Abstract
Objective
2
To predict the therapeutic targets and related signaling pathways of orcinol glucoside (OG) in the treatment of osteoporosis by network pharmacology, and further clarify its mechanisms based on molecular docking and
in vitro
cell model.
Method
2
The pharmacological targets of OG were obtained from Similarity ensemble approach (SEA) and SwissTargetPrediction, and the targets related to osteoporosis from DisGeNET and GeneCards. The cross-analysis was conducted to screen the common targets between OG and osteoporosis. STRING was used to construct the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, followed by topology analysis using CytoNCA plug-in of Cytoscape 3.7.2 to screen out the core targets. The obtained common targets were subjected to gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis by g:Profiler. AutoDock Vina was utilized for molecular docking, and the
in vitro
cell experiments were then carried out for verifying the mechanism of OG in treating osteoporosis.
Result
2
A total of 73 targets related to OG and osteoporosis were harvested,among which 14 were proved to be key targets by topological analysis. GO and KEGG functional enrichment analysis yielded 259 cell biological processes, mainly involving organonitrogen compound metabolic process, cell population proliferation, protein metabolic process, regulation of response to stress, and response to chemicals. Its mechanism of action might be related to advanced glycation end-product (AGE)-AGE receptor (RAGE) signaling pathway, interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway. Molecular docking indicated that the binding energies of OG to Cyclin D
1
(CCND1) and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) were the lowest and similar. The results of flow cytometry showed that compared with the normal group, OG group exhibited decreased proportion of cells in G

/G
1
phase (
P
<
0.01) and decreased proportion of cells in S phase (
P
<
0.01). As demonstrated by Western blot, compared with the normal group, OG up-regulated the protein expression levels of Cyclin D
1
and CDK4 (
P
<
0.05,
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
OG alleviates osteoporosis via multiple targets and multiple pathways. It may exert the therapeutic effects by increasing Cyclin D1 and CDK4 protein expression to change cell cycle and promote cell proliferation.
