Network Pharmacology Study of Astragaloside Ⅳ in Treatment of Ischemic Stroke
To study the mechanism of astragaloside Ⅳ in the treatment of ischemic stroke by means of network pharmacology.
Method
2
The targets of astragaloside Ⅳ were predicted using Swiss Target Prediction platform, and the targets of ischemic stroke were retrieved using GeneCards, Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID) and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) databases. The potential targets of astragaloside Ⅳ acting on ischemic stroke were obtained by the intersection of the targets of astragaloside Ⅳ and ischemic stroke. STRING platform was used to build protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and eigenvalues were calculated through network topology analysis to screen core targets. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed on the related targets in DAVID database. Finally, molecular docking verification was conducted to further clarify the core targets of astragaloside Ⅳ acting on ischemic stroke.
Result
2
The 44 common targets were obtained after the intersection of the targets of astragaloside Ⅳ and ischemic stroke. PPI network topology analysis showed that RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (Akt1), renin (REN), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), vascular endothlial growth factor A (VEGFA) and neuronal proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (SRC) were the core targets of astragaloside Ⅳ in the treatment of ischemic stroke. Enrichment analysis results of KEGG pathway showed that the pathways of astragaloside Ⅳ acting on ischemic stroke involved the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, calcium signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, etc.
Conclusion
2
Astragaloside Ⅳ may promote angiogenesis and inhibit platelet activity by acting on Akt1, REN, EGFR, VEGFA, SRC, thus improving cerebral blood flow. It can also inhibit the apoptosis of ischemic brain tissue cells and inflammation to reduce the damage of nerve function, and finally treat ischemic stroke. This study provides ideas and guidance for further exploring the mechanism of astragaloside Ⅳ in the treatment of ischemic stroke.
