Mechanism of Qingke Pingchuan Granule in Treatment of Acute and Chronic Bronchitis Complicated with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: An Exploration Based on Network Pharmacology
To explore the potential mechanism of Qingke Pingchuan granule in treating acute and chronic bronchitis complicated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by network pharmacology.
Method
2
The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP) was retrieved to collect the active components of Qingke Pingchuan granule and predict the action targets, followed by the construction of component-target network using Cytoscape 3.8. GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man(OMIM), and DrugBank were used to harvest disease targets, whose names were put into UniProt for standardization. The treatment targets of Qingke Pingchuan Granule against the two diseases were obtained based on Venn diagram, which were then imported into the STRING platform for constructing the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Following the gene ontology(GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis based on MetaScape, the active component-common target-signaling pathway network of Qingke Pingchuan granule against acute and chronic bronchitis complicated with COPD was finally constructed. The accuracy of the target was confirmed by literature.
Result
2
A total of 165 active components, 374 related targets, 512 disease-related targets, and 130 common targets were obtained. Among them, the 14 core therapeutic targets were further subjected to GO enrichment analysis, which yielded 390 biological processes, nine cell components, and 23 molecular functions. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed 22 signaling pathways.
Conclusion
2
Qingke Pingchuan granule alleviates the diseases possibly by regulating such targets as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(KDR), transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-
), and interleukin-2(IL-2), affecting the synthesis and transport of regulatory factors in cytoplasm, and controlling the cell proliferation and apoptosis.
