cordyceps is characterized as multicomponent, multitarget, and multichannel. Cordyceps may play a crucial role in the treatment of DN by targeting TNF, MAPK1, EGFR, ACE, and CASP3 signaling and involved in the inflammatory response, apoptosis, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance.

Objective. To holistically explore the latent active ingredients, targets, and related mechanisms of Hugan buzure granule (HBG) in the treatment of liver fibrosis (LF) via network pharmacology. Methods. First, we collected the ingredients of HBG by referring the TCMSP server and literature and filtered the active ingredients though the criteria of oral bioavailability ≥30% and drug-likeness index ≥0.18. Second, herb-associated targets were predicted and screened based on the BATMAN-TCM and SwissTargetPrediction platforms. Candidate targets related to LF were collected from the GeneCards and OMIM databases. Furthermore, the overlapping target genes were used to construct the protein-protein interaction network and “drug-compound-target-disease” network. Third, GO and KEGG pathway analyses were carried out to illustrate the latent mechanisms of HBG in the treatment of LF. Finally, the combining activities of hub targets with active ingredients were further verified based on software AutoDock Vina. Results. A total of 25 active ingredients and 115 overlapping target genes of HBG and LF were collected. Besides, GO enrichment analysis exhibited that the overlapping target genes were involved in DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific, and oxidoreductase activity. Simultaneously, the key molecular mechanisms of HBG against LF were mainly involved in PI3K-AKT, MAPK, HIF-1, and NF-κB signaling pathways. Also, molecular docking simulation demonstrated that the key targets of HBG for antiliver fibrosis were IL6, CASP3, EGFR, VEGF, and MAPK. Conclusion. This work validated and predicted the underlying mechanisms of multicomponent and multitarget about HBG in treating LF and provided a scientific foundation for further research.

Shen-Qi-Di-Huang decoction (SQDHD), a well-known herbal formula from China, has been widely used in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the pharmacological mechanisms of SQDHD have not been entirely elucidated. At first, we conducted a comprehensive literature search to identify the active constituents of SQDHD, determined their corresponding targets, and obtained known DN targets from several databases. A protein-protein interaction network was then built to explore the complex relations between SQDHD targets and those known to treat DN. Following the topological feature screening of each node in the network, 400 major targets of SQDHD were obtained. The pathway enrichment analysis results acquired from DAVID showed that the significant bioprocesses and pathways include oxidative stress, response to glucose, regulation of blood pressure, regulation of cell proliferation, cytokine-mediated signaling pathway, and the apoptotic signaling pathway. More interestingly, five key targets of SQDHD, named AKT1, AR, CTNNB1, EGFR, and ESR1, were significant in the regulation of the above bioprocesses and pathways. This study partially verified and predicted the pharmacological and molecular mechanisms of SQDHD on DN from a holistic perspective. This has laid the foundation for further experimental research and has expanded the rational application of SQDHD in clinical practice.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the common and severe microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). The occurrence and development of DN are related to multiple factors in the human body, which makes DN a complex disease, and the pathogeneses of DN have not yet been fully illustrated. Furthermore, DN lacks effective drugs for treatment nowadays. Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) often shows the feature of multicomponents, multitargets, multipathways, and synergistic effects and shows a promising source of new therapeutic drugs for DN. As a CHM, Tangshen Formula (TSF) was used to treat DN patients in China. However, its bioactive compounds and holistic pharmacological mechanisms on DN are both unclear. A network pharmacology approach was firstly applied to explore multiple active compounds and multiple key pharmacological mechanisms for TSF treating DN by drug-targeted interaction databases, herb-compound-target network, protein-protein interaction network, compound-target-pathway network, and analysis methods. And the results showed that TSF have the characteristic of multicomponents, multitargets, multipathways, and synergistic effects for treating DN. The quercetin, naringenin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin as key active compounds and the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), focal adhesion, rap1 signaling pathway, T cell receptor signaling pathway, MAPK signaling pathway, and insulin resistance as the key molecular mechanisms play important roles in TSF treating DN. Moreover, quercetin, naringenin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin were successfully detected in TSF by the UHPLC-MS/MS analysis method. And their concentrations were 0.224, 8.295, 0.0564, and 0.0879 mg·kg-1, respectively. The present findings not only provide new insights for a deeper understanding of the constituent basis and pharmacology of TSF but also provide guidance for further pharmacological studies on TSF.

