Mechanism of Modified Taohe Chengqitang in Treating Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Based on Network Pharmacology
To study the potential therapeutic targets of modified Taohe Chengqitang for type 2 diabetes mellitus based on network pharmacology.
Method:
2
Based on TCMSP database and Uniprot database
the active constituents and target genes of flavored modified Taohe Chengqitang were screened.Target genes of type 2 diabetes were screened by gene cards database and OMIM database
and Cytoscape software was used to construct " active component-target" interaction network diagram.The active component targets and disease targets were uploaded to the STRING database
the protein interaction network map (PPI) was constructed
and the characteristic values were calculated
and core genes were screened by using R language.Finally
R language was used to analyze gene ontology (GO) enrichment and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genome (KEGG) pathway enrichment of key targets.
Result:
2
The 155 active components and 106 effective targets of modified Taohe Chengqitangin the treatment of type 2 diabetes were predicted.Quercetin
kaempferol and isorhamnetin were the most effective components
while estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1)
peroxidosomal hyperplasia activates receptor gamma (PPARG) and androgen receptor (AR) were the most effective components.Core genes in PPI network areepidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)and ESR1
etc.GO enrichment analysis shows that it can affect gene transcription
nuclear receptor activity
hormone receptor binding
neurotransmitter
etc.Enrichment analysis of KEGG pathway showed that fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis pathways were the most significant pathways
followed by advanced glycation end products-receptor for AGE (AGE-RAGE) pathway.
Conclusion:
2
Predicted by the method of network pharmacology modified Taohe Chengqitang key targets for prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes and related pathways
results suggest the recipe has multiple targets
multiple pathways
such as complex mechanism
not only show that modified Taohe Chengqitang has hypoglycemic effect
