To explore the mechanism of tripterygium wilfordii-white peony in rheumatoid arthritis based on network pharmacology and animal experiments
摘要
Abstract
Objective Using network pharmacology to explore the mechanism of action of tripterygium wilfordii-white peony in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)and validating it using an adjuvant arthritis rat model.Methods Obtain the effective ingredients of tripterygium wilfordii and white peony through TCMSP database and predict the action targets;Obtain the disease targets of RA using DisGeNET and GeneCards online database;Draw the network of"tripterygium wilfordii-white peony-active ingredient-RA"and screen the core effective components using the software Cytoscape 3.9.1;Construct the protein-protein interaction(PPI)network using String database and screen the core targets using the CytoNCA plug-in,using the Metascape database for gene enrichment analysis of common targets,and using Auto Dock Tools and Pymol software for molecular docking of core active ingredients and targets.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)detection of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL)-4,IL-6,and IL-17 levels in adjuvant arthritis rats,Western blot was used to detect the expression of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase(p-PI3K)and phosphorylated AKT protein(p-AKT),validate the results of network pharmacology analysis.Results There were a total of 61 effective ingredients in the treatment of RA with tripterygium wilfordii-white peony,with 116 targets and 191 signaling pathways involved.Animal experiments have shown that compared with the model group rats,the serum cytokine TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-17 of rats in tripterygium wilfordii-white peony group and tripterygium wilfordii extract group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),IL-4 significantly increased(P<0.05);The expression of p-PI3K and p-AKT in synovial tissue was significantly reduced(P<0.05);Compared with rats in tripterygium wilfordii extract group,the TNF-α,IL-6,IL-17,p-PI3K and p-AKT of rats in tripterygium wilfordii-white peony group were significantly reduced(P<0.05),while IL-4 was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Tripterygium wilfordii-white peony can inhibit the overexpression of phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)signaling pathway,regulate cytokine release,exert anti-inflammatory effects,and ultimately treat RA through multiple active ingredients and targets.关键词
