Mechanism of Duanteng Yimutang in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis Based on Network Pharmacology Approach
Duanteng Yimutang(DTYMT) has a significant effect in treating rheumatoid arthritis
but its composition is complex and its mechanism is not clear. It is worthwhile to use network pharmacology approach to find active components
therapeutic targets and signal pathways of DTYMT.
Method:
2
The drug composition was selected according to the pharmacokinetic parameters in the pharmacology database
the analysis platform (TCMSP) and the TCM integrated database (TCMID) of the Traditional Chinese Medicine System. The drug and disease targets were excavated in the Drugbank database and the Therapeutic Target Database (TTD)
and the drug-target-pathway network was constructed by network pharmacology tool Cytoscap
in order to explore the mechanism of the action of the components in the DTYMT.
Result:
2
It was found that 11 effective components of DTYMT could target 42 proteins in rheumatoid arthritis
such as interleukin-1 (IL-1)
interleukin-6 (IL-6)
tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2)
matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3)
and inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2). Various pathways
including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway
interleukin-17 (IL-17) pathway
helper T cell 17 (Th17) differentiation pathway
rheumatic arthritis pathway
nuclear factor
κ
B (NF-
κ
B) pathway
osteoclast differentiation pathway
and ovarian steroid production pathway
were involved.
Conclusion:
2
DTYMT may be used to regulate inflammatory cytokines mainly through multiple inflammatory-related signal pathways
so as to play anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory roles in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
