Mechanism of Anti-tuberculosis Particles (Kanglao Granule) Based on Network Pharmacology and Experimental Research
To explore the potential anti-tuberculosis mechanism of Kanglao granule through network pharmacology.
Method
2
The active components of Kanglao granule were retrieved from related databases and the potential targets of the components from SwissTargetPrediction. Targets of the tuberculosis were screened from GeneCards and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and the anti-tuberculosis targets of the prescription were further identified. STRING and Cytoscape 3.8.0 were employed to construct the Chinese medicinal-disease target-signaling pathway network and screen core targets. Then gene ontology (GO) term enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment were performed. Finally, AutoDock Vina was used for molecular docking between the active components of the prescription and key proteins and Western blotting for verifying the interaction between them.
Result
2
A total of 29 important chemical components in the prescription were screened out, including
β
-sitosterol, sesamin, and kaempferol. A total of 28 key anti-tuberculosis targets were retrieved, such as protein kinase B1 (Akt1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), hypoxia inducible factor-1A (HIF-1A), proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase (SRC), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Bioinformatics analysis showed the 28 targets were involved in 41 GO terms such as oxygen metabolism, nucleic acid transcription, and metabolic enzyme pathway, and 28 key KEGG pathways, including
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
signaling pathway and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B pathway. Molecular docking results showed that Akt1 had the strongest binding affinity to sesamin.
In vitro
experiment indicated that sesamin inhibited the growth of
M.
tuberculosis
by suppressing the phosphorylation of Akt1.
Conclusion
2
Kanglao granule improved the sterilization level and immune response through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway interactions, thereby achieving therapeutic effect on tuberculosis. Akt1 is one of the important targets involved in the treatment of tuberculosis.
