Effect Analysis of Artemisiae Annuae Herba and Chuanxiong Rhizoma in Treatment of Cerebral Malaria Based on Network Pharmacology
To explore the reasonable combination of Artemisiae Annuae Herba and Chuanxiong Rhizoma in treatment of cerebral malaria and investigate its mechanism based on network pharmacology.
Method
2
The traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) and SymMap were used to obtain all the chemical components of Artemisiae Annuae Herba and Chuanxiong Rhizoma and the action targets were screened to construct a component target protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Target genes related to cerebral malaria were collected with use of GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. Common targets were screened by overlapping drug targets and disease targets, and protein-protein interaction network analysis was performed to get key targets. Gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were carried out to get main signaling pathways. Furthermore, the classical experimental cerebral malaria mouse model was used to detect survival curve, protozoanemia level, survival rate, experimental cerebral malaria (ECM) coma and behavior scores. RayBio
®
cytokine antibody array was used to detect the expression level of cytokines in tissues and experiment was conducted for verification.
Result
2
After combination of Artemisiae Annuae Herba and Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 23 active ingredients, 179 drug targets, and a total of 100 common targets of the drug and disease were obtained. GO functional analysis identified 59 items (
P
<
0.05), involving cytokine activity, growth factor activity, immune response, etc. KEGG pathway analysis revealed 51 related signaling pathways. The experimental results showed that the combined use of Artemisiae Annuae Herba and Chuanxiong Rhizoma could significantly improve the clinical signs of ECM mice, such as survival state, coma and behavioral scores. In the detection of expression levels of related cytokines in mice, the expression levels of
γ-
interferon (IFN-
γ)
, interleukin-10 (IL-10), IL-4, and IL-1
β
in the compatible drug combination drug were significantly higher than those in the model group (
P
<
0.05), which was consistent with the overlapping core targets predicted by network pharmacology.
Conclusion
2
Based on the network pharmacology analysis and
in vivo
experiment verification, this study confirmed the synergistic effect of the combination of Artemisiae Annuae Herba and Chuanxiong Rhizoma in the treatment of cerebral malaria, providing clear direction for further mechanism research, and a new possibility for the clinical intervention of cerebral malaria.
