Molecular Mechanism of Lycii Fructus and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma in Treatment of Retinitis Pigmentosa
To explore the molecular mechanism of Lycii Fructus and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (FLRSM) in the treatment of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) based on network pharmacology and bioinformatics.
Method:
2
Possible intake active components and targets of FLRSM were screened out and predicted by traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform(TCMSP). Gene targets related to RP were mined through disease gene databases. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of component-targets and disease-targets were mapped by functional protein association networks (STRING)
and the intersection of the two networks was obtained. The gene ontology and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) pathway of the intersection network were analyzed by the database for annotation
visualization and integrated discovery(DAVID). CytoHubba analysis was used to screen out the key targets.
Result:
2
A total of 390 active ingredients related to FLRSM were retrieved from TCMSP. According to pharmacokinetic parameters
110 active ingredients were screened out
19 active ingredients were further screened out
and 208 targets related to these constituents were retrieved. Totally 206 genes directly related to RP were obtained from the disease gene databases. And 79 genes were obtained from the intersection of PPI networks of component targets and disease targets. These genes mainly involved in biological processes
such as protein autophosphorylation
transcriptional regulation and cell proliferation
and the molecular functions mainly involved adenosine triphosphate binding
transcription factor activity
core promoter binding
and were enriched in nuclear
transcription factor complex
nucleus
cytoplasm and other regions. It was mainly related to neurotrophin signaling pathway
cell cycle related pathway and Wnt signaling pathway. And 8 key gene targets for FLRSM treatment of RP were identified by further screening.
Conclusion:
2
The material basis of pharmacodynamic action of FLRSM involves 19 active ingredients
such as porous sterol and tanshinone Ⅱ
A
. The key targets of FLRSM in the treatment of RP include 8 genes
such as E2F transcription factor 1(E2F1) and retinoblastoma gene1(RB1). The main mechanism is related to the regulation of neurotrophin signaling pathways
cell cycle related pathways and other signaling networks.
