Effective Components of Periploca forrestii Against Rheumatoid Arthritis by Targeting TNF-α
based on network pharmacology and experimental verification.
Method
2
The preliminary research of the research group found that the alcohol extracts of
P. forrestii
(CDLF and CQAF) had significant anti-RA activities,and 10 monomers with such activities were identified. The anti-RA activities of active monomers,CDLF, and CQAF were compared by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)with interleukin(IL)-6,nitric oxide (NO),IL-1
β
, and prostaglandin E
2
(PGE
2
)as indicators. Network pharmacology was employed to analyze the possible molecular mechanism of
P. forrestii
against RA. The targeting ability of
P. forrestii
chemical monomers to TNF-
α
was verified by TNF-
α
molecular docking,surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and TNF-
α
-induced L929 injury model.
Result
2
ELISA showed that the anti-RA activities of CDLF and CQAF were significantly stronger than those of identified 10 active monomers. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the core targets of
P. forrestii
against RA were signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 3 (STAT3),TNF, and IL-6. Gene Ontology(GO) analysis revealed collagen catabolism,inflammatory response,positive regulation of nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-
κ
B) transcription factor activity,and positive regulation of B cell proliferation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (EKGG) pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated TNF signaling pathway,phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt) signaling pathway,NF-
κ
B signaling pathway,Toll-like receptor signaling pathway,mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway, etc. Verification experiments by TNF-α molecular docking,SPR, and TNF-
α
-induced L929 injury model found that CDLF and CQAF had good binding activities and could manifestly antagonize TNF-
α
. However, the active components separated and identified from CDLF and CQAF did not show the same anti-TNF-
α
activity.
Conclusion
2
The CDLF and CQAF of
P. forrestii
may treat RA by targeting TNF-
α
. The experiments found that the isolated chemical components had weaker binding activity to TNF-
α
than CDLF and CQAF. Meanwhile,the research group isolated chemical components with a minimum mass fraction of 0.25 ng·g
-1
from
P. forrestii
, which suggested that the active components generated by binding to TNF-
α
with anti-RA activities were presumedly trace components .