Abstract Background Smilacis Chinae Rhizoma (SCR) is widely used in the treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). However, its active ingredients and the mechanisms against PID remain elusive. This study aimed to clarify the active ingredients and explore their molecular mechanisms on PID. Method Network pharmacology and MMGBSA-docking exploited the active compounds and mechanisms against PID, as well as validating the binding mode of candidate targets.Results Network pharmacology revealed 32 active compounds and 718 compound-related targets mapped to 91 pathways which were clustered 7 genres (e.g., immunoregulation). C-T-P network and PPI analysis illustrated 17 PID-related targets, indicating that SCR may decrease inflammation, ameliorate fibrosis, and inhibit microorganisms via bidirectionally regulating IL-17 signaling pathway. Furthermore, active compounds were uncovered that bound to prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2, matrix metalloprotein-9, lipocalin, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, myeloperoxidase, and tumor necrosis factor. 19 active compounds (e.g., rutin (-66.43 kcal/mol), moracin M (-37.01 kcal/mol) and oxyresveratrol (-38.84 kcal/mol)) were found to show excellent binding free energy, demonstrating that H-bond, Pi electron cloud and electrostatic potential as the main binding ability to these targets. Conclusion Approach of network pharmacology and MMGBSA-docking revealed the active ingredients, such as rutin, moracin M, and oxyresveratrol, in SCR and dissected it exhibits the therapeutic effects (e.g., decrease inflammation, ameliorate fibrosis, and inhibit microorganisms) of PID by the bidirectional regulation of IL-17 signaling pathway.

Quercetin is one the most abundant flavonoids in the human diet. Although it is well known that quercetin exhibits a range of biological activities, the mechanisms behind these activities remain unresolved. The aim of this work is to progress in the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in the biological effects of quercetin using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism. With this aim, the nematode has been used to explore the ability of this flavonoid to modulate the insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) signaling pathway (IIS) and the expression of some genes related to stress response. Different methodological approaches have been used, i.e., assays in knockout mutant worms, gene expression assessment by RT-qPCR, and C. elegans transgenic strains expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporters. The results showed that the improvement of the oxidative stress resistance of C. elegans induced by quercetin could be explained, at least in part, by the modulation of the insulin signaling pathway, involving genes age-1, akt-1, akt-2, daf-18, sgk-1, daf-2, and skn-1. However, this effect could be independent of the transcription factors DAF-16 and HSF-1 that regulate this pathway. Moreover, quercetin was also able to increase expression of hsp-16.2 in aged worms. This observation could be of particular interest to explain the effects of enhanced lifespan and greater resistance to stress induced by quercetin in C. elegans, since the expression of many heat shock proteins diminishes in aging worms.

Background. Huangqi Gegen decoction (HGD), a Chinese herb formula, has been widely used to treat diabetic nephropathy in China, while the pharmacological mechanisms are still unclear. Therefore, the present study aims to explore the underlying mechanism of HGD for treating diabetic nephropathy (DN). Materials and Methods. Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database (TCMSP), UniProt, and SwissTargetPrediction databases were used to search the active ingredients and potential targets of HGD. In addition, multiple disease-related databases were used to collect DN-related targets. Common targets of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network were established using the STRING database. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed using the DAVID database. At last, AutoDockVina was used to conduct molecular docking verification for the core components and targets. Results. A total of 27 active ingredients and 354 putative identified target genes were screened from HGD, of which 99 overlapped with the targets of DN and were considered potential therapeutic targets. Further analysis showed that the HGD activity of quercetin, formononetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, and beta-sitosterol ingredients is possible through VEGFA, IL6, TNF, AKT1, and TP53 targets involved in TNF, toll-like receptors, and MAPK-related pathways, which have anti-inflammatory, antiapoptosis, antioxidation, and autophagy effects, relieve renal fibrosis and renal cortex injury, and improve renal function, thus delaying the development of DN. The molecular docking results showed that quercetin, formononetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin, beta-sitosterol had a good binding activity with VEGFA, IL6, TNF, AKT1, and TP53. Conclusion. This study demonstrated that HGD might take part in the treatment of DN through multicomponent, multitarget, and multichannel combined action.

Abstract BackgroundThe mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of Salvia Miltiorrhiza (SM) against diabetic nephropathy (DN) using systematic network pharmacology and molecular docking methods were examined.MethodsTCMSP database was used to screen the active ingredients of SM. Gene targets were obtained using Swiss Target Prediction and TCMSP databases. Related targets of DN were retrieved from the Genecards and DisGeNET databases. Next, a PPI network was constructed using the common targets of SM-DN in the STRING database. The Metascape platform was used for GO function analysis and Cytoscape plug-in ClueGO was used for KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was performed using iGEMDOCK and AutoDock Vina software. Pymol and LigPlos were used for mapping the network. ResultsSixty-six active ingredients and 189 targets were screened from SM. Among them, 64 targets overlapped with DN targets. The PPI network diagram revealed that AKT1, VEGFA, IL6, TNF, MAPK1, TP53, EGFR, STAT3, MAPK14, and JUN were the top 10 relevant targets. GO and KEGG analyses mainly focused on advanced glycation end products, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and immune regulation. Molecular docking revealed that the potential target genes closely related to DN, including TNF, NOS2, and AKT1, were more stable in combination with salvianolic acid B, and their stability was better than that of tanshinone IIA.ConclusionThis study reveals the active components and potential molecular mechanisms involved in the therapeutic effect of SM against DN and provides a reference for the wide application of SM in clinically managing DN.

We aimed to explore the active ingredients and molecular mechanism of Tripterygium wilfordii (TW) in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN) through network pharmacology and molecular biology. First, the active ingredients and potential targets of TW were obtained through the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) and related literature materials, and Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct the active ingredient-target network diagram of TW. Second, the target set of DN was obtained through the disease database, and the potential targets of TW in the treatment of DN were screened through a Venn diagram. A protein interaction network diagram (PPI) was constructed with the help of the String platform and Cytoscape 3.7.2. Third, the ClueGO plug-in tool was used to enrich the GO biological process and the KEGG metabolic pathway. Finally, molecular docking experiments and cell pathway analyses were performed. As a result, a total of 52 active ingredients of TW were screened, and 141 predicted targets and 49 target genes related to DN were identified. The biological process of GO is mediated mainly through the regulation of oxygen metabolism, endothelial cell proliferation, acute inflammation, apoptotic signal transduction pathway, fibroblast proliferation, positive regulation of cyclase activity, adipocyte differentiation and other biological processes. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the main pathways involved were AGE-RAGE, vascular endothelial growth factor, HIF-1, IL-17, relaxin signalling pathway, TNF, Fc epsilon RI, insulin resistance and other signaling pathways. It can be concluded that TW may treat DN by reducing inflammation, reducing antioxidative stress, regulating immunity, improving vascular disease, reducing insulin resistance, delaying renal fibrosis, repairing podocytes, and reducing cell apoptosis, among others, with multicomponent, multitarget and multisystem characteristics.

Abstract Background and objective: Recent years, some Chinese scholars have applied Shuilu Erxian Dan (SED) to the treatment of treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and achieved well curative effect. However, these studies are mostly limited to clinical observation. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of SED in treating DKD. Methods The active components of SED were retrieved in TCMSP database and BATMAN-TCM database, and the herbal targets were obtained by drugbank database and SwissTargetPrediction platform. The gene expression data of DKD patients were downloaded from GEO database and analyzed to obtain DKD-related targets. The ingredient-target network and the PPI network were constructed by Cytoscape software. The clusterProfiler package of R software is used for bioinformatic analysis. Molecular docking was further applied to verify the interaction between compounds and targets by Autodock Vina software. Results 610 differential expressed genes of DKD patients were obtained, and 29 potential targets of SED against DKD were screened out (including PPTGS2, FABP3, HSD17B2, FABP1, HSD11B2, CYP27B1, JUN, UGT2B7, VCAM1, CA2, MAOA, MMP2, CXCR1, SLC22A6, EPHX2, SLC47A1, FOS, EGF, CCL2, COL3A1, GSTA1, GSTA2, HSPA1A, DAO, ALDH2, ALB, GPR18, FPR2, and LPL). All the active ingredients in SED can act on the DKD-related targets, among which quercetin, Ellagic acid, and kaempferol may be the key active compounds. SED may play a therapeutic role in DKD by regulating pathways including “Fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis”, “AGE − RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications” and “IL-17 signaling pathway”. Conclusion This study suggests that the mechanism of SED treating DKD is a complex network with multi-target and multi-pathway, which provides a reference for future experimental studies.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of Radix Paeoniae Alba (white peony, WP) in treating immune inflammatory diseases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors (TNFis) by using network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods: In this study, the ingredient of WP and the potential inflammatory targets of RA were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systematic Pharmacology Database, GeneCard, and OMIM databases, respectively. The establishment of the RA–WP-potential inflammatory target gene interaction network was accomplished using the STRING database. Network maps of the WP–RA-potential inflammatory target gene network were constructed using Cytoscape software. Gene ontology (GO) and the biological pathway (KEGG) enrichment analyses were used to further explore the RA mechanism and therapeutic effects of WP. Molecular docking technology was used to analyze the optimal effective components from WP for docking with TNF-α.Results: Thirteen active ingredients and 71 target genes were screened from WP, and 49 of the target genes intersected with RA target inflammatory genes and were considered potential therapeutic targets. Network pharmacological analysis showed that the WP active ingredients such as mairin, DPHCD, (+)-catechin, beta-sitosterol, paeoniflorin, sitosterol, and kaempferol showed better correlation with RA inflammatory target genes such as PGR, PTGS1, PTGS2, NR3C2, TNFSF15, and CHRM2, respectively. The immune-inflammatory signaling pathways of the active ingredients for the treatment of RA are the TNF-α signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, cell apoptosis, interleukin-17 signaling pathway, C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway, mitogen-associated protein kinase, etc. Molecular docking results suggested that mairin was the most appropriate natural TNFis.Conclusion: Our findings provide an essential role and basis for further immune-inflammatory studies into the molecular mechanisms of WP and TNFis development in RA.
